Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

I'm on the fence about the new Street Bob. Performance and handling are supposedly better because of the softtail frame, but smaller motor and tank and I can't forget the Dyna's timeless styling with exposed rear suspension and better looking tank.

 

Im probably buying a Sportster 48 tomorrow. The sales guy did tell me about the phasing out of the older Dynas, vs the new softails. But my minds been set on the 48 for a while.

This one is badass, but an $800 special edition paint option.. plus I dont want ABS or the security module.

 

Looks awesome. Makes me miss my Nightster. The release of the Iron 1200 almost puts me back on a sporty.

 

I miss my nightster too!

 

the only reason not to want abs is for sliding the rear around? otherwise it wont kick in/if ever. thats what ive noticed on my 690. can still pull up the rear tire.

 

It's weird on a bike, ive heard

 

the time ive had it kick in on gravel, it felt like normal braking practically. it was nice

 

Watched a propo DVD about ABS from the local dealer. Didn’t promote it as much as educated about it. In the end they said it was rider’s choice. Id prefer without because I can expect the bike to react a certain way with rider input (including losing traction). Not saying I can out-ride ABS, but at least I won’t be freaked out if it comes in trying to save my stupid ass.

 

The only bike at the Tacoma meet.

 

Love the tt200, I almost got one but it sold =(

 

my friend is selling his tw200 asking 3000

 

This thing looks interesting.

Sigh...

 

Took my sons bobber to the dealer to be serviced, and bought a scout 60 while I was there. Not crazy about the paint, but figure I'll do a custom paint job eventually anyway. Didn't take a picture. They will deliver it to me later this week.

This is the bike I bought: http://www.heritageindiannwa.com/default.asp?page=xNewInventoryDetail&id=3870677&p=1&am=indian|indian motorcycle&s=Year&d=D&fr=xNewInventory
That exhaust will be gone in a week or so. Something black, smaller, and louder.

 

The way i look at it, it won't kick in unless I've already screwed the pooch. I wouldnt buy a new car without it, and figure the same for a bike.

 

Nice! You weren't kidding.
I still have my complete passenger setup (HD pegs/phantom pad). Used 3 times.
PM me if you were interested.

 

Yes interested. But totally broke right now. Need to wait for things in my wallet to calm down. PM incoming

 

I'll fight anybody that says the regular Scout looks better than the Sixty. Black FTW. Plus, they removed 5th instead of 6th, so no change in cruising.

 

so gear shifting goes 1-2-3-4-6 ?
