Blazing Blue Pearl Thread

Funny thing I was planning on riding the bike up through Stanley, Salmon to Lolo and hitting up hwy 12. I hear between Lolo and Kooskia its supposed to be amazing.

 

It is. What type of bike are you talking?

 

Gixxer 1000. Not exactly the most comfy touring bike. 8 hours of riding usually takes 9 with breaks to stretch out.

 

Hahaha I know the feeling I just sold my SV650 for that reason. Plus you throw the lady on the back and it really wears on your wrist. I'm looking to get more of a cruiser in my old age...

 

That's why I went from Ninja's to these:

 

I went from that to this...

 

Speed Triple FTW! rode from DC to Cape Cod last summer, 11 hours on the bike in a day and wasn't tired when I got there... had bags on the back too

Oh yeah... this is a BBP TRUCK thread... Here's another bike in the truck on RM Clutch SD's:

 

I took my old 748 and gixxer750 cross country twice.


Needed breaks every 3 hours, due to fuel tank range and wrist pain ....

 

The hard part about switching out is the cost.. I bought this Sv with 6k miles for $1200 I doubt i will find that kind of a deal on any type of cruiser.

 

Interesting.

Having ridden crotch rockets all my life, I would think the hard part to switching is the lack of speed....

 

+1000

 

Back to BBP wasn't sure how the green was going to look but I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out! And I folded up the softopper to load the dirt bike tomorrow. I love how well that thing works!

 

If i buy a cruiser it will be a 1200 + cc It will have plenty of power.

 

The thing with Cruisers isn't the CC or the power, its the weight.

Its like having a V10 VW Toureg vs a Audi R8.

Cruisers have amazing low end torque.

Different strokes for different folks. For me the thrill of my 848 and gixxer these days are 0-60, and 75-90mph, and the beautiful curvy roads I can take with them. I am looking to consolidate my bikes into a 1199 Panigale

 

I would agree with the difference and i love the differences, I've been ridding for years. I get more of my thrills on my KTM and want my road experience to be relaxing now.

 

Choices are a good thing for customers. Some people need Raptors, some people happy with a 4 Cyl Taco

 

Found my twin at the grocery store.

 

Does it also have that window sticker?

 

Nope. But it's also a TRD OR with factory tonneau cover and tech package.

I realized after taking this that I should park side to side because the picture will be better.
