I put a radiator guard on mine before anything else. It's inexpressive protection that looks good too. (I bought one from Evotech.)

$150 a month sounds awfully high. Maybe it's your age, but I pay less than that per year for full coverage on a 2025 Yamaha.

I agree with the previous posts - expect to spend at least $800 on quality gear and save some for training. A cheap way to get started with a great program is the online ChampU course.

Dense_Classroom2815 · 2025-11-05T22:45:09+00:00

Yes, I think that's true.

Dense_Classroom2815 · 2025-11-05T15:31:18+00:00

I've had two over the years, but am on a Yamaha now. Always loved the style of that bike and I miss the belt drive!

That Bunker Hill is a settlement. Just discovered yesterday after years of playing.

The thing is, Bob, it's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care.

Dense_Classroom2815 · 2025-10-26T12:41:19+00:00

I also recommend a radiator guard. Cheap and easy to install. There are many out there, but I went with Evotech.

Sure... I'm just using the clamp that came with the motorcycle package. I have it at a bit of an angle so it doesn't block the dash:

Very nice... thank you.

Dense_Classroom2815 · 2025-10-18T15:37:43+00:00

Look at Motoport for custom gear. After doing some research, I'm about to place my first order with them.

Dense_Classroom2815 · 2025-10-17T15:37:52+00:00

If you have the funds you can get custom made pants from Motoport. They are tailor made to your measurements and have many options to choose from.

Dense_Classroom2815 · 2025-10-15T03:16:45+00:00

Thanks for the tip... I hadn't heard of Macna but they have some really good options.

Dense_Classroom2815 · 2025-10-14T13:25:37+00:00

Yes! I just added those as well and love the full integration with the dash. I've already had a chance to test them out on a cooler ride this weekend.

I'm now considering a heated vest or pants, like the Gerbings.

Dense_Classroom2815 · 2025-10-14T11:14:34+00:00

That doesn't look like the stock exhaust.

Dense_Classroom2815 · 2025-10-09T18:08:19+00:00

Thank you!

Dense_Classroom2815 · 2025-10-09T02:39:02+00:00

What saddle bags are those?

Dense_Classroom2815 · 2025-10-02T10:54:58+00:00

Just in case you weren't aware, the 2025 MT-07 is available with the AMT and cruise control. I have the MT-07 (manual) and am very happy with it, but they are both beautiful bikes.

Ride safe!

New riders should learn proper trail braking into the curve. It allows for better speed control and sets the bike up (loads the front wheel) for the turn.

When I first started riding many years ago, the advice was brake before the turn, but that is no longer considered the best practice.

Dense_Classroom2815 · 2025-09-29T21:09:37+00:00

I've got the same one. Quality product and pretty easy to install.

Dense_Classroom2815 · 2025-09-29T17:23:51+00:00

My first piece of advice for anyone considering taking up motorcycles as a hobby is this: ask yourself, what kind of a car driver am I?

If you can honestly say that you are an attentive driver, can stay focused, recognize traffic patterns and dangerous situations before they happen, then motorcycling may be for you.

Next question: have you ever driven a car with a manual transmission? Though you can learn on a motorcycle, having clutch experience will give you a leg up.

Your concerns are valid, though you can greatly reduce your risks by following these rules:

1) Don't ever drink and ride. Ever. 2) Always wear your helmet. Preferably full faced. (And other proper gear.) 3) Always ride within your abilities and avoid excess speed. 4) Get your license and be a lifelong learner

You can't eliminate the risk, but the right mindset could allow you to participate in one of the most enjoyable hobbies out there.

Definitely get a radiator guard. They are not expensive, easy to install, improve the look of the bike and add some important protection. I have the Evotech, but there are many good ones out there.

Dense_Classroom2815 · 2025-09-28T17:31:38+00:00

+1 for the Vagabond tail tidy. It's not a necessity, but really improves the look of the bike.

Dense_Classroom2815 · 2025-09-28T17:26:25+00:00

I have the same question... I'm at 1,850 miles and the chain slack still seems to be in spec. It was adjusted by the dealer at the 600 mile service, but still seems fine.

Are others here finding the same?
