Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Looks like solid quality of life mods and a pretty unmolested bike/engine otherwise. Enough miles that you know it got ridden but not crazy amounts. If you can get the price into a better area I'd say go for it.

 

My riding buddy raves about his Kawa Versys. They are nice and quick.

 

I’ve owned ~14 bikes of all sorts and my Versys is probably my favorite one that I’ve owned.

 

That little thing has 39hp/19tq where my little Rally has 28hp/19tq. It has a pretty decent top speed of 104

 

Test riding a Goldwing and hopefully a GSXR1000GT this week

I used to hate on these big boats so much

 

Nice color!
I picked mine up last Tuesday, so almost a week of riding it every day. 2023, used with 1k on it.
This was this afternoon.

 

What do you think I should offer? I'm hoping to get it for $3k but not sure if that's reasonable...

Other question is should I wait to see if I can sell the Navi first? Probably but I'm not that patient.

 

It has good upgrade parts. The kitaco oil filter side cover is about 400 bucks by itself. So you have about 1000 in aftermarket parts that most would do anyway. The price is right. I like the shorter stroke engine better also. I say go for it.

 

Just bought my new to me 2018 Grom with 930 miles on the odo for $3500 Canadian if that gives you any kind of idea. Only mods were flush mount front signals and fender delete with integrated tail light. Some nice mods on that bike, but I think people are still living under the dilusion of covid inflation. Saying that, it's probably priced about $500 over what they're willing to take for it.

Speaking of mods, did the first of mine today. Grom got a Kitaco clutch cover and Takegawa high flow oil pump. Goodbye oil spinner. Hello oil filter.

 

I think I'm going to wait till I can sell the Navi before I jump on a Grom. Parking is already tight and I don't want to be out $3k+ and not be able to sell the Navi.

 

Looks good to me! See if you can talk him down a couple hundred dollars. Its not a terrible price with that california tax though.

 

I want to get the clutch cover but rearsets might be first. Hopefully I can get some track days in this fall.

 

Wife came home, told me I should buy Grom now and worry about Navi later.

 

It’s a trap. She just needs the necessary leverage to go buy that $5k diamond necklace she’s been looking at.

 

Convenient oil changes was a priority for me. I bought the bike in Alberta, but will register it in Ontario, which requires a safety inspection. It won’t pass with the integrated tail light and no plate light. Got a Vagabond tail tidy on the way and a nice set of LED signals coming from Fortnine. Also have a set of Kenda 761’s on order. This winter will see it getting an MNNTBX intake, a cam, and an ecu flash. I’m on the fence about a pipe.

 

Sounds like you have a keeper.

 

i ran the tusk adventure tires and they have done me great! awful in rain and not capable of leaning super far and wear out with about 2k miles lol but overall a great tire for a great price!

 

The CRF guys have reported great wear from theirs. I'm hoping for at least the same amount or better I got from the stockers.
