    Rode a 1290 Super Duke today, that was nuts. I now know what 180hp feels like and the shorter gearing makes it a rocket to ride.

    I also now know I hate naked bikes, my WR is windy on the highway but cant go fast enough to see the rough wind. Holy crap is 100mph awful without fairings or windscreens.

    I remember my dealership tried to pull something similar on me when i traded in my WRX for the taco.

    Showed up, gave them the WRX, signed all paperwork, and they told me all was good and congratulated me on the new purchase. A week later, they called and told me they were having trouble finding a lender who would give me a loan, and I would need to bring the truck back.

    I wasn't very happy with that, basically told them I would not accept the WRX back as IDK where it's been/how it's been driven since I gave it up, and I would not be relinquishing the truck unless they gave me an offer I absolutely couldn't refuse.

    They had an auto loan through Capital One for me by the end of the day lol.

    Couldn't tell ya. I did go in and handle the transaction pretty late in the day, maybe it was too late to submit the application, and they thought the deal was a lock anyways?

    I was pretty annoyed when they called me about it because I thought for sure I was about to be out both vehicles and just a very small monetary sum for my trade in. And this was after I'd spent about 2-3 months looking for the right vehicle lol.

    Maybe they realized after they sold it that it was actually a T|X Baja, and not a TRD Offroad like they'd had it listed? idk tho

    Sixth on my S1000XR was lugging the engine under 70mph, zero need for seventh unless you wanted to cruise at 150+ I guess?. Having another gear on my grom would be useless, too, it can't even run out fifth all the way.

    Its called a yo-yo scam.

    No matter how much you hate dealerships, you don't hate them enough.

    Was leaving work just last week and saw a guy in that position on his mortorcycle. Rode right past with his legs straight out the back. Looked like a complete idiot to me, haha.
