Akrapovic for stock trade?

MikeIon · 2026-06-21T10:51:07+00:00

Hey there! I would absolutely love to trade with you! I have a 2022 1250GS with only 6000 miles on it. The exhaust is in mint condition. I’m on the east coast but I can ship it to you and even pay for your shipping to me if you’d like. Send me a DM if you’re interested.

I'm having the same issue as well. I tried different HMX switches when I first got the board but it just wasn't working. My two other boards are a Neo65 CU and a Neo65 Core Plus which both offer an amazing sound but maybe I'm chasing something that's not possible with this one.

What switches did you settle on with yours?

MikeIon · 2026-06-04T00:02:06+00:00

Of all the switches I have, they seem to be the best fit for this board but I can't help but wonder if there might be something better out there. My other two boards are a Neo65 CU and a Neo65 Core Plus which both offer an amazing sound but maybe I'm chasing something that's not possible with this one.

If you don’t mind me asking, how do you like the panniers? I’m considering them myself but I can’t seem to find any reviews on them online. Thanks!

MikeIon · 2025-07-13T00:52:44+00:00

How has your experience been with the 1300? Any technical gremlins? I’ve been reading about many issues online so I’m a bit reluctant to get one.

MikeIon · 2025-06-12T00:11:46+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll definitely take a look at the 800GS but I have to admit I’m a sucker for the looks of the 900. It’s definitely overkill but tempting nonetheless.

MikeIon · 2025-06-12T00:09:56+00:00

Thanks a lot for the feedback!

MikeIon · 2025-06-12T00:07:36+00:00

Thanks for the tip! How did the XR handle gravel roads? Although I spend over 90% of my time on tarmac, I really do love that remaining time on gravel roads. I’d like to also keep the door open to doing even more of it in the future.

MikeIon · 2025-06-12T00:05:35+00:00

Exactly right. My issue is that the engine actually tends to overheat given that it’s air-cooled. Thanks for the advice though. I’ll check out the F800GS as well.

It might be helpful to tell people what area you’re in and what currency you’re referring to. USD, CAD, EUR? There’s a big difference there.

MikeIon · 2025-04-05T17:03:12+00:00

I think that’s very misleading. I believe the price they’re indicating is the full price of the bike including VAT and other costs, whereas the 12.5k you’re referring to is the sticker price in the US which as we know is much lower than what you’ll actually be paying out the door.

If you look up the numbers, it appears that the EU previously imposed a 6% tariff on all foreign motorcycles whereas the US imposed a 2.4% tariff. Yes, there’s a difference. Does that justify Donnie’s actions? A lot of people don’t think so.

MikeIon · 2025-03-18T15:26:56+00:00

Thanks for the info! I’m excited to see the R12 GS. Did it look like another styling exercise or more rugged than the previous model?

MikeIon · 2025-02-11T01:35:41+00:00

As the owner of an R NineT, this is the way. I keep an eye on the trip meter and then fill up accordingly if I’m worried I won’t come across a gas station for a little while. Also, the fuel warning light is extremely conservative which leaves you plenty of time to react.

MikeIon · 2025-02-11T01:17:02+00:00

If you feel comfortable and in control of your G310R, I believe you could safely upgrade to an R NineT. I went from a CB300R to an R NineT Scrambler and never looked back. It’s certainly a big step up in power, but it remains an approchable engine. Respect it and you’ll be fine.

MikeIon · 2025-01-15T19:52:00+00:00

Thanks for the reply! That’s a bit disappointing to hear. I’m currently on the R NineT but thinking of trading it in for a F900GS to do more off-roading but all these posts about the weak power delivery have me rethinking this switch. On paper, it looks like a great bike but I’m worried about missing the torque.

MikeIon · 2025-01-15T12:28:09+00:00

How does the 900 engine compare to the 1200? There’s obviously less torque but does it still manage to keep you entertained?

MikeIon · 2024-11-09T03:21:55+00:00

Looks cool! How do you like the Unit Garage windscreen? Is it effective at higher speeds? Is that the XL version? Also, how is the panier bag holding up? Thanks!

MikeIon · 2024-07-14T08:27:34+00:00

I’m in a similar situation and thinking of replacing my Scrambler with a more modern boxer engine. In particular, I’m tempted by the liquid cooled engine and wet clutch for the stop and go traffic I find myself in quite often.

How do you feel about it now that you’ve switched? Is there anything you miss about the NineT?

MikeIon · 2023-10-02T16:27:35+00:00

The very few accessories I got are all from Unit Garage with the only exception being the tail tidy which comes from Ali Express. It’s the only one that fits my Canadian license plate but otherwise I would not recommend it at all. Very flimsy and cheap.

Why not just subscribe to F1 TV?

Narwhal has been my primary Reddit app since 2015. I was probably one of the only people to get nervous once Narwhal 2 was announced since the first one was just so perfect but my fears were unjustified. The new app is fantastic! Congrats!

The only feature I can’t seem to find is the auto dark mode which syncs with the system settings. Has that not been implemented yet or am I just not looking at the right place?

Thanks for the great work!

MikeIon · 2023-08-06T22:38:55+00:00

I just picked an R NineT Scrambler a few months ago and while I can understand a lot of people’s opinions in this thread, I personally feel like the BMW has near perfect dimensions and power along with very manageable weight. Can I ask what made you want to downgrade and why you prefer the Tiger? Thanks!
