I’m really struggling to come up with a do it all bike that competes with my vfr (that I got new for $8000). It has every feature I think I would need: traction control, anti-lock brakes, heated hand grips, self-canceling turn signals, the aforementioned center stand, luggage, fully adjustable suspension, VTEC The new imu cornering abs does seem cool though Maybe I need a gold wing next

Should I order the quick shift for my vfr if I can find one? What does a quick shift do really

I think it only works on upshifts and I already do those pretty easy one handed. I ride one handed most of the time so if it worked downshifting I would be into it for sure

Or you just do it all sloppy and jerky like me most of the time

interestingly my local gas station is one of the few in the state that offers ethanol free gas but apparently you aren't allowed to use it on the street due to lack of oxygen? content??

They aren’t too intrusive on the vfr, in fact when I’m lazy I don’t even use the rear brake pedal cause I tell myself giving lots of front will activate the back brake. The rear brake has a really aggro abs on it but I’ve never activated it from the front

If you’re in Cali I think the chp also offers a weekend course like that

hmm I've never owned a suzuki... the katana would look pretty sick alongside the VFR

I don't know but my old honda had that and I killed more than one battery. Learn to park facing down hill and how to bump start your bike haha

Can you not straddle it and reach down

Seconding bike pumps for at home. But also it depends on the pump. I have one that’s great for presta but just releases the shrader air and is basically useless for moto usage My noob question is how often should I check my tire levels on a trip. Every day probably right

for the vfr - i kinda fully stand on it while lifting a bit

keep your knuckles pointed at the sky at zero throttle. at full throttle your wrist and forearm should be fully twisted down and it should be slightly uncomfortable

anyone have a camera on their bike? it might be fun to record some of my rides. i've seen gimballed videos that look really sweet too
