Nitrox posted:Is that a three cylinder? Yeah like A MIRACLE said, XSR900 but with fairings The upper is stock with the GP version, the lower is optional for more $$$ (but is it really "optional"?) And it ain't for sale in North America. Yet. I hope. I was really hoping that ZX7R body kit some Spaniards did for the Z900RS was going to light fires under asses and get some 90s retro sportbikes going, but so far all that's happened is Kawi did the green/blue/white color scheme on their current faired bikes for the 40th anniversary of "Ninja".

Phy posted:What about the XSR versions? You pay more but you get a motorcycle that looks like a motorcycle and not like something Shockwave picked out of his belly button The XSR900 is basically a modern 3 cylinder version of my 919 so that's out, and the 700 is still over 400lbs. I was looking at those before I got the 919 though. A MIRACLE posted:Hypermotard? I'd actually been considering these, how are the older ones for reliability? There's one on marketplace with pictures of $6k in dealer work for random poo poo which isn't really confidence inspiring. I don't think those receipts are the selling point the seller thinks they are. Russian Bear posted:Get the new hyper for all of us Would love one, too new and spendy and unknown quantity/quality atm

You could probably get a brand new klx300sm for the same price. Maybe too much crossover with the 125 but I think they’re cool

That sounds pretty unusual, and a bit like the guy whose bike kept shedding its fairing every time he took it on the road.

It’s extra funny when it happens to a bike that costs more than a new Lexus and is supposed to be “the best bike available”

Ended up making a deal I couldn't resist for a one year old 890 with 1200 miles. +1 for having a trailer and being able to scoop cheap bikes immediately when spotted. Takes some of the sting out of the bath I took selling the Zero.

Is this a fake ad? https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/mcy/d/fort-bragg-2022-zero-fxe-supermoto/7739810460.html  The image doesn't show up for me on a reverse image search, and 8750 is not an unrealistically low asking price. But there's only a single picture, two lines of text, and it's the "most fun bike I've ever owned" and he's only ridden it a single time in two years? 43 miles total? What?

Just ask for the VIN and if they have the title in hand? That should tell you what kind of seller you're dealing with.

"Why are you selling it" is also a logical next question.

Just show up with the money and get ready to leave if red flags come up. But sometimes people don't give a poo poo and will sell you something real cheap for absolutely no reason. You just have to be there fast enough to grab it.

It amuses me that both of those vehicles have the same cylinder capacity but the I4 is the one that's down-tuned for torque and longevity

There's one sat in my workshop waiting for me to trace an electrical issue. Very good car and needs to be revved to the moon to 'get it'.

I'm keen to get a bike that's better for commuting than my Scrambler and fireblade, took a trip to the ducati garage today. I think a Multistrada V2S would basically be perfect except they are just not very cool. The alternative is a DesertX which just looks really awesome and I wanted to check out if it would be suitable. The garage had one to test and I took it out for a few hours. Unfortunately they don't have a multi available to test. I really liked the DesertX, it is pretty easy to handle and even quite fun on smaller roads. It's totally fine on the autoroute at 120-130kph and I think would be fine for my commute. It's super comfortable and even though it's tall I was OK with one foot on the ground. They will chuck in 1000 chf in accessories with the list price. The spanner in the works is they have an offer of 3600 chf reduction on the Multistrada this month so nearly 20% off. My heart says DesertX but my head says it's pretty dumb to ignore the bike that's better for my needs and that I could probably sell without losing money in a few years. That 950 engine that's in both bikes is great, so much punchier than the air cooled 800 in the Scrambler. What do you all think?

RightClickSaveAs posted:Do Triumphs have any maintenance gotchas? Specifically I'm looking at a 2023 tiger sport 660 a dealer has for near MSRP out the door. I hate dealers and all but swore I'd never buy from them again but this one actually gave me a price without too much dicking around. -Service manual is not available as a print version. To get access you have to subscribe for a monthly fee and it's all online with a separate web page for each item. -The maintenance reminder needs a Triumph Diagnostic Tool to reset. Looks like you can kludge it with a generic ODB connector and some software to reset the counter, I'll look into that or just see if I can bring it by the dealer and have them connect the tool if they don't charge for it, or just live with it as it's only mildly annoying as a dash indicator from what I can tell. They claim a service interval of 10,000 miles after the breakin which is pretty generous so shouldn't be a frequent thing. -Two of the engine mount bolts have a lock nut holding them in a really annoying and hard to get to channel up inside the one of the tubes in the frame, I put on the engine protectors/frame sliders which required replacing those and I finally managed it with a lot of repeated attempts, socket extenders + swivel adapters, and much swearing (with British slang because it's a Triumph), at least I shouldn't have to touch that again.  Just realized I already managed to scuff up one of the panniers
