Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Thank you for all that excellent info! I drool over all the bikes, but the Super Tenere just doesn't have the same kind of exposure as so many others. In a few years, when I might be in the market for more bike than the CB500X, I'll have to keep it in mind.

 

Honestly not sure why, maybe cus it just doesnt win in any category vs other offerings so it never made any headlines. I like it it does everything I need and then some.

 

Install complete. Sounds so much better, I'm stoked! Considering removing the dB killers that came installed in the mufflers though.

 

I use a 15"x15" with 2" holes net, hasn't failed me yet and stretches surprisingly large. I used it to carry a gallon of paint on the passenger seat a few days ago.

Look into a Super Ten forum and you're likely to get your questions answered. I know several FJR owners who also own a Super Ten or have migrated to it full time. I know of one in the Barber Museum that belonged to Paul Pelland and is the only bike on display that still has payments owed on it. Google Paul Pelland to learn more about him. I know him and will tell you he's the real deal.

 

This happened on my way home from mural hunting today.



Picked this bike up on 9/27/2019 with 7566 showing on the odometer. It's finally getting broken in.

 

I use the same one, came in a 2 pack. 1 for the motorcycle and 1 for the ebike.

 

Just fumbling around looking at bikes (not shopping) and I stumbled across something I never knew existed. Anyone here ever hear of the Honda Goldwing Valkyrie?




Oh. My. Goodness.... Probably the sexiest cruiser I've ever seen. I love it. It's way too big and I'll never have it, but my gosh. I may need a tissue... or two...

 

Have only seen the older bodystyle ones around here. I think those are F6Cs. My husband had an F6B Goldwing, basically a normal goldwing with the chopped tail. Honda makes some comfy assed bikes fwiw.

 

Those were from around 2014 I think, but what I am seeing it doesn't look like they sold well. Heavy as hell, gorgeous, and not crazy priced on cycletrader. If I ever want a gigantic cruiser I would have to consider it. Honestly, it looks kinda like a fatter version of your Ducati.

 

You watch your whore mouth.


We went for a ride today up to hub’s property, temp and weather was perfect. Grass is a smidge overgrown.

 

Seriously, though. Take the Diavel, breed it with the Goldwing, and voila! You get the Goldwing Valkyrie.

 

Not far off.
Cant stand the facelifted Diavel, looks like an obese Monster.

 

Did they change it after the one you got?

 

Yup, the new ones were already trickling to the dealers when I went to pick mine up. ‘22 was the last year of the priors.

 

I thought yours was a '23. Shows what I don't know. LOL

 

Seeking gravel,

Scorpion Rally STR's on the 300.

 

You are trying to get me to buy a 300 aren’t you!?

 

Nah, you should get a CB500X and build your own.

Nah! It's a sheep in wolves clothing kind of look. It's a pretty good look though if I do say so myself. I think it'll handle the 3 miles of dirt road I have to ride down to and from my house better than whatever the hell the stock tires were.













It is a fun little bike though. I wouldn't advise you not to get one
