I'd like to see what Pol Tarres thinks of the AT. The way he rinds the piss out of that T7

 

Shit, didn't realize it was that low. My 2010 F800 has 85hp at 7500rpm, even. I'd bet the T7's has a much wider torque curve? Torque wise, the f800 is only 61lbft at 5750 rpm. Also the f800gs has the same claimed wet weight of the t7 at 450lbs.

Edited for graphs:


F800GS from Rider Magazine

 

look up Toni Bou on africa twin

 

Geez. That dude has me wanting a CRF250

And shows you don't need gold wheels to be cool

 

you need gold wheels to make up for the skills you lack

 

Pssh that wont change anything


I probably still have some of that gold tape from when i was protecting the box on the scrambler

 

I heard if you put that on your chest hair it really improves your skills.

 

Next rescue project. 1980. Honda 185.

 

That’s what mine looked like when I rescued it.
Super fun project to get into.

 

.
Hopefully parts wont be hard to find..

 

Beatrice Cycle, AKA: DRATV was a good resource. Their website isn’t pulling up on mobile, but you should check them out on desktop. Website looks circa windows 95, but the small, family-run business is legit.

 

try David Silver Spares. Main shop is in the UK but they have a storefront in PA. Specializes in Honda up to 2001.

Have you looked in to Triumph Tigers? The new 1200 is supposed to be really good. The 900 is getting all kinds of raves, 94hp and 64 torque. I have a 2018 800XRx, power wheelies in first, scrapes pegs in the twisties easily. My wife and I did 1,000 miles in a 4 day stretch and had no complaints about comfort and with the bags loaded and her on the back, I still had plenty of roll on power on the highway to avoid and pass people, obviously not sport/super bike power, but more than enough to get it done. I come from a background of sport bikes, last being a '07 600RR. I was kind of worried about the power prior to riding one, but after I rode it no more worries. That triple is an amazing motor. The Tiger is no sport bike, but it will give you all you want and have you smiling while it does. Super happy with the decision.

@nd4spdbh

this is one of my friends. He bought it while waiting for an AT to become available. Then when one did, he listed this.

 

I havnt looked much into the tigers mainly due to price, They are a beautiful bike thats for sure! Ill have to do a little more digging on them though, their triple's are notorious for being amazing motors, and in fact I almost bought a triumph speed triple back in the day when i was looking to buy a naked bike but ended up with the Honda 919 cus the dealer with the triumph wouldnt do test rides.
