Motorcycling Thread for MrX, Matty, and I

[Matty]

Meanwhile, Suzuki just announced a naked version of the GSX-R1000, the GSR1000.

Needs a taller windshield, otherwise

 

[Blitty]

$350 per day?

 

[Blitty]

Must have a class 6A motorcycle licence with photo.

Wonder if mine will work.

 

[Matty]

I don't have a class 6A, which is a Quebec thing. I checked with them to make sure, and as long as you hold a valid motorcycle license, you're good to go.

$350 is for the exotics. My bro is renting a Street Triple, which is $149.

 

[MrX]

$5 a day in India. You have to ride on the left side, and you have a 80% chance of dying per day, but what a deal.

 

[Matty]

The dog looks comfortable.

I bet the 7 of them weigh around the same as plommer.

Looks a lot like a VStrom on the front and middle.

 

[Saulty]

Going to look at this one next week. Looking to get a new bike.

2013 Ducati Hyperstrada

 

[Matty]

Saulty you're fired. V-Stroms are like 6 feet tall.

All the recent naked bikes look like that, especially the Japanese.

 

[Matty]

The Hyperstrada looks like a fine bike. : Would like to test-ride one.

Put the pictures together to compare.

 

[MrX]

Two wheels. Handlebars. Headlight.

Yep.

Looking forward to test drive it too. The seat height is taller than VStrom (850mm). Keep that in mind.

lol

I guess the gas tank's hump has the same kind of shape.

Oh, really? That's too much for this guy. I don't like the super-high bikes.

I sat on a Suzuki supermoto the other day (DR-Z400SM), which is the 17-inch-wheels version of the dual sport (21 front/18 rear). Loved the way it felt. Now I want an SM.

Yep.

Exhaust and radiator at same position.
