Before you buy anything, get an insurance quote first. Even if you aren't licensed, tell them you are just to get an idea. You don't want to be that guy/gal who buys a bike only to find out insurance is astronomical.

Meanwhile, this guy did the same trip on a basically stock Ducati 998, then continued on for another 80,000 km's so far: https://rocket-garage.blogspot.com/2019/12/the-boomerang-998-around-world.html

Ken is the only mechanic I trust for anything I don't want to do myself. If it's an exhaust that's designed specifically for your bike, you might want to consider installing it yourself. It's probably one of the simplest DIY projects. A slip-on is literally unbolting your stock muffler and...

I can tell you with 100% certainty that the 89 GSX-R 750 RK didn't come with inverted forks. It also didn't have a dry clutch - that was the 1986 Limited (GSX-R 750 R). I'm an RK freak, having owned one previously.

Nope, the 89 RR's (technically RK's) came with normal forks. The Canadian 1990 regular production GSXR 750's were the first to get inverted forks. US market got standard forks for some reason, so when you look at pics of a 90, you will see both forks. Probably something to do with NHTSA.

I just noticed at the top of their page that it says: "Free US & Canadian Shipping, USPS Priority 2 to 3 days, Canada, time depends on your customs people, for orders over $99.90" Pretty rare for a US company to ship to Canada at no cost, and with USPS to boot (meaning lower likelihood of...

Insurance cost may sway you one way or the other between the -07 and -09. But a supermoto should be about half, and even more fun. Plus if you want to go off-roading, all you need is a second set of wheels/tires.

Great show. One of the few my whole family enjoys.

The Pirelli app monitors your lean angle as you ride. A couple of the guys in one of my groups like to compare at stops. Don't know how accurate, but certainly entertaining.

I was offered the 12 month option when I was with them a couple years ago.

If the response from DNA is to be believed (that the FBI requires them not to comment), then that's not surprising.

I'll bet this is exactly what the people who infected everyone else thought.

If you're looking from something on the budget side, I've had this Hyken full mesh fabric chair from Staples for 2.5 years, which occasionally goes on sale for about $150 or less. It only has 3 locked tilt positions, or unlock it and have it recline based on your weight vs. adjustable spring...

Marketing Matters.

I remember that day. I was lucky enough to be behind him for a few laps, taking in the glorious sound of the exhaust!

Except that they filmed the movie with a 996

LOL. OP wants a bike to do 30-60 minute rips. Why is anyone surprised that people are recommending ADV bikes?

Yup, best to contact an insurer. Better yet multiple insurers.

OP, what are your reasons for wanting a naked bike? There's a big difference between wanting to do it just because you can vs. needing to do it because either your body or wallet can't handle it anymore. In the latter case, there's really no choice.
