congrats! That's a sweet bike.
When I saw your "Orange Crate" at the rally, I should have bought it! I still think the 2016 is an awesome looking bike, but I love this one....I can stop smiling when I am on it.
Unlike me, it has no bad habits....
Congratulations! Based on some of your prior comments, I would have expected a BMW in your future. Have a blast!
The BMW F750 has been delayed again. Q4 now. Dont know if there is a problem with the Chineese engine or ? but I expect that the cost of the finished product to be $14,000 or more like the Triumph. If I cant live without one, I will buy that too!
Enjoy, Chris! You need to ride it to Spearfish, so we can all see it.
No, I dont think I will. Will probably take the NT or if that breaks again, the FJR. This here is my day trip/Forest Service campgound 10 miles up a graded road bike....
It is more fun to ride than a barrel of monkies....which is pretty much what the Spearfish rally is...
Congratulations.
Hope it brings you great joy.
Life is too short, so just go ride the _____ out of it.
My hypocratic oath as an aircraft mechanic will not let me hurt a machine....
Congrats, But it is not red. Of course, that is what paint is made for.
Actually, the yellow is nice. Matches my jacket....but I still like the looks of the 2016 V strom....
well who posted about wire wheels?????? your sneaky, asking about wire wheels, only to benefit you! now you have NT, FJR, now a suzuki with wire wheels. enjoy a bike for all seasons, weather, circumstances!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very astute, Woodaddict. The NT isnt worth much except to me....I might even donate it to someone on the forum when it is time....the FJR I will be burried on......but this new bike is a whole lot of fun to ride and farkle up. It has been years since I had a bike that I didnt have to be afraid of dumping at slow speeds. I Still have to be careful riding the NT and FJR at slow speeds, and the Connie C10 was aweful at slow speeds with 7 gallons of fuel and a touring load. That takes us back to the 1983 standard Goldwing with a Vetter and that was stable at slow speeds....its been a long time.
Sneaky Pete, yea olde Coyote
