Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

I still have yet ride a bike with traction control or abs. Don't even know if I'd like a bike having all those safety tech

 

The MT-09 is in high demand right now, dealers around here don't have new ones on the floor which is driving up used prices.

I bought an FZ a few weeks ago, it's an awesome bike - light and fast! Also no traction control or ABS on the older models if that's what you're looking for

 

I Still have a couple months before I plan on buying but all the dealers around me have no inventory. I stop at one the other day just to sit on the bike and basically wasted the 40min drive there. Their website stated they had two in stock. Welp that was false advertising

 

What year is the fz you picked up. Got pictures

 

I think control over traction and abs are for adventure bikes. I hated having abs on my Harleys but mostly because its a pain to change bars and bleed. I never got it perfect.

I guess I could see how it would be safe if you slam on the brakes. But also depends on how advanced the abs system was. They can claim they have ABS all day, but if its old clunky technology, then how is it really helping?

 

His pictures are awesome! Looks exactly like my old one from 2014.

 

That thing is clean

 

Yup the market is rough right now, sales guys have told me that's likely to continue through this year unfortunately.

It's a 2014 just like @fatfurious2 had. The previous owner dumped a lot of money into it...full suspension, exhaust/ECU flash, comfort seat, ASV levers, SS brake lines, heated grips, and some other stuff

 

Very nice.

 

Thanks man good luck with your bikes

 

Kinda at a stand still rn now. My brother has my storage unit pack to the brim was supposed to close on the house today but got pushed back to next Friday. So my motorcycles are trapped.

 

Hurry up and make it street legal then sell it to me!

 

HD is my brand of choice, but that’s one badass looking bike !!

 

Thanks! What you riding currently? My dad was a Harley guy so I feel like I should get one at some point.

 

Lol I've decided to hold onto it for awhile. I've got big plans for this one.

 

I am jonesing HARD for a MT09 (although I really like the XSR looks)! Definitely not a good time to be a buyer though...

 

to drop $1200 on moto parts this morning.. or wait until next week hah!

 

Do it

 

I called @uurx and he said the same thing
