Apparently there will be at least one more R1. They sold a fair amount of the last generation but the performance of their competitors have really left them in the dust. To be honest, I found the latest gen R1 to be compact and pretty easy to ride at a 7/10ths pace which is all I'd want one...

Useful at Mosport. Set to 300kph, brake for a corner now and then, resume.

Not accused. Paul is a personal friend of mine and I've known this bike back into the early 2010s. I even have video of this bike on track from 2012 when he crashed it on turn 11 at Shannonville right in front of me. The wheels were done because of the damage (that's Paul in the one-piece...

I think you guys saying it's not illegal should consider that they put a new dash on this bike so that the original mileage around 100K was reduced to 30K. That's a straight-up scam and remains illegal.

My RSV4 does that in 1st gear. Literally.

This bike probably has valvetrain problems. At the very least it has a bad camchain tensioner. It's been crashed a couple of times (at least once on Shannonville) and has been tracked probably a dozen times with Paul. Paul sold it as-is with the understanding that the bike may come unglued...

This is my friend Paul's bike and it's been for sale by three different people (maybe a scammer crew) since he sold it for $1500 a couple of weeks ago. They put a slip-on, a new dash and what looks to be an aftermarket key on it - possible that it was actually stolen and is being sold by the...

The area's been hit that hard at least twice in the last 20 years. But I'm probably abandoning the area, sadly, after all that time. The number of high horsepower cars on that road taking chances with their lives and those around them have vastly increased. And while it seems like "Max Wrist"...

I'm amazed by it. Would love to ride one on track. Like many people, I'm done with full-on superbikes on the road. The Super Duke may not be as quick but it's more fun.

This is what they do in Europe, which supposedly we've "copied." Only, of course, we didn't put in the warning signs. As for 30kph, sure let's limit all travel to 30kph. Great idea. People will survive, but then again people won't be able to get anywhere and will have blood pressure like a...

I am hoping that the public destroys every one they find. Sorry, not sorry.

RIP. I'll remember him this way, and puttering around his pit cleaning his tools. Always ready with good advice.

La Trappe Quadruppel is in the LCBO in downtown Kingston right now. Fantastic. Better than Mons Quadruppel I buy when I'm in Quebec.

The 790 is built somewhere other than Austria. I wonder why Triumph is doing the same but not having the same sort of issues? In any case, yeah I know of some 390s grenading at the track too.

:( What a nightmare, and no fault of their own. This has been a bad year for MC accidents. RIP

No worries, all is well. I got both K&N and KTM just to compare them. And we'll see if this rear seat bag works as well as I hope.

I don't think so... but am willing to be corrected. "In 2007, Indian motorcycle manufacturer Bajaj Auto bought a 14.5% stake in KTM Power Sports AG. By 2013, Bajaj Auto held a 47.97% interest in the company."

I wouldn't buy a KTM made in India. I'm OK with the ones made in Austria.

I'm using the OEM filters because I don't want KTM to be able to deny me any warranty (or my extended one) if something does go wrong. Keeping the receipts, too.

Thanks for finding that. Surprisingly I just found everything I need on Amazon including the Motorex Power Synt 4T that the manual calls for. So I'm good. Thanks. Not sure why Amazon has 4 options easy to find ... I suppose I should have tried there first and saved myself a whole lot of time.
