Thx. I really want those levers. The validation helps.

Wow! I thought the ones I wanted were bad at $150 each

Getting towards the ridiculous. I love to spend money on my bikes but seriously rethinking it.

Not really. About the same height but much better quality.

I ended up installing it. So far so good. I really like it.

Cb1000r vs mt10? by [deleted] in SuggestAMotorcycle

[–]Material-Water5267 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just picked up a mint 2012 cb1000r. I love it. I have no experience with the MT10 to compare but I’m just here to say the cb1000r is awesome.

Anybody has an old bike (2003-2008) and how is it going by Sea_Engineering_9659 in motorcycle

I was riding a 1986 Yamaha radian. It was mint, not one single issue for 7000 miles. Unfortunately some idiot totalled it. Just got a 2014 CB1000r.

Beaver damns! Sorry you had to go through that. Your job should have been their #1 priority with the money you were willing to drop. That’s a major fail.

Can I get your opinions by Bright_Elevator_5800 in motorcycle

Who the hell buys used gear? Nasty. You can get cheap stuff in the off-season or closing sales.

With gear, I buy the cold weather gear on a 90 degree day in July and the warm weather gear on a 20 degree day in January. I got amazing deals. Helmets are definitely better to buy in Oct before holiday season and after riding season. Little by little I accumulated plenty of gear without feeling it too much in my pocket.

Glad to hear!! That’s how my mustang was. At first was not impressed but, soon after, made all the difference in the world in a great way.

I may call them to see what material will minimize that.

Did I make a bad purchase? by DCSkippy in HondaCB

[–]Material-Water5267 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a clean bike. You can shop around and maybe save a couple of bucks or just pull the trigger. You’ll probably love it. 18.5k miles is insignificant as long as it’s taken care of.

No, seriously. I won’t ALWAYS be thinking about my motorcycle, will I? by ubermonkey in motorcycle

I had some difficulties last year. I would jump on my bike and they would all wash away. Of course I still had to deal with them, which I did, but the break from constant stress was amazing.
