MT9 or 700 Tenere, down to those two ... today anyway.
You see the size of that seat!?!?!its funny because you gave someone on Bikeland some advice about getting into ride shape for those DG events via a bicycle many years ago. Harry & Chris might have barbed you about riding sans a seat ...lol
You slurring bitch, that's just plain wrong!You see the size of that seat!?!?!
He needs that after the barbing Otis and Harry gave him!![]()
That's wisdom shining through....with age i'm proning ergos , handling and lower weight..
Funny because my 950adventure and my FJR1300 are both very comfy. And very capable. I am spoiled by the FJRs cruise control, heated grips, power adjustable windscreen, traction control, antilock brakes and the bags I can tuck a weeks worth of groceries into. Loaned it to one of my friends so we could go for a ride (his BMW had a dead battery) and two weeks later he sold the BMW and bought a second Gen FJR.That's wisdom shining through....![]()
That's the ONE thing my C14 needs, cruise control! It's a '14 model so it has TC, ABS, heated grips and electric screen. I feel just like you do towards your FJR. I did that Smoky Mountain trip on it last fall, and it's just a well rounded machine. It hides its weight very well once it is rolling, and handles well even when riding 2-up with luggage. It's silky smooth going down the highway, very comfortable too. I've got risers, a touring seat, and a puig touring screen. It fits me well.Funny because my 950adventure and my FJR1300 are both very comfy. And very capable.

I upgraded the windscreen and want to do a Laam seat. The reach is perfect (and I can adjust them forward or backward by one step) but yeah. Silky smooth and surprisingly fast. I had the ecu reflash by Ivan’s and it woke it up in 1st, 2nd, and Fifth gears and eliminated the restrictions on the cruise control. (The 13 model year was limited to 80mph in cruise control) I can set it and forget it at 100mph if I want.That's the ONE thing my C14 needs, cruise control!

I very much considered the FJR, it's a great bike.I upgraded the windscreen and want to do a Laam seat. The reach is perfect (and I can adjust them forward or backward by one step) but yeah.

I've seen aftermarket automotive cruise controls Obama Rigged onto motorcycles.That's the ONE thing my C14 needs, cruise control! It's a '14 model so it has TC, ABS, heated grips and electric screen.

I had the Throttlemeister on my BusaI've seen aftermarket automotive cruise controls Obama Rigged onto motorcycles.
Those are nice and simple. Amazing how many people were too stupid to set them up properly. They are not very adaptive to hills, either up or down.I had the Throttlemeister on my Busa
suprised they stopped making them... the throttle rocker was pretty cool for $10Those are nice and simple. Amazing how many people were too stupid to set them up properly. They are not very adaptive to hills, either up or down.
Most likely because are so fucking stupid, someone had one, crashed into something and sued the shit out them. The Breakaway set up was pretty good, when adjusted properly.suprised they stopped making them... the throttle rocker was pretty cool for $10
Me too, McCruise makes an electronic one specifically for the C14. About $1k, and the only one I'd go with.I've seen aftermarket automotive cruise controls Obama Rigged onto motorcycles.
That's what I have on the C14 now, works well enough, but once you've had a bike with legit cruise control you sort of are like meh.. about it....I had the Throttlemeister on my Busa
Once you learn to use it in the flats, it does allow some rest time.Those are nice and simple. Amazing how many people were too stupid to set them up properly. They are not very adaptive to hills, either up or down.
If you have a busa with a fast idle lever you can make it into a cruise control. Mine would cruise at 90.I had the Throttlemeister on my Busa
YepIs nice for cross country rides. Just gotta watch your speed on hills.
Did that before I got the meister.If you have a busa with a fast idle lever you can make it into a cruise control. Mine would cruise at 90.
My Ducati has a set up like that. It's a little button on the throttle housing.If you have a busa with a fast idle lever you can make it into a cruise control. Mine would cruise at 90.
Fuck helmet laws Tom.There are a number of helmets in that pic..I keep my full face in it’s dry bag..Some are expensive..
I'd like to ride one of those for sure. Different tune than the MT?Long haul comfort and fun in the mountains. Light and agile. Engine is brilliant.......smooth and torquey. Stock seat and screen were crap but easily replaced. Has ABS, TC, electronic cruise control, heated grips and a quick shifter. Really enjoying this one.

Hey fuck stick, I thought we agreed what happens at WaWa stays at WaWa!you liked when I tricycled you up to the wawa
Try a Kuberg...they are a hoot!Like Vinny, I'd like some sort of electric trail bike. In theory, anyway. I've never actually ridden one. I've been dirtbikeless for 15 years now. Want to get back into it.
Fuck those shit piles, I've dealt with one.....who among us hasn't lusted over one of these bad boys? MC will have wet dreams tonight ..

YXZ1000R --- 80mph speed limiter and I can hit that in 4wd on a dirt road with 3ft whoops. It's crazy what these things will do. And if it not fast enough for you they have a turbo kit that pretty much doubles the hp. Fits in my 19' toy box no problem. Just be prepared to spend about $20k for a new one and then another $2k for all the crap you are going to want to do to it.I am getting the hankering for a side by side, UTV, whatever the cool kids are calling them right now. I'd like it to be fast enough to scare me, but also go over bumps well and not cost me too much. It's also got to fit in the Gartel. That's a lot of want.
I wouldnt mind trying one of these for a day.Long haul comfort and fun in the mountains. Light and agile. Engine is brilliant.......smooth and torquey.
