Triumph triple or a Honda Vtwin do it for me - aka the RC51

 

The new AT has tubeless wheels. If im paying $3k+ for wheels im choosing the color. And maybe ill choose Honda Red

 

Mine has the tubeless wheels. They are nice and have held up very well, just wish Honda would have matched the colors a little better.

 

+1 to crossplane i4 and V4


Tho i really do like the sound of my 270* parallel of the super tenere singing at 8k rpms.


I am more of an induction noise fan vs exhaust noise on my motos, all of them have stock exhausts.

 

Tripples always .... V4 and i4 are nice but I hear them all the time so they get old quick.

 

I wonder if it’s because I love music with a lot of bass. That just more appealing to me than highs. I wonder what a small displacement i4 crossplane would sound like. The R1 is the best sounding i4 to me. The V4 Ducati is nice.

 

Ya'll gonna hate me, but this is the best sounding engine.

 

For sound alone, nothing beats a V twin. Harleys sound amazing. They're just inefficient.

 

Harley? Vtwin? Best sounding? Hahahahaha. The RC166 is easily the best sounding bike ever made.

I am glad we all have different tastes. Would be boring if we didn’t.

 

Sounds like a weedeater.

 

Talk about a barn find! It was just hiding in my shop.

 

potato potato potato potato potato..

Fun fact if yall didn’t know.. in the 90s Harley tried to copyright their engine sound and described it as saying “potato” as low and as fast as you could. They got sued by other manufacturers and dropped their attempt after a few years.

 

The funniest thing I’ve heard all day. I can’t stop saying it!

 

I think the class is going to Starbucks after


Also hate to say it, @cynicalrider is right, a big ass bike isnt great to learn slow speed maneuvering on. Dropped my bike again today. I will now look for a smaller bike

 

You have some explaining to do cus that is a BEAUTIFULLY clean SV650S.

 

I do like my v twin lol

 

I think you should ya know give me that lol

 

That bike looks familiar. .......

 

Well like I said it’s day to day. Found a good deal IMO on a 2011 GSXR 600 8500 miles ecu flash, slip on de cat ect . Asking $7500 will sell for $6500. Will make a great back road ripper/ trackday bike. I will get helibar risers to make it more comfortable. I have a saddle man seat off the GSXR 750 and front and rear braided brake lines that I bought for the 750 and never used. I will need to powder coat the wheels because white doesn’t work for me.
