goddamnedtwisto posted:I find that kind of tank profile less ball-crushing than a more tapered one - it makes it easier to grip the tank so you're less likely to slide forwards, and also the top of the tank hits your stomach if you do, rather than providing a nice gradual vice between tank and pelvis. Yeah this. Skinny tanks like on ducatis and old Hondas are great for hanging off but when it comes to comfort, give me a big Gixxer style crotch bulge every time.

Reminds me of sitting on an RC390 earlier this month -- felt like there was no tank between my legs.

i love nearly everything about the Hawk GT but yeah that long skinny tank is one hell of a nutbuster. it's particularly bad when you have someone on the back sliding you forwards. definitely not a date bike

Just ride around everywhere constantly hanging off the side, I don't see the problem. It's always gonna hang to one side anyway, may as well embrace it.

Or, are your arms really short? I find there is plenty of room and comfort if you sit back a little. Or maybe I'm just a ken doll. My problem is the end of the tank is squared off, which puts corners into my legs.

I got gas on my balls from doing too many wheelies on an xl250 with a full tank once. Very much not recommended. That’s my Honda balls story, thanks for listening.

That's nothing, the local Kawasaki franchise is sharing a dealer with the only Ducati dealer in town. If it weren't for the sign, you wouldn't have any idea they sell green bikes there because it's all red bikes three rows deep from the glass, you sometimes see a zx10 that somehow got mis-filed with the panigales in front.

Our local dealer sold Ducati’s and Suzuki’s. The Suzuki’s were never in the window and never got advertised at all. One of their sales reps told me the sale rate for Suzuki’s compared to Ducati’s was like 30:1 so despite pushing Ducati, Suzuki paid the bills. Then they shut down because the owner was involved in some shady dealings and I guess it was either liquidate the dealership or get his kneecaps busted?

This is how literally every Ducati dealer closes, it's like a tradition. I'm not convinced it's even possible to make money selling them.

The Duc license in our city has bounced around like five dealers since I started riding, and killed one and a half of them The first shop was independent, I bought my first pair of gloves there, they died The second shop was also independent, they didn't die and they still mainly work on Ducs and sell used ones The third shop was the big local Harley dealer, which I can only think, "one lifestyle brand masquerading as a v-twin motorcycle manufacturer is working for us, why not two?" They didn't die, but the license skipped to The second-largest non Harley dealer in town. They had one location that sold Yamaha and Kawi, another that just dealt in quads and Can Ams. The Japanese-bike operation moved to a big new shop along with the Duc license... and that closed within a couple years. The old store is now a library, and The other location still sells only quads and Can Ams. Now the largest dealer in town has it. I don't think it'll kill them when it goes cause they sell drat near everything that's not Honda, Harley or Indian, but I feel bad for whoever gets the license from them.

My local Kawasaki dealer has a few vintage triples by the door that I love to ogle, an H2R in one corner, a stack of H2s, a boatload of Z900RSs, and two sad Hondas in the back. I refuse to buy anything from them though because the dealer pissed me off by admitting he hoards W800s at home as part of a lovely attempt to sell me one

When I was brand new to riding, I went to the local dealership (which only sold Harleys and Hondas) and told them I was new and was interested in the CBR250. The salesman immediately said "that's a girl's bike, let me show you the 600s" I have never considered purchasing from a dealership since
