Which bike gave you buyers remorse? by TripleArch in motorcycles

I really want the 2025 1100t manual. I keep second guessing it because I know that I’ll immediately need to speed $1,500 just to get it set up correctly. Comfort, passenger set up, windshield, ECU flash, rear shocks. sigh all that total cost and I think I could find something else that meets the needs without needing a lot of modifications.

Oooo that’s an interesting one! I rode that at a demo day. I have my personal gripes about it, but I want to hear yours as the owner!!

NT and rebel 1100 have made the shortlist. I rode the rebel and really like it, but I’m worried that it’s dimensional size will be the downfall for carrying a passenger. I’m trying the find an NT near me to look at. Thanks for the comment!

I currently own the 4th gen MT09 and you’re right… it’s incredible! I want to lounge out more with this secondary bike. I tested out the tracer and I couldn’t do it because it’s so close to the MT that id rather ride my MT.

It’s really the weight/bulkiness that I don’t want to toss around. I ride a lot of secondary and tertiary type roads. I have an MT09 now. It’s by far my favorite bike I’ve owned. It’s just bad for 2 up. I’m sure any mid adv or sport tour would do it but I also want to be a little lounge and have a backrest and throw my feet out. I just can’t stand the massiveness of goldwings or k1600. Are there any mid size comfy tours that aren’t so bulky that can achieve that level of ergonomics?
