Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Friend of mine just picked up Agusta Dragster and his brother got a Ducati XDiavel. I took them for a spin today. Those things are monsters, but the looks are not my cup of tea.

A Road King is more my style. I love HD baggers.

 

hahahaha. I worked at a Harley shop, so I'm familiar with the types.

 

Nice! Just messing with you bud. Every style of bike has those douchebag riders for sure.

I used to want an 883 so bad. Maybe someday I'll be able to afford a Fat Bob and add it to the collection of bikes a want some day haha

 

I miss bikes. Have been bike-less for about 8 years now, but I am looking to change that at some point soon.

Really want a URAL. I grew up riding those things and want one just for shits and giggles. If I ever buy a Harley it will be a big bagger, anything FL-type. But I really want to build my own bobber. Been slowly accumulating pieces here and there for the past 10+ years. Nothing major, just whatever fell on my lap.

Something like this. Rigid frame, springer front end. None of those fucking ridiculous 3' wide wires and 6ft long forks. Not gonna be a Sportster motor though. I really love '66'-'69 Pan/Shovel motors. Shovel top end with a Panhead lower end. I think those are the best looking motors. Will probably get one of those from S&S.

 

Did an hour test ride and im glad i went with the recommendation from race tech. The rear stays planted, pot holes disappear and cornering has improved yet again. Now to play with the compression and rebound settings.

 

Could have gone for the Honda CB1000r?

 

Don't really need/want a 1000.

 

Hey what's going on in here. I forgot about this thread haha

 

1000 are great for the street, even if you don't need the power. Never have to downshift riding around. Or upshift. Just ride everywhere in second haha

 

^

This is why I have always had a 1000cc or more and for other reasons.

 

I'll never own another 600CC+ sportbike again. Too many speeding tickets/warnings, because I just can't resist that throttle-shift-throttle routine. Even with my 636 you were well past the speed limit before you caught 3rd.
With a cruiser or the 250 it's less of a problem.

 

This bike is sexy as fuck.

 

Makes sense, but I'll be ok with the 650. It's got all the power I need.

 

That sounds boring, i enjoy being in 5th gear doing 60 on my drz. I personally have a lot of fun tearing through gears really fast.

 

I routinely hit triple digits on dirt roads out in BFE when I had my 950 Adventure or 690 Enduro (when the road type allowed it). I got sad when I hit pavement because I had to slow down :lol3.

I do lust after a 1290 Superduke though.

 

Rode with a 1290 last weekend. Thing is meaaan!

 

But which one....Hehe

 

Both!

 

Yes.
