Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Haven't touched it. Probably last time I worked on it was 6 months ago

 

It could be something simple if it has been sitting for a while. The battery on my F4i started to go bad and after I replaced it the engine ran like it had a misfire in low rpms. Turns out that driving it around with a dying/weak battery caused the plugs to foul. Once I replaced the plugs the bike ran like a top. If the bike looks good and doesn't have any damage I would still try to buy it. Maybe you can get a better deal. Or hook me up with the guy and I will try to buy it.

 

I was talking about their branding and marketing more than their motorcycle design and evolution. But now that you bring it up.. something like $13,500 for what is generally considered an entry level bike sounds like a challenging sale.

 

The Sportster S looked cool, but it also looks like you are sitting on top of the bike/could bounce off at any time. I don't like the look of the new Nightster and the under seat tank

 

i always thought those 30k+$$ harleys would be a challenging sale myself
I still have a hard time understanding that

 

Yeah they're not cheap, the 883 is over $11k

 

Isnt it the same as a $30k+ BMW? Zoom in on the price on that one

 

That's pricey for a sportster. I wasn't impressed when I test road one years ago. I was mainly comparing it to my mt07 at the time. It seems like they made some performance improvements, but I don't have time to watch a 30 minute video right now. I just got an rs660 for a similar price.

 

Nice you have any pics of the Aprilia??

 

no way is it the same

that bmw can lap the globe....

a harley, well it could sure... but you know, reliability etc etc

 

All my Harley’s were reliable. They only became iffy when I started changing a ton of motor stuff. Before that no probs.

 

Click on the link n it said item not found. Probably sold already

I'll hit you up when my check comes in. N u can do that wizardry to help me find a new bike

Went for a few "brisk" rides on the Street Triple and quickly found the limits of the suspension... not the commuter/track day bike I was hoping for...



Debating at this point whether to put on the market (I think I can make a little profit) and go new MT09 SP/XSR 900 or just bite the bullet and get it set up with a fully adjustable shock and forks. Spoke with a suspension guy at MRP Motorsports and he's going to send me a couple of options...

 

they call them recumbent, its great for those with back problems lol

kinda dorky looking, but hey whatever gets you out there riding

 

sell it...
it was not the bike you wanted, only the price you wanted.

 

Frustrating because I really like everything else about it!

We'll see. If I can get a nice suspension setup and still come in well under the cost of new? Hmmm, that'd be a tough decision.
