Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

I don’t think I could do a scooter. My 250L gets 74mpg which is good enough for saving a bunch of money over the truck if I really wanted to.

 

I don't want to warm up the truck for 10 min, drive for 7 min, then park at work for 10 hours. Seems like a waste. That's why i had a beater car

 

Why not ride the twin?

 

If it’s cold enough that I need to warm the truck up for ten minutes I’m not going to be on a bike anyway. My cutoff is about 40°, maybe a little lower if I know it’s going to be a nice warm ride home. A ten minute warm up for the truck is about a 0° day.

 

I will also.

 

I don't just jump in the truck and go. I like to warm it up so the temp needle starts to move, and then I can go

 

After a little research that Yamaha Razz is not a CVT, its a single speed 2 stroke. So top speed is about 35. Backed out of it.

But I found a Zuma that I offered the same $ for, so hopefully the guy agrees.

 

I am tempted to get one, it has always been one of my childhood dream bikes

 

the only pic I can find of my pink razz, miss having this little thing

 

Theres one down here, and the guy will take $575 haha

 

I couldn’t do it. I have zero desire to own a metropolitan.

 

yea I would much prefer a zuma, the metro is a nice city bike, not rugged enough for my taste

 

pics from my saturday ride at AOAA

 

we brought lunch, but it seems they highly encourage you to ride your atv into town and get some at one of the local bars
riding through the streets was funny, my cousin loved it he couldn't believe the cops waved us through

 

my tkc80 tires did way better than I expected, it was pretty wet and we had passing showers throughout the day, really never had any issues with traction

we ended up finding ourselves on blues just about the entire day, the trail markings are a little weird and we kept seeing blue ties on the trees

both of our bikes ate everything we had, it was fun, but pretty tired after the drive there and back

my cousin is learning the hard way, I told him he was going to regret wearing sweatpants... I remember how I was at 15 though

 

Lemme ask you guys this: if you were considering a Harley or Indian, the specs bring essentially the same, i.e. model and trim, which would you choose?

For clarity, I’m looking at a Road Glide Limited, but there’s lots of things about the new Pursuit I like - liquid cooled engine and adjustable windscreen, but concerned about things like reliability, availability of service and parts.

 

Ride them both. A decision that big shouldn’t be left to numbers on a sheet if that’s where you’re at. I think @BuzzardsGottaEat has experience with both brands. Service and parts availability is something to consider if there is not support for a particular brand in your area- but if that’s the case the bike itself would be hard to find as well, no?

 

Quick ride to the bank to put the scooter $ back in so i don't spend it on anything else

 

When I’m back in the house in a bit I’ll respond to OP’s question. Thanks for the tag.


OP if you don’t want me to offend anyone with personal experience, research, and opinions let me know and I can PM you rather than publicly reply haha.
