Superduke seems like the choice for guys like us atm. I saw a review of the pinegale where the guy said the seat was actually uncomfortable to sit on because it was so hot, even while moving. Believe it was nightrider on the utubes if u wanted to look it up. Also said it didn't fall into a corner like other great handling bikes.

 

superduke 1290 R ?

 

That's a shame for all that dough. The superduke is super nice, but I like my supermotos too damn much! Braaap.

Too bad females aren't attracted to them as much, haha. I've had one girl say nice bike.

 

This doesnt happen.. I thought it did all the time

 

Lol. I used to ask cute waitresses to pose on my bike after I paid up so there was no incentive for a tip. Had a few takers over the years! Then one of my old roomates drunken parties and friends asked and I said only if I could get some pictures !

It definitely never happens randomly lol.




Damn that was only 4 years ago but it feels like so long ago.

 

And that's the only reason I'd ever have a centerstand.

 

Awesome @TheMuffinMan ! My face definitely looks like your avatar now

 

I may have to try that!

Guess it has the benefit sometimes

 

I highly recommend asking when you're with friends. Wayyy less creepy that way, or something.

 

ha ha... yes, Id imagine so. Id just think they would get the hint when I walk in with my jacket and helmet..

 

I got my wingman who rides also. Ha.


Wait...how creepy did it get?

 

So here in a bit, I'm looking at the akra for my fz07. I'm new to bikes and countless people say you do/do not need a power commander (or ecu flash) for exhaust if you leave the baffle in. Because as both of you know, you can't do a true slip on exhaust on the fz just because of its design. What's your input

 

What

 

I have heard, yes, you should do power commander or some other ecu addon to adjust air/fuel. When you put a full exhaust, your bike will be running lean. Therefore you will backfire a little more than normal. You should want to fix the lean. I have heard over time, it may damage the engine. This is my first bike, that ive kept for more than a year. I ran without a power commander for 8 months.

I like backfire. @ChandlerDOOM does not. I want to be loud, so other people can hear me coming.

 

Oh I'm with ya. I'm loosing my hearing from riding. The Yosh exhaust I have on the 1000 is way loud but sounds so good! The hearing loss only lasts for a couple hours after the ride lol.

 

New lid should be here tomorrow. It's my first Arai always have had Shoei's hope I dont need to make a return...

 

I had to wash mine again today because someone left dog shit in the center of one of my local trails and it encased itself all over my front tire, front fender, header, frame, skidplate, headlight, swing arm, rear tire, rear inner fender, license plate, and brake light. smelled absolutely horrible.

I coated the whole bike in about a quart of simple green from a spray bottle and washed away all the big chunks with the hose.

So who knows what fall weather is like at deal's gap/tail of the dragon? It's only 4.5 hours from where I'll be working in a few months so I could probably make a weekend of it.

 

From my understanding, no fuel map required (even stated on revzilla). But like most engines it will be better with a tune. So far so good, runs like stock just sounds like a harley lol.

Oh I like it but it doesn't do it, without the baffle I'm sure it will but the exhaust gets plenty loud when I get on it. But if I can stay away from a re tune for a while I will.
