Dead? Getting smaller? I thought KTM being bought out by an absolute giant (Bajaj) over a week ago was old news everyone is aware of at this point... I don't understand where your post is coming from... Which one of the two of us is missing something? haha

I've never been a Husqvarna fan, but when Studio Cycle offers to let you borrow a new Svartpilen 801 for four days, you don't stop to ask questions. Within the first few car lengths I was filtering between lanes. At 400-420 lbs wet, it feel like it weighs nothing. I was determined to take the...

Not much of a deal but good starting price for negotiating down. Edit: I guess the title is "reasonably priced" so, yeah, my bad, fair enough, it's reasonable... I wouldn't pay it... but reasonable :) I sold my 2009 last year for $5,500 with a new set of tires, and I think 10k km, for $5,500...

Ok. As long as you measured the part under the existing grips, and not the parts in between which may be thicker. Then you can go ahead and order the 1.086" grips and let us know how it works out.

Doubt your S40 uses 1" grips if it's on the original handlebar. Should be 7/8" grips. If your bars are original, best to ask on a Suzuki S40 group to double check... my assumption is 7/8".

Right? I wish I had a dad who rode motorcycles and had shop space that he let me use. I don't even have a dad who rides motorcycles and has a shop. I don't even have a dad who rides motorcycles. I don't even have a dad. OP, if you really can't indulge your dad the freedom to leave his...

Yep. All depends on what you need that day. Sometimes you just need the wind and the sound and the vibration and the speed. Sometimes you just need the trees and the ground and the being far from people. You don't put gauze on a headache and you don't put advil on an open wound. Different...

Saturday and Sunday were off and on rain all day here in the city.

On a scooter you can put stuff in the under seat storage, close the seat, and **** yourself. I got it open by taking the bus home, getting my spare key, and going all the way back to my bike.... Broke student, couldn't afford taxis. Took almost two hours.

Psst... You don't go for the ride while it's raining. You go before its going to rain, so when you get caught in it, you're already on the way home, so it's no big deal.

Yesterday I rode home in the rain from Studio Cycle on a brand new 2025 Husqvarna Svartpilen 801. Didn't even have any rain gear with me. Just a guy happy as a pig in **** to be exploring and testing a motorcycle he's never had the chance to ride before. I was seeing what it can do, how it...

The more you like riding, the more you ride. The less you like riding, the more you stay inside and write on the internet all of the lies you tell yourself "reasons" why can't be riding.

Pizza Pizza has way bigger market share than Maestro Lorenzo di Latte di Bufala, who studied the pizza arts for 26 years before opening his own humble pizzeria in a small quiet neighborhood in Etobicoke. Guess which pizza tastes five days old and like it's made from the cheapest sourced...

The swing out ramp extension is a great idea! As for those bars no, I hate them, I think they're a big part of why it feels so dumb handling. But replacing them means replacing cables and brake lines or having it look messy so I'm procrastinating for the moment because it's my busy season 😬

If anybody wants to see another example of why my Sportster is dumb, go to 5:42 in the video: Literally turns what should be a really easy and quick motorcycle to work on into a PITA to work on when I have to bring a board out every time I want to get this thing on to my lift. Seriously...

You got me beat by a mile. That's about how many tires I'll change all season.

Good question, but don't forget some of the diehard, bleed orange purist types might start looking elsewhere before they had their bike made by either. Look at how many Harley guys started taking up Victory when the MoCo started screwing over long time dealers, and then later switched to...

Dear Manufacturers, Are you watching? Are you seeing? Are you taking notes? Are you considering, you know, maybe not being dumb? Sincerely, - Motorcycle Enthusiasts

Used the Rabaconda again yesterday and decided to time it. 12-13 year old Kawasaki Ninja 300 with 20,000 km and the original rear tire. Was the tire squared off and hard as ****? You bet your sweet brown hole it was. From jacking it up to lowering it back down took a total of about 1 hr and 15...

Read the rest of the ad: It's a normal thing. When I was working for a couple of the motorcycle manufacturers we would have to a) Send in a sample vehicle to be tested for compliance when we wanted to bring a new vehicle into the country or b) Sometimes be randomly asked to supply a vehicle...
