Oh no, someone wheelied their motorcycle! What a horrible thing.... :lmao: My R6 with 67,000 km has done like 5000+ wheelies.... No damage whatsoever because I brought it down nice and softly. Maybe the gearing was changed for acceleration, which is more useful than top speed? I geared my R6...

I was dreaming about a KTM 690 Enduro R, so I went and got one.

You can clutch wheelie on any 600 in second.

Get some miles under your belt before you go out with a group of experienced riders. Most experienced riders don't want a noobie behind them, nor putting along in front of them. Find a friend who really knows how to ride and ask him/her to teach you some stuff. Dont ever try to keep up with...

220 for insurance on my R6 (it was 90 previously), 93 for my 690. I pay 56 a month for a 2 seat convertible. Insurance is getting pretty outrageous on sport bikes... Also wanted to get back to the dirt a bit. @Mudmojo - Thanks for all of the info!

Please explain these dongles, I haven't yet had the bike delivered to my house yet. I would like to know in detail so I can change the modes when it finally comes home sometime next week. I know ABS can be fully disabled by the push of a button. Keeping it on the front wheel would be good for...

I will be sure to report back as soon as I put some miles on it, after the get the bike delivered.

Get a KTM 690 Enduro R

If your loan on the current bike is open ended, pay the damn thing off asap. 10% isn't crazy high for someone who has a poor credit rating. My first car (used) was 24% 2 years. Open ended. I paid it off after a year, now I can buy a 60 G car and get 0.99%. Make sure you pay your bills, keep the...

So, I've sold my '02 R6 that I've had forever, just took the dive and got a 2016 KTM 690 Enduro R. It's just getting ready at the dealer. I've ridden dirtbikes since I was young, but I just want to hear other people's experiences walking away from SS bikes. Did you ever go back? Also, what are...

This FZ-10 will be a freakin' wheelie machine, can't wait to get it. Never riding a sport bike on the road again after I get one of these bad boys (if they ever bring it to Canada). Only reason I couldn't spend the money on a FZ-09 was the absolute garbage suspension that's soft as butter...

FI is better at high altitude, in extreme weather and is better for emissions standards (more accurate). The trade off is one is cheap to fix and mechanical, the other is expensive to fix and electronic. No big difference on older R6's, FI or carb.. They all perform roughly the same. You can...

:lmao: Beautiful.

SV 650, don't go to state farm because they charge by CC. Go to a company that goes by what type of bike it is. Nothing really has the same power and handling as an SS bike, with low insurance. Try the FZ-07 or FZ-09. There are many bikes to choose from. Find ones you like the look of, ask...

Carbs don't suck lol. Why do so many people think that..? I have an '02 R6. 65,000 km's. She runs strong as hell, starts in the cold with no issues. Carbs require a wee bit more maintenance, which to some people is a "fun" thing to do. They are excellent bikes, they are much more aggressive...

The only time the group I'm part of had a guy go down... We all went to the hospital with him. Stayed for hours and made sure his family knew. It was his first time riding with us as well. Not all groups with sportbike riders are bad. Check out TTSR on meetup.com. No nonsense, all friends, good...

Wow, you're such a great guy, helping people to make money. Congrats bud! :lmao:

It's still homo

You need to kick the btch off you bike if she needs handles..... Left hand on pillion seat strap, right hand thumb locked in your right jacket pocket. Pulls hand out and places on tank for hard braking if necessary. I wheelie 2 up with my old lady like this. No complaints ever, only smiles. If...
