Decided to give heated gloves a try for cooler weather when the heated grips just aren’t cutting it.

ordered a set of Five HG1 gloves

 

G310GS’s are under $6k new, I’d say that’s right about right for a price. They’re a weird little bike, sat on one at a local dealer and it just felt off. Lots of body work for only a 313cc engine, not a very high top speed. Too heavy to be a small off roader, not a high enough top speed to comfortably tour. IMHO not sure why it exists aside from foreign markets and learner permits with CC restrictions.

 

Hmmm. Those look nice, i.e. like they would offer some protection if you went down, and not so bulky. Would love to hear your opinion once you put them to use!

 

really? i dont think i could find one here out the door for under 11, but we all in different states around the country also so I know we dont all get hit with the same tax and tag fees either

 

Some people also include service costs/man hours because they can't turn a wrench to save their life, though it doesn't add shit to the bottom line.

 

and they shouldnt be getting that back when selling. Just like the cost of the parts

 

i love it when people list stuff for sale and note the msrp next to each modification then sum it up at the bottom

buy used, pay new

 

I think this would be better for $11k

cant really compare, full frame vs not full frame

 

Wouldn't that be great, getting back all the money you dumped into your ride lol

 

I bet more wives would be happier

"dont worry, in 15 years when I sell, Ill get it all back"

 

Fixed it for you.

 

Exactly I'm filling the garage with investments I promise

 

it doesnt work for babies

 

@vtwinjunkie get in on the convo!

 

Different horses for courses. Thatd be miserable to try to ride single track (at least the stuff i like to ride offroad)

 

I don't mind some mods/upgrades adding to the cost a bit, particularly if it was something I'd likely be doing anyway, like a good aftermarket suspension setup or extra rims/tires AND there is documentation of it being done right. Regular maintenance and upkeep though? No, I'm not paying extra because you just changed the chain/sprockets/tires/oil, etc.

 

Cheers for motorbikes.
