    Agreed and same thing goes for riding on pavement. You don't realize how slow you are until you ride on a track where you're getting passed by a kid on a 250. Takes practice and training to build up your skills.

    Professional riders are on another level, majority of them started riding/racing very young and put in a ton of work to get where they're at

    I think people have lost the art of selling a vehicle. I have looked at quite a few trucks over the last two months and non have been clean and detailed like they are being sold. Sellers not messaging back, too busy to show or I had two that were out of town?? WTF why would you put something up for sale then not be around to sell? It is getting so frustrating. Now I know why my stuff sells so fast.

    I had an RF1200 I used for years. I had been wanting the Mural for over a year and a half and when the CG had a Medium when I went yesterday I just decided I had to buy it.

    I had the 1200 too, liked it as well but the new model feels more comfortable to me. Are you gonna spring for the transition shield? I went with the dark smoke

    All my rigs are purpose built. From crawling to camping. I also enjoy a nice stock truck for what that’s worth. Toyota’s are the jam!
    How you diggin that new GS. I got to get another big bike, the 890r is WAY too cramped for 2 up, for someone my size.
    Looking at the GSA and of the 1290r. There are others I should consider as well, but it needs to be a dual sport or it won’t get ridden as much.

    I sold that 2015 1190r because it was burning my balls into oblivion, and I couldn’t take it anymore on long rides.

    I love it! The shaft drive and single swing arm, telilever front suspension and different ride modes. The thing is nimble and has no issues leaning over. The 8 gallon tank means fill ups once a week instead of every 2 1/2 days (I like to fill up around 100 miles to empty) and I put about 250 miles on it a week.

    I’d call it a motorcycle if it were just a little bit bigger.

    The fact is doesn't have pedals makes it not a bicycle to me. Bunch of DBs fly around on those around where I live in an unsafe manor

    I was talking with a cop buddy at work the other week about surrons and the like.. he says they're having a hell of a time with them on campus and with the college kids because they're too powerful to be e-bikes and be ridden under those laws, but aren't street legal motorcycles. So they exist in a dirtbike-like illegal to use around town area and they're having to do a ton of education and enforcement on them around town.

    I still want one, but wish there was a street legal version. True off-road is too far away for me to get one that isn't street legal, it'd never get ridden.

    Those graphics are awesome! Best I've seen in a while.

    I like my RF-1400 and think it feels a little better than my RF-1200. It is a tad quieter as well. But I like the shield better on the RF-1200. It seems thicker/ more durable and I like that it doesn't require pushing a lock release to open the shield. It takes me a couple of tries to find the latch and open the shield on my RF-1400 when wearing motorcycle gloves.

    We showing off new helmets? I just got the Klim Krios Pro. Impressed so far. Transitions shield may not last though

    Electric dirtbike/ off-road use only seems like the most accurate classification. A street legal version would be cool if it maintains the similar dimensions.
