I ride an EXC with is technically a dual sport although it's close to a track bike than a street machine. I've been considering getting an adventure bike but haven't quite decided between it or a side by side. One of these days I'll make a decision. I'm assuming that's the 790 Adventure. Totally sweet bike.

A colleague has an electric motorcycle, some brand from India. Parks it, pulls the battery, carries it into his office, plugs it into a wall socket. I floated the idea by the wife... "Are you going to sell your motorcycle?" Heck, no! Sheesh. Just want another one.You're actually pretty funny when you aren't being a complete a-hole....so basically like 5% of the time. --Art Vandelay

The old N+1 formula. How many bikes are enough? N+1, where N=current bikes.

I'm surprised anybody here would recognize that bike. It's the 790R with the more advanced suspension. They're still in short supply and high demand. I didn't think I could get one until next summer, but the local dealer got a few extra ones in that they didn't expect. I was surprised when they called me to tell me my bike was here. Great Christmas present.Originally posted by Shaka View PostI'm assuming that's the 790 Adventure. Totally sweet bike.

Might be time to look at an electric motorcycle. Zero is the most common, and a pet of their pitch is no, shifting, vibration, or noise. I have seen a few out on the road.
H-D makes one as well, but I don’t know much about it.

I came across a listing for a Kawasaki Vulcan Custom that had been stolen, had the ignitiion cut out be the thieves, recovered, and dumped on its side in a low speed tip over so the tank and pipes were dented. The bike was recovered before an insurance claim was filed so the title is still normal. I went to check it out and once I deteremined the engine wasn't siezed I offered $1000. The guy took the offer and I've spent the last several months restoring. The last thing I need to do is respray the tank as I sanded through the clear coat the first go-round. My thousand dollar bike is now worth four times that and runs like a dream. Fun project.
