Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

For the peeps with Groms, do you get burnt out on them?
Did you end up selling them?
How much was insurance on them? I really want one, but I’m afraid coming from a sports bike I’m going to get tired of it. I am wanting something low key to screw around on.

 

A toasted 2012-2015 regular cab 4x4 in the background. <\3

 

It was an impulse buy for me. I had it for 8 months. I paid $70/ year for insurance. I had a Yamaha FZ09 at the same time.

 

Picked this up, 2K miles, like brand new. Removed smog, airbox, jetted carb, added FMF pipe and got Renthal sprockets and gold O-Ring chain on order. Much more in the works.

 

crf 450 front and rear fenders make this bike look very nice

 

Anyone have any experience with the SW-MOTECH Legend LR2 Tailbag?



I do a fair amount of sport touring on my Speed Triple and looking for a new luggage system. Found a really good price on one of these, but have never seen one in person. All I know is that SW-MOTECH make good kit.

 

@AR15xAR10 do you approve of me trading the Harley for this?

i really dont understand why they made that abomination

 

it has the FZ engine..


I am kinda rethinking my moto decision, but not sure about the next one

 

actually no, its just a super weird and dramatically heavier FZ09

 

but blue forks!

 

Was this one of you?

Anyone here ridden the KTM 390?

 

That may be the ugliest stock bike I've ever seen

I wouldn't call that a fail. At first I thought it was a bit ambitious throwing his hoodie like that, but man I wasn't disappointed. Quick, efficient, and he stuck the landing. The boot though, lace up man!

 

Finally happening...

Not the 390, but I did ride the 690 during a KTM demo event. I was very impressed by that single. It seemed to pull forever on the top end. My buddy rode the 390 and he said it was fun and light, but he kept bumping into the rev limiter trying to keep up with the rest of us.

 

Heres a motorcycle I saw today, well kinda, it has 3 wheels in the back and looked very home made

 

i love my 690. so thumpy! tons of torque for shenanigans

 

looks to be steam powered
