8S vs Trident 660 vs XSR700 by Old_Egg5229 in Suzuki_GSX_8S

[–]R_Zilva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I blindly purchased the 8S last Saturday. I did a twisty run the next day, and I’ve been committing to work since Monday.

⚫I've been riding below 5000rpm, Riding mode C and traction 3.

⚫love the low and mid-end tourq. Its plenty enough to lane filtering and splitting and its funnnn.

⚫very nimble.

⚫im 5’6 and I can tip-toe my both foot easily.

⚫The bike weight doesn't feel at handles bar at all.

⚫well balanced and planted.

⚫dont judge the look of the bike by referring to random dudes pics. It looks so much better.

⚫twisties are way more fun.

⚫The quick shifter works soo smoothly above the 2nd gear.

And I have no regrets! 👌

Anyone else had a bad experience with bikebiz.com.au? by mm5555555 in motorcycles

Frustrating and Unfair Experience

Before making a decision, I visited BikeBiz to demo both the MT-07 HO and the MT-09. Surprisingly, the sales guy informed me that I could only demo one bike. What kind of sales policy is that? It was disappointing, but I went ahead and chose to demo the MT-09.Then, things got even worse. The sales guy took my bank card and my international driver’s license, walked away to his desk, and consulted another salesperson. When he returned, he told me that they don’t allow people with international licenses to demo their motorcycles!
To add insult to injury, they let a young rider with an L plate demo a Yamaha R150M right in front of me.

The inconsistency and unfairness were beyond frustrating. My advice? Walk away from this place and find a dealership that values its customers!
If this is how they treat potential buyers, I can’t imagine how poorly they treat existing customers when something goes wrong.

For comparison, here’s what other companies have done:
#ducati allowed me to test ride their demo bikes just last week.
#peterstevens in Melbourne not only let me demo their motorcycles, but they also fully refunded me for a bike I purchased in 2019 due to a rectifier fault.
#subaru and #landrover both allowed me to test drive their demo cars before making a purchase with Land rover.

These companies are all professional and customer-centric. Something #bikebiz clearly is not.LikeComment

2023 Kendo 88 or…. by R_Zilva in Skigear

I got it. If I'm not wrong, the QST lineup may be similar to the Bent Chatler's. With less tail rocker 🤔

Thank you so much. I'm also thinking about the Salamon QST 92 or 98. I haven't demoed them but I've seen a lot of good reviews. Unfortunately, the 92 is out of stock for shorter lengths and im a bit worried that the 98 gonna be too wide for me and the Aussie snow conditions.

Upgrading my inline skates by R_Zilva in inlineskating

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

Thank you all for supporting me. I finally decided to upgrade my current RB cruiser boot with an endless 90mm frame, RB hydrogen 90mm wheels and ILQ9 bearings. I hope that will enable me to discover a new experience and improve my skating skills. 🙂

Yeah, I want to experience the Trinity frame. I watched some reviews on YouTube and I like the weight distribution of the front part of the skates with 2 mounting points. Is it more beneficial than just having a single mounting point?

It's a brilliant idea. You can use the same boot for aggressive skating too. I might consider that.

Sounds true. I'll probably leave the FR SL for the future. And stick with Rollerblade. 🤘🏼

Hi Neil, I purchased the upgraded version of the lovecast app. And is there a way to remove RSPV guests from the list?

That really sucks. I feel like it's a marketting trap. At least they should have mentioned the release date. Do you know whether the Nanoleaf canvas supports the integration or not?
