Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Wish I could find a full exhaust for $47. Cheapest descent one is $120 which I might go that route so I won’t care if it gets scratched when the bike is dropped.

 

Hypothetically speaking, if we go into a recession what do you guys think will happen to the motorcycle market? I remember in 2010 I got a phenomenal deal on used one but I was young and wasn’t really paying attention to the economy/Market

 

well you see the economy a motorcycle offers is really something to consider

but its the soul soothing fun factor makes it a no brainer really



hypothetical edit* we are in a

 

Market will slow down but i dont think itll operate any different. Itll affect dealers the most.

 

Thats really good. I bought mine new in 2016 for 3.5k. Rode it for a year installed some mods and sold it for 3k. Fun little bike.

 

I think I sold mine for 1900.

 

Did a bit of work on the katoom today.

 

Just gave it away. Do the Kawasaki’s not hold there value?

 

Fack. Ordered the wrong headlight extension block. I got the long one but needed the short apparently

 

I think the grom/125 category doesn't.

 

mine had about 2k miles when I sold it. I had a short commute to work.

 

Picked up my leftover 2019 for $2711 otd shouldn’t lose money on it unless I mod it, but I am quickly finding out it’s hard not to mod these things.

 

Good news is, everything is still functional without it. So it’s not that big a deal. The front just looks a little funky with the headlight so recessed in to the fairing

 

is that a dent i see in that sexy can already?? was just watching videos about this the other day

Yeah its got a few and a little bend. Ive heard sketchy things about pumping the exhaust full of pressurized air. There is a hydro one but it wont work with this pipe because of the way ktm put the ribs in and ovalized it.

Go to 13:25 and youll see the one that did it, lol.

I paid $2400 for my 1996 Sportster in 2016 (with 19k on the clock). Now I have about the same amount in just the engine and exhaust...

 

Why do we have such expensive hobbies?

 

I quit tallying up how much I have in the truck...
