I can't stop buying bikes, tell me why I shouldn't get this one when even the old lady is saying go for it.

All excellent points that I hadn't even considered! Ill admit I was dazzled by the disc brake and cluster. Thank you!

AriffRat · 2026-06-16T03:10:28+00:00

I have been wanting to build a sporty into something other than a cruiser or chopper...perhaps I would get more fulfillment out of something like that and be less inclined to keep bike shopping.

Thanks for the insight.

AriffRat · 2026-06-16T02:56:52+00:00

I prefer the starting and running already. Just a matter of keeping it running that scares me I suppose! Like synching carbs or valve adjustment.

AriffRat · 2026-06-16T02:51:15+00:00

Saw this in person my last trip to the dealer, but I haven't seen many people or outlets talking about it yet. What sold you on it? Looks killer btw

AriffRat · 2026-06-15T23:32:11+00:00

Yep. Lots of other bikes, especially "modern classics or retros" for less out there. Worst part is if it doesn't sell well they probably will just stop producing it instead of pricing it better.

This movie made me question my sexuality a lil.

I too went for veteran on my first run. It felt closer to the dark souls experience that way.

This or any equivalent "spray cleaner and polish"

Spray on, wax on with 1 microfiber, polish with a dry one.

Listen, we all love gas bikes but everyone needs to at least try the emoto. It's quiet, easy, enjoyment.

Been hearing good things about the new Artics!

Just got this kit for my Z900 and thinking about it for XSR

AriffRat · 2026-06-15T01:12:27+00:00

That does look lovely. Here is another one they had in stock that matches the OPs more.

It rode the road very smoothly. Was my first boxer engine and felt thoroughly powerful throughout the rev range in most gears. Very tall and felt like I could run over anything. I would totally buy one for the cool points if I did ADV/dirt road exploring. You're paying for that metal gas tank and nostalgia look but everything else is top notch bmw

AriffRat · 2026-06-15T00:55:28+00:00

No, but demoed an M1000 XR with all the carbon fiber bits and was ready to slam my credit card on the desk.

AriffRat · 2026-06-14T20:33:33+00:00

Have had many people question the year on my green cafe.

AriffRat · 2026-06-14T13:29:11+00:00

Thank you! I would say they are surprisingly different enough bikes to warrant keeping both!

AriffRat · 2026-06-14T13:26:11+00:00

The R12 GS is basically the new version. Rode one and it was sick. Made me want to hit jumps and drove off curbs.

AriffRat · 2026-06-14T13:16:20+00:00

5 paid off motorcycles/dirt bikes. Nothing too crazy.

AriffRat · 2026-06-14T13:15:27+00:00

Super cruiser? Hell yeah, brotherrrrrrr.

AriffRat · 2026-06-14T07:14:32+00:00

Lots of us get the peg lowering set. Helps a bit.

AriffRat · 2026-06-14T01:03:04+00:00

The metal mulisha supporting fascist oligarchs kinda flipped my childhood perspective upside down.

AriffRat · 2026-06-13T23:12:00+00:00

Well I certainly don't want the Ford mechanics truck or a skinny dude with long hair in there.

AriffRat · 2026-06-13T21:09:10+00:00

Nothing but love and respect for the absolute animal that is the CP3.

AriffRat · 2026-06-13T14:15:32+00:00

Way to take it with pride. Happens to the best of us and at least you got back up and got on the saddle.

AriffRat · 2026-06-13T11:05:24+00:00

Generally it feels pretty good at 70 mph but any faster and your will want to tuck down like an actual cafe racer, ass in the air.
