That looks like the bastard child of my brother's Speed Triple and a Super Moto

Fills me with covetous thoughts

Sweeeeeeeeeeet!

I am interested in hearing your reviews. I've thought of selling my CR250 and getting something I can put a plate on.

My wife bought it. Kinda.

Damn fun. It's ticking with heat in my driveway.

I'm gonna drop it off for factory service and take it from there.

Looks great, Vash. You have the panniers on order yet?

Recco: go with dry bag soft panniers. They're the new thing. Hard bags are too wide and will break in a spill.

I went with these: https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/enduristan-monsoon-3-panniers

I went to a motorcycle dealer's open house this past weekend. I wanted to see who their customer were, and find out if we could do a cross-marketing event with our grand opening.

I noticed two things: (1) the riding position of these street bikes is one of three types, and (2) the customers are mostly older, at least the ones who go to open houses. Even the music was old.

I like the bike that Vash posted. It looks aggressive and capable. The Bristish bikes all sort of have an upright riding posture. The Ducatis and sport bikes have a sort of football hiker position, and the Indians, the most gorgeous bikes, have a posture that can best be described as "cowgirl".

I wonder why, given the older customers, more bikes don't have windscreens and saddle bags to put old guy stuff in, like pills and glasses.
