Wait till you ride a liter bike. 600s are tame, there's plenty of throttle forgiveness, big bikes are so powerful it's insane

 

It's what I gathered, the 600 was really manageable below 10,000 but wakes up after that. The liter bikes I've been told will make it feel like you'll fall off as you warp through time.

I won't be on a super sport again for a while me thinks. I'm now looking for a touring bike, likely a liter, but a lot lower strung.

 

The Ninja H2R would be a good liter bike to take for a ride.

 

Tonight’s project - getting new tires on tomorrow. Was gonna just ride it to the dealer but it was 1.5 hours labor to remove and install the tires. Looked up how to earlier this week and figured it shouldn’t be that hard and would save myself some dollars

 

Been eyeing the standard m3 model so I can take the 300 on some longer trips with the 4Runner. Feedback on how it handles down the road when you get to that point would be great to hear first hand.

 

Heard from the tire guy not getting the tires I have on right now because there no longer available. Soo backup and punted, did research and settled on these

Should be there on Monday or Tuesday.
It is a vintage and rare bike only 6389 BMW r65ls's made. It's fun to ride and basically easily serviced.

 

Avon are very good tires. I wanted them for my bonnevile but I could never get both sizes, either the front or the rear but never both at the same time. Lucky you.

 

Looks like a decent choice. I've been running into that with finding tires for my CB400F. Tire choices in 18" size street tires are getting slim. I went with these.

I don't put many miles on this bike and it's only in rain if I get caught out somewhere.

 

question for the super tenere guys in here.

what years are a no go? the gf is getting sick of the bolt and how uncomfortable it is. (its honestly not bad for me.. but with how she sits on it she is not happy with it and is causing her to be in pain... id prefer to keep it as a toy bike and make it a bobber but if i need to sell it for a better two person bike i can.)

i found i think? a 2014 with 25k miles which is higher but ive heard you all talk about how reliable they are. the bike is fully kitted out with a lot of stuff (will send a pic later) for 5k it seems like a good deal thats cheap enough where i can still keep my bolt and have a better long distance bike and two up bike.

 

Burgman! I love riding mine with my wife and it's super comfy.

 

idk what that is haha

 

Probably the coolest bike ever

 

haha i think im good!

 

For as lame as they are, I'll probably always own a maxi-scooter for their versatility. The Burgman does just about everything I throw at it. With that being said I cannot wait to get something a bit more fun. I'm planning on buying my coworkers XR150L at the end of this summer, and I can't wait for it.

 

we have a xr150l and its a fun little bike. its my gfs bike and atm its at the dealer getting the choke fixed and throttle screw fixed. but other then that an awesome little bike.

 

Features only changed a little, and I don't think there's a no-go year, but I defer to @nd4spdbh as the ST guru.

 

There was an Honda ADV for sale on fb marketplace a while back......cool ass scooter It was a Repsol version(don't know if that was factory or just a sticker kit)

 

ah i gotcha i shall wait for the guru


Edit it's a 2012

 

A few popped up near me last year, they're super neat. I'd love to try one out but idk if I'd choose one over a Grom or XR150L

 

I had a Honda Elite 80(had a buddy with one and another with a Yamaha Razz) when I was 14. Put 4000 miles on them in a summer.....then was afraid to get made fun of at school so I stopped riding it

One of the best summers of my life.
