Love it! And yeah the used prices are silly right now I'm hoping a deal comes along this winter

Thanks I'll keep that in mind, I've seen a few people switch them out for the TRD caps

 

Ive ridden horses all my life, I’m certain they gave a lot more power than a Grom haha just different gearing


For real though, look it up, a horse has around 10-15 horsepower.

 

I did that when I had my wheels. But recently those TRD center caps have been discontinued. I just recently sold a set of 4 for $150. Id say good luck to finding a set

 

@FreshOldTaco I think your best bet right now for finding a smoking deal would be in the private used for sale market... this time of year people feel that holiday pressure for cash and their untouched bike in the garage collecting dust is a quick way!

 

and winter deals too

 

Yeah that was probably a waste of time thinking a dealer would play ball, but haven't seen much in the classifieds lately. Just have to keep looking and be patient...

 

A brand new SP (or even the new-new XSR900) would be pretty tempting compared to the used market here, non-existent or over priced.

 

I think my neighbor is selling his XSR. I can ask him the next time i see him. I don't think I've ever seen him ride it

 

Heard that! This bike was a 2014 w/13k miles and they wanted $7000. The original MSRP was 7,990

 

I've been seeing 4-5 year old bikes with ~10k miles listed right at MSRP and sometimes higher lately. The attempt to justify it is that because there are no freight and set-up fees it is cheaper than buying brand new which I guess is true but still

Just need the Dominator too

 

pretty sure they still make an NX for the global market, its called a falcon now though and not a dominator

honda is bringing back the transalp as well it seems, but if you ask me the thing is ugly as sin, far from the awesome styling she once had

gold wheels are life

 

my 110 shipped out on the 19th, dealer should be receiving delivery sometime this Friday/Saturday
could possibly be in my garage by next saturday december the 4th
they are receiving 6 units, two per crate, all 6 units are already sold (deposit down pending full payment)
also I asked about a trx90, they only have one on their inbound sheet and someone already has a deposit on it

I guess now the question is, do i bring this home and list it up for sale above msrp for that Christmas special

 

Then go buy a Navi

 

i like them but i wont be getting one, honestly i rather a used zuma or vespa if I was going the street legal scooter route again

id really like a four wheel dirt toy though, either a trx90 or a sport quad again, or honestly even possibly a utility quad with a plow and a trailer for yard chores

 

I vote Banshee. You need another resto project

 

no projects until the 50 is finished up and running

if i find a perfect showroom banshee, that might happen, but it wouldnt get used honestly...

it would sit in a corner with some vintage playboys that never get peeped, like a proper man cave garage

 

Like this guy? Why on earth would you want a mini quad!? Mini bikes are awesome, mini quads are lame!

that 110 seems like it has about 1k in parts added, so given msrp 2500, plus taxes, 4k aint that bad lol tis the season!!!


and I will give you a pass on the mini quad comment.... i expected better from you, as i know you truly appreciate the mini bikes....

dude mini quads are so much fun, you can throw those things around like toys its really a blast, dont hate they are far from lame!!!

either the honda ex/trx90s or the suzuki lt80s, you have no idea how much fun you can have with these, and if you throw money at them and beef them up for get about it so much fun...
