Forty Two posted:I done a troll! That's awesome. Little spotters guide for you - the rider has an artificial right leg (at least). Notice the odd footrest on that side and the heat tape and padding? It's because prosthetic legs, if they end up resting on the engine, tend to melt and weld themselves to it. Backov posted:Wow, that's a pretty cool trike. What was it? Dunno - that frame member sort of looks like a first-gen CBR600 but the seat unit looks like it's off a ZZR, so maybe it's a bitsa?

I did wonder about that, maybe the owner had it converted after an accident? But, if you look closely, it's just a regular footpeg and brake. He's just had that plate fixed to the brake lever. And the wrap could just be for the looks. It is still possible that he's got a dodgy leg, but I was expecting there to be a thumb brake or something when I first saw it.

I have seen people try to do this before while marshaling, fortunately not as blatantly moronic as this special individual. We actually straight up banned a dude for doing this a few years back.

I like Jay's Garage, and this one is pretty good, couple of guys make a kit to convert a Suzuki Savage into a cafe racer. I'm not to into the look, but the concept of a kit you can bolt on is pretty cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5r6rhQiT-k

I've had two savages and I loved them. But even though that Ryca kit looks awesome, doing a cafe on a savage is kind of lame because despite being 650CCs, they're seriously top out at 80mph. I posted my old Savage bobber a little while back: front wing flexing posted:My Savage Bobber I did a couple years ago was my favorite single. I loved the sound and feel of that thumper. It was light as hell too. Stock it weighed 160kg but with all those super heavy harley style fenders front and rear I must took at least another 30kg of weight off.

Dudes in the 60's were cafe'ing BSA goldstars and usually with no engine mods, so it's pretty true to form, actually

It's just today's traffic patterns cause a need for not so much an increase top speed but acceleration. I never felt that comfortable on the freeway. That Ryca looks fantastic though.

A Proper Uppercut posted:It really, really, really pisses me off that bikes like this won't come to the US. Especially with the (relative) success that bikes like the Street Triple have had. There really isn't a market for a Z1000 with 200cc less displacement and less power in the U.S. The Z1000 is already down a fair bit on power compared to the regular liter bikes that Americans love. Also, to be fair, the Z1000 is a fantastic bike and I don't know how much they could really improve upon it with 200cc less. The ER6N/650R/Versys exists state-side for those who want a smaller, lighter bike with similar ergonomics. I'm more upset to learn Kawasaki makes these but doesn't sell them in the U.S.:

Seconding the "whoa" responses to the front clutch pack on the GS. The whole drivetrain seems to be simplified, tons of info here http://www.webbikeworld.com/BMW-motorcycles/2013-bmw-r1200gs/ (Including original press release from BMW) It's taken a few whacks of the ugly stick in order to incorporate the radiators, but you can't have it all. e: 238 kg / 524 lbs is pretty good in my opinion. e2: I hope the charging system is reliable. Looks like the stator is now a total teardown job
