Yeah, I'm quite taken with it. Beautifully finished and a real treat to ride. Though heavy, the side cases are really useful as they are top loaded. If I were to go on an extended trip I'd (grudgingly) put the top case back on. It doesn't interfere with getting on too much, but dismounting can...

Well then 12 of us now, though I lean more to the unserious side. I bought a 22 V85TT with under 6k from Adam at Studio Cycle in July. Has some extended warranty left, centre stand, heated grips, and a full set of metal cases which are excellent but heavy. I removed the top case because I HATE...

Private group. Can't see anything.

Good idea about taking the rear wheel off yourself. I'll do the same with my 74 Norton Commando as my local garage will have no clue how to do it. With nearly every turn of a wrench I realize why the British MC industry expired.

Costs: The event is free Route sheets are provided and overnight camping is available. A nice one-day event, relatively local to the GTA (Bethany) and taking place in early fall so nice riding temperatures and some colour in the trees. A nice opportunity to take a ride on an oldish/older/old...

Toronto's growth in non-permeable surface over the last 20+ years has led to the overwhelmed system they suffer through now when a powerful rain event occurs. To improve the system would require billions of dollars and years of invasive construction on streets and in public spaces, plus a...

Perhaps look at one of the multitude of low-mile slightly used ones out there.

Or leave the luggage on, pack some stuff, ride a few hundred km's away, explore a bit and ride even more curvy roads, ride home and pick up groceries on the way.:)

Since nobody else is willing to say it, I will: THIS IS A STUPID IDEA OF EPIC PROPORTIONS. Which is all the reason, someone with AMPLE experience would do it. You admit to having NO experience with such a venture. It's a bad enough idea to truck the bike to NF and go ride the trail ALONE...

Precisely. Tooling around the backroads north of Kingston, it was absolutely in it's natural habitat.

I've spent 4hrs. strait in the saddle riding home from a cottage, stopping for gas without dismounting. It's comfy even with the stock seat and gets good range from a tank.

I'm chronic shopper. Studio Cycle had this 2022 v85tt with low km, full luggage set, heated grips, centre stand, cruise and some warranty left for sale so I decided to go look at it. I've wanted one since they came out. Next thing I know I'm putting a deposit on it, without having sold my...

That is hilarious. Is there even $100 worth of junk there?

Honestly, for the money they'll ask for that PanAm derived sport bike I'd rather have this. I find this thing and the storz street trackers to be the ultimate expression of a Harley, at least it's a Harley that I'd want. Expensive, raw, rare, uncomfortable, loud and completely impractical...

I prefer the looks of the old one. Its design was influenced by the XR750 and though it didn't sell well at the time it is a classic. The new one looks like it's on stilts. It's going to spend even less time off-road that the PamAm so why does it need to sit so high? In the end I don't care...

"Current generation would sooner can only afford to look at them on a phone." The smart, driven, dedicated, hard-working, entrepreneurial and fortunate ones are too busy paying down their half-million dollar mortgages to buy an expensive toy. The others can't afford it either.

"Eclectic" is the nicest word I've ever heard to describe the looks of the Madura. In all the years of slagging, I've never heard about how it performs. I always thought the original V-Max was cool looking, and the HD VROD Muscle in the same way but both are entirely impractical for my riding...

"trade for something interesting. No junk " - I think what he means is, "No MORE junk; I already have some."

Could be a repo, could be a stolen recovery, could be an insurance write-off, could be a write-off with structural damage like bent forks or damaged frame or it could actually be a good deal. I've seen lightly used V7's selling for near that amount so it's not impossible.
