Re: Cycle whore thread
I have been into the more street fighter kind of look for years, so it's nice to see some factory built "fighters".
With that model, I was surprised at just how comfortable they were, for hours on end. The touring bars, and a little bit more of an upright(not quite cruiser, not quite jokey)riding position was super comfy.

That Duc is sexy and it knows it.
You did alright though. And, far easier to fix/work on, and less expensive in the long run.
Nothing against Ducati, I love 'em, but when I hear El talk about his not running right because it's too cool outside or something, I am like FUCK that shit.

Yeah, I plan on keeping it for a long time too... so that helps.
One day I'll add a Ducati as a weekend ride and just use the Ninja as the commuter.

As I have gotten older, on-off road bikes have really started to grow on me as far as a daily goes. Would really like a BMW Roadster, or Enduro type bike. BMW F800 GS.

Mine is doing that because it has the original battery in it... Erm, did.
That'll be my latest purchase whenever the lady gets her first pay check. New battery and possibly a rectifier
Gel battery is rated to 35 Celsius BELOW. This factory battery might have worked 10 years ago, but today is just giving me head aches.
I may need to set up a "help me pay for a Ducati full exhaust, Ecu, and tune!" fund.
Also, screw the 800gs tat. Get the 1200 with the enduro tank and a Leo Vince full. Scary how nimble that bastard is. The horizontal headers just perfectly tips the bike over. No issues. Just ease.
Highly recommend that if you are looking at an on/off.
Multistrada also comes highly rated and loved.
You guys just have to remember when I am complaining about my bike, that it was built almost a decade ago. I'll love her forever <3
