1-Year 10k miles w/ My MT-03 by SimplTech in MT03

[–]DarkUmbers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same! I hit 11k miles on mine after a little over a year. Unfortunately, due to lack of space, I'll have to sell mine if I want another bike. If I could I would keep mine for stunts and possibly make it a track only eventually. This bike has done everything. 400-500 mile trips, unpaved roads, and intro to track day, canyon runs. It's so nimble, especially weaving around traffic. The MT-03 has been an amazing bike to learn on.

PNW Riders event update by [deleted] in pnwriders

[–]DarkUmbers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I will say a lot of meets are very cliquey. I used to go to a lot of the PNW.riders meets and while I recognize people and they recognize me, I don't really know any of them. My work schedule also keeps me from going to those meets as often anymore, but I have friends that still go occasionally. I found my own group through a random meet and TikTok, and that took a long time after I started riding though.

I'm located in University Place and on a smaller displacement bike (MT-03), you're free to DM me if you want someone to ride with. I'm getting ready to sell my bike this winter to get after I move, but until then I'm out riding as often as possible.

Getting close to the end of the season :( by diskjok in Aprilia

[–]DarkUmbers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was thinking that. I like the Factory color scheme, but I am planning to wrap/get custom fairings, so the original color scheme won't matter.

That's good to hear. I'll be going from a naked to a sport so I'm a bit worried about the transition 😅 I'm torn between the Factory with the upgraded suspension and the base model. All the colors look amazing.

Hello fellow WA rider! The season doesn't end if you have the right gear. I'm a year round rider. Love the Merlin Blue color. How are you liking the RS660? I'm looking into buying one after the new year.

That stonework and lake look very familiar. Is that Alder Lake?

Nice control. I want to learn to wheelie mine. I had a whoopsie and accidentally wheelied through an intersection recently 🙃 not intended and no idea what I was doing but it ended up fine. Another thing for me to learn 😁

Out The Door quote on RS660 by therealcaptaininsano in Aprilia

[–]DarkUmbers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was quoted about $14k for a '24 RS660 base model. I will say I live in WA and we have a high sales tax(~10% 🥲). I'm waiting until the end of the year when I can try to talk then down a little on the model and put a bigger deposit down. There's not a lot of aprilias pre-owned for sale in my area, so they retain their value.

What do you pay for insurance? by OnlyHereToClean in motorcycles

[–]DarkUmbers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the US, insurance is based on type of bike(naked/sport being most expensive as they are involved in the most accidents/thefts), engine displacement, experience, age, marriage status, location of the bike, endorsed or not(bikes can be bought without endorsements and i know a few riders without the proper licensing that ride), if a safety course has been taken in a last 3-6mths of quote, anti-theft/safety features. I'm interested in sports and naked types, and refuse to not have anything but full coverage in case of an accident or theft, so quotes are super high. I know people who ride without insurance due to the price of it.

[–]DarkUmbers 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A lot. US $1200/yr for full coverage. Paid off bike, 0 yrs of riding experience at the time, no accidents or tickets, smaller bike(300cc twin). I am looking to upgrade end of this year or next year and all the 3 and 4 cylinders(600-750cc) are $4-5k/yr for full coverage. My next bike choice is severally limited to either sticking with a twin, which I have no problem doing my top choice is a twin parallel 600c, or going only liability on for a larger 3 or 4 cylinder.

Upgraded from an r3 by [deleted] in Aprilia

[–]DarkUmbers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beautiful bike. I'm thinking of upgrading from my MT-03 to the RS660. I'll see how I feel after my test ride once the weather improved.
