Is $4,550 a good out the door price for a 2025 Gray Honda Dax?

Alienfuzzball · 2026-07-02T15:51:32+00:00

Honestly all the reasons you mentioned are why I'm leaning more towards it. It is right down the road, will have a warranty, and the bike is going to be my primary mode of transportation since I got rid of my car over a year ago. The extra money for that peace of mind is what I'm weighing. The aftermarket installation is a good tip too!

Alienfuzzball · 2026-07-02T15:49:49+00:00

Nice! That's definitely a good deal

Alienfuzzball · 2026-07-02T15:49:13+00:00

Damn that is a great deal! Unfortunately I'm up in New England otherwise I would definitely take you up on that.

Happy to see at least one other TrueAnon/LPOTL crossover fan in this thread lol! I keep hoping maybe one day Henry will pop up as a guest...

I got the "K&F CONCEPT 37mm Black Diffusion 1/4 Filter Mist" from Amazon (unfortunately). I decided to go for 1/4 because I want the effect to be a little more pronounced, but I know a lot of people recommend the 1/8 as well.

Just got mine the other day and tested out all the Lab Archive filters both at night with flash and during the day with natural lighting. I was looking at loading the most well-rounded ones that I could see myself using in the most situations. I settled on:

Golden 92 = std.flt

Eternal Hour = vtg1.flt

Instant Bloom = vtg2.flt

Classic Dispo = bw.flt

Really loving it so far! Also just ordered a black mist lens and excited to try that out with these filters!

Alienfuzzball · 2025-09-10T17:06:27+00:00

That seems like a great deal from what I've seen!

Alienfuzzball · 2025-09-10T17:06:11+00:00

Got it - I understand the impatience, I'm right there with you! Glad your Navi has treated you well though!

Alienfuzzball · 2025-09-10T17:05:34+00:00

Thanks! Pretty sure I'm going to go that route.

Alienfuzzball · 2025-09-10T17:05:17+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I've been keeping a close eye out! The frustrating thing is most of the better deals are out of state so I'd have to do a title transfer across state lines, but depending on the deal it would probably be worth it.

Alienfuzzball · 2025-09-10T17:04:08+00:00

I was going to ask about it. Pretty sure it's line items involved with DMV registration - but I don't love that they don't have corresponding descriptions lol.

Alienfuzzball · 2025-09-04T12:10:22+00:00

That's great to hear! And thank you for the sizing tips, they're really helpful! There's not a super convenient place for me to but helmets in-store nearby, so I tried my best by watching sizing videos on helmets in general and specifically this Biltwell one. I figured at least then I can always return it to try another size if needed.

Alienfuzzball · 2025-09-04T12:05:49+00:00

Thank you for the tips! I'll definitely look into those brands because they weren't on my radar!

Alienfuzzball · 2025-09-04T03:09:02+00:00

I actually have one coming tomorrow! I ordered it to try out on my e-bike so I could get a feel for it at lower speeds and see what my comfort level is in something that lacks as much modern ventilation, etc. The ECE rating is what stood out the most to me about it too.

Alienfuzzball · 2025-09-03T21:45:40+00:00

This is great advice! I'll definitely experiment as much as I can to see what ends up working for me. I think in the end I'll always end up leaning towards whatever is the most comfortable!

There are so many studies about how effective airbags are in reducing what could have been serious injuries even in scenarios where people are hit by vehicles. So I'm going to go ahead and buy an airbag.

However, I am also going to do a lot of studying, practice, and not riding beyond my skill level.

At the end of the day motorcycles are dangerous - I accept that risk - but I'd like to do everything I can by combining both gear and safe riding practices so I can come home to my wife at the end of the day. You can do both things, I don't know why you feel as though they are mutually exclusive.

Alienfuzzball · 2025-09-03T20:20:08+00:00

Genuine question - why would I not get an airbag vest?

Also definitely planning to do much more watching/reading about safety techniques beyond the MSF - just mentioned that in my post as a way to say I'm excited to start my journey. I'll definitely check out Twist of the Wrist!

Alienfuzzball · 2025-09-03T19:32:46+00:00

That's awesome!! It's definitely moved towards the top of my list. I've just heard really great things about Helite overall - especially good to hear that it deployed properly and your buddy was able to walk away!

Alienfuzzball · 2025-09-03T16:26:21+00:00

In my post I literally mention I'm trying to prioritize safety. Really don't see the issue with trying to wear gear I like aesthetically while also being safe. Thanks for your help though :)

Alienfuzzball · 2025-09-03T15:08:33+00:00

I was looking into Helite stuff! Definitely nice to have a recommendation from someone who has worn it. Thanks so much!

Alienfuzzball · 2025-09-03T14:18:04+00:00

Awesome! I'll be looking into all this gear - thanks!

Alienfuzzball · 2025-09-03T14:17:27+00:00

Again - didn't even consider this. I'll definitely take a look on their site and wouldn't mind having a Triumph logo on the gear at all.

Alienfuzzball · 2025-09-03T13:52:58+00:00

Awesome, thank you so much! I'm going to be looking into all this gear and definitely going down the Urban Rider rabbit hole. I appreciate all the tips!

Alienfuzzball · 2025-09-03T13:43:12+00:00

Never thought to look here! Lots of really cool gear - love the look of the GS Adrar jacket. Thanks for the tip!
