Hes got 3 Aprilia rsv, and a tuono (all early to mid 2000's, Rotax engine v-twins). All crashed, but lots of parts. Likely enough to make a streetbike, and a trackbike with spares. Tempting... Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

https://www.facebook.com/share/1AHtRtNkob/ $5500 for an fj09 Can't say its an amazing price, but its reasonable. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

Did that once, during the "Cafe racer" craze back in 2012 or so. 1978 cb750ss. My problem was, once it was fixed, I was trying to ride it like a modern bike... spaghetti frame. Thin tires. I was scraping the wolf 4-1 exhaust around corners. Bike had to go, before I wrecked it. Sent from my...

I'd argue the opposite. "Its the road that makes the riding fun". The twistier the better. I will agree that cutting through traffic on a small bike is fun. My wr250x is great for this. I'm lucky enough to live outside of the city... I hate heavily congested traffic. As for the Bonneville...

Tire #2 spooned on. Ac-10. Reviews aren't great, but it was a freebie. I'm running out of bike maintenance to keep me busy! Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

Why didn't I think of that! Bikes can make local commuting more fun, don't get me wrong. But, in the summer, riding 3 hours north; Bala, Southwood, Kinmount, 507, 503, Glamorgan Rd, 118, 648, back through Algonquin, and home... its a good ride, but its an all day affair for a few excellent...

That's different. That's like me saying "I don't mind commuting in my truck; its the same old roads, but I like my truck..." Commuting isn't the same Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

True. Change your type of riding. Dual sport and dirtbiking has become my go-to. I can get out in the gnarly stuff for a couple hours and not feel guilty. Thursday Steeles and Financial Dr. For group rides. Hopefully the Dragon again this summer. Buddies are talking about a 9 hr drive to...

Ktm 500exc-f with two sets of rims? Honda crf450rl with two sets of rims? (Offroad and supermoto) The new Stark Varg EX? @ $18,000!!! Nope... Perhaps just throw a few parts at what I've got, and enjoy them as much as I can. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

I always felt that if I didn't do 10,000km a season, that I didn't ride enough to justify the insurance. Then the kids came. Now I might get half that, spread between multiple bikes. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

There's no way that thing has 87,000km on it. Likely 8,700km Its a mediocre learner bike, but its disposable, and won't depreciate in value any more than it already has. Excellent first bike. I see why it didn't sell at $1,750 It'll be gone shortly. Hopefully someone on here scoops it up...

It all counts, If its got an engine. Surprised you'd stud up a cb350. A set of studded tires on the klx would be fun. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

Klr650 Klx250 Cb750f And? What else? For me, trackbike would be a nice addition, but would mostly sit unused. I might just track the street triple, and maybe my wr250x on a short track/go-kart track. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

You and me both... 500 is a handful in single track, and a buzzy animal on the road. 350 exc-f is better. N+1 Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

I don't often buy new. (Only had one brand new bike). I search for neglected or forgotten bikes, fix, ride, sell, repeat. Lost money on the brand new one. Sold it to GP Bikes during Covid. Did better than I expected. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

I get it. I felt the same in my 20s. Now? If what I have is 80% of what I want, I'll mod it to make it suit me better, and keep it long term. Perhaps I should be more like Macdoc. List it and forget about the listing. If it sells for what I want, its gone. If not, I'm still enjoying it. My...

The precursor to the rsv mille/ rsv1000r Looks like a clean example. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

It should. Your situation was on my mind when I started this thread. You don't limit this to bikes. You do this with cars & utility trailers. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

Nice. Seems you've found something that (currently) ticks all your boxes. Needs and wants change. Take @MacDoc for example. Older perhaps leads to smaller more manageable bikes. Or @Wingboy going to a Ural. I'm not a cruiser or touring bike guy. I've had big sportbikes, nakeds, dualsports...

Yeah. You had the fz07 for quite a while. Didn't you and your husband buy 2 tw200? From what I recall, that didn't last long. I had one of those for a second bike. I did 16,000km of street and some light trail riding on one. Bought it because it was "a good deal"! Sent from my SM-G960W using...
