I'm probably insulated cause I feel like I could go to their warehouse and ghost ride the bike through the front door if there was a problem

So I'm doing some research on RS125 / 450 4 stroke swaps. Why the gently caress are all of these swaps filled with dumb things like this:  And poo poo like this:  Just like...seriously? You can't do the job without hacking giant bits out of the frame? We'll just grind off these welds, cut holes in the frame, cut holes in the crossbars...

I like the huge cutout for the oil fill. That's clearly the best solution to the problem.

Because most of the people doing the swaps are either morons trying to do it for as cheap as possible or morons who think they know what they are doing? Also why change out a 2-stroke that likes to blow up to a 4-stroke that likes to spew oil and blow up? My 450R did not like sustained full throttle and poured oil out of the breather at track days. Now if I could street register my RS125 I'd love a CRF250/450X swap. The R engines are amazing but I was always afraid the drat thing was going to blow up.

Yeah the wide ratio gearbox and slightly milder X engine would be ideal. That project isn't going to materialize until next year though...gotta get some other ducks in a line first.

Wife wants another supermoto. Who wants to buy a ducati? 2005 Ducati 999 Salvage title 12.5k miles Belts, air filters, spark plugs, oil, filter, etc, done at ~10k. Engine tuned by desmoto Mods: Gilles Adjusters ABM/LSL Handlebar kit Oberon Turn signals Oberon Bar end mirrors Ohlins rear shock Gilles Rearsets Speedomoto Sprocket cover Speedymoto EVO water pump cover Speedomoto crank case cover Nemesis ECU Tuned for the gutted stock exhaust Speedymoto open clutch cover Speedomoto gas cap CSC Hyperpro damper Corbin seat Speedymoto frame sliders Battery power up kit Additional set of vortex clipons that will go with the bike. There are probably more mods I'm forgetting. Currently sprung for a 140-180 pound rider, although I have the springs for a ~200-240 pound rider as well. I'm 170 pounds + gear and rode it at A group pace on the track with no issues with the current spring setup. The bad: Paint is peeling. Valves should be checked. Asking ~5k as it sits. Little bit negotiable if someone will make it easy for me, or they have a Husky 610 to trade. Will list it for more elsewhere, because trade plus cash/etc.

Bike swap! I'm going to be the new owner of the 999, and the track 675. In trade, Z3n is taking my 690SMC and RS125. And suddenly I'm a guy who owns three sport bikes, only one of them street legal.

Thanks Zool! I'm glad you'll take care of him. Just be warned: if I don't like the 690 it's getting sold for a husky and a fish tank  Also, don't crash it you squid.

In fairness, you would have never crashed if you had been riding the 999. The greater reciprocating mass of the crank would have helped you keep tracktion and the bike upright.

Hey you're the one that used that word not me. I'm going to go see the Austrian tomorrow (Helimot) to see if he can put platforms on my boots. I don't feel awesome about it but lowering SM's fucks them up in my opinion. We'll see how this goes.

Thanks to my Breton genetics I have short hobbit legs and I still manage on the stock SMC. Takes some butt-shuffling at stops but I don't have any major difficulty dealing. Chunky boots help a fair bit, but I can get by even without them.

There was a poll on SMJ a while ago, turns out most 690 owners are over 6 foot and 30 years old.

Down with 2 strokes! Up with big singles, down with little screamers! Also every charging system in the house is now fixed. Triumph, GSXR, truck. KTM awaits it's street legal rear tire, and then much hooliganism will commence. Wife is getting thicker platforms on her boots so she can comfortably get a foot down.

When selling a bike to a hipster, do you have a phrase book of the correct bullshit about "riding soul" and "spiritual feeling of bikes" that you use to close the deal? Do you need to dress up in a flannel shirt and corduroy pants?

Are you looking for developers in your lifestyle brand? I'm thinking a GoPro processing app that applies Instagram filters to the video file. It can also pull single frames based on a motion blur/beard/Ray-Bans algo and tweet them with superimposed, rotating quotes from Pirsig, Hunter S and Kanye West (mixing these quotes is part of the premium package).
