I might come out on Sunday. Was in North Carolina this week (Charlotte - Greensboro - Raleigh - Fayetteville) and saw way too many guys out enjoying their bikes so feeling a tad envious.

You never have to wait at the intersection for someone whose riding pillion.half the reason I was there was to test out pillion seats and passenger ergonomics, she liked most of them, but was raving about the goldwing seat

Speaking of comfortable seats, I sat on the CF Moto IBEX 800. Omg. That seat was the most comfortable one I’ve ever sat on.
Imagine that!

YES, I was going to start a thread about that bike. Just as I was leaving I noticed the bike and also did a sit test. Wow, like totally comfortable and perfect rider position. You get a lot of bike for the price as well.
All I've been doing over the weekend is researching this bike, as I was impressed by it. They have a dealer in Vaughn, and Oakville. So no place near me. Pricing seems to include most of the options. From what I found out this company is engine supplier for KTM, and other brands, now started to supply their own bikes. This it uses the KTM 790 engine, the one with the camshaft issues. Though they didn't make those failed engines, I'm not 100% sure the design flaw is now fixed. Something about that has swayed my interest.
Are you moving on from the Vstrom?

Thinking about it.
What are you looking for in your next bike as a change from the Strom?

Yes this is the answer!
African Twin!
That bike has all the things, and looks amazing. Plus being Honda can match reliability, but not as bland.

Yup. KTM 990 RC R on order. The tech pack and a bit off the top were the incentives.
*the engine map is a bit of a misnomer. It's throttle response, not engine tune.
