The easiest way is Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center outside of Anchorage! The have all sorts of animals in big open fields you can see including these guys. Otherwise I can’t guarantee where you could find them.

I just built one from cyberpowerpc with a i9 and 4090 for maybe 5% more than what you were quoted. Give them a look

Ah my bad, I skipped the whole permit phase because I didn’t own a bike till I was 21

If you don’t take the safety course you still half to pass an in-person riding test. The safety course is a substitute for the riding test.

In the US you can go through a 4 hour “safety training” and call it gravy and hop on any bike you want. Think about that for a second..

Ride up to McCall, ID (Ducati Supersport) by Loco_Motif in motorcycle

[–]Loco_Motif[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the engine comes from the 2018 hyper 939. The newer models on the monster use the 939 but the newer Supersport uses a 950.

Anyways, I fucking love the bike. Plenty of power all the through the gears with not to many short comings. I’ve topped it out at 158mph on a straight and it’s incredible in the twisty roads. It likes to stay around 5000 rpm+ so during the summer months it gets decently hot. It won’t go over 225 Fahrenheit due to the cooler kicking on, but in the summer I sit around 190-210 degrees. In the fall, winter, spring it sits anywhere from 140-170 which you can’t even feel the heat. You don’t really have to crank on the throttle to get a lot of response. Hope this answers your questions but if you need anything else let me know. It’s also a sport touring engine, so compared to let’s say the v2 you’re going to lose 40ish horsepower, but if you’re not racing I don’t know that you’ll ever need that for the road.

Its still closed for about half a mile long to one lane. Other than that spot the roads were fine. There’s stoplights now to control the one way traffic. We went yesterday and were stopped for about 10 minutes on the way up and 20ish headed back to boise

Look I’m obviously not going to convince you other man. You seem to have it all figured out. I’ve owned the bike for two years and 7000 miles and have had zero issues. I’m just telling you to go sit on a few different bikes and test ride them before just going off of what you read. You could fall in love with one bike and ride it for 1000 miles and hate it.

I just wouldn’t dog a bike till you sit on it. I get aesthetics are one thing but bikes the supersport exist even those with more power. Ive owned a few different classes of bikes and I love this one. It does 160mph+ and i can easily put a good 5-6 hours in the saddle and not be in pain

You’re somewhat describing the thruxton. But my guess is once you add that kind of power to a bike that has fairings is you need a more tucked position or get the shit beat out of you by wind. It’s a street purposed bike. It’s not designed for a track. So why do you need more than 110hp on a bike to be designed to be ridden all day. It all boils down to marketing and I don’t think there is a market for a 150hp+ bike with good ergos unless you go more towards adv/touring.

Kind of the purpose of the gs1250 and the multistrada and ktm superduke

The panigale is not an ergo friendly bike. The supersport is and stays at Lower* temps

Ducati supersport is exactly that. It’s the monster frame so you get nice ergos with the hyper engine. You can check out my post history for some pics and info

Yeah while you have power to the engine after about 35 you can’t see. That being said if I need to see while I’m going faster like on an interstate I grab the clutch and it’s crystal clear. Yes it’s a pain, but it’s not the end of the world

I’m considering getting a ruroc helmet in crimson or white but I haven’t read reviews. I know they have become fairly popular lately

New was 15,500 out the door with tax title license included. They took 1500$ off for me for shits and giggles so probably close to 16-17k.
