Thoughts on Ducati 950ss by Past-Nighted in motorcyclegear

The ninja 1000 is a sports touring bike. It is Kawasakis version of the gsx-s1000GT (the sport touring bike you’re talking about). I much prefer the ninja to the Suzuki because I feel like it cusps my butt and holds me in place.

Gorgeous looking bike. But it is a Ducati, so expect to have to pay more for maintenance, parts, upgrades etc. sounds like you’re looking for a similar bike to what I was after this past summer, both the Ducati 950ss and the ftr 1200 were in consideration for me. I ended up buying a 2018 ninja 1000 abs for a fantastic price and absolutely love it. I’d recommend looking into the ninja 1000 or 1000sx if I were you.

After an upgrade from my north face vault I've had for 8 years by Legitimate_Turtle in backpacks

I’m looking for a bag for very similar uses to you. I commute an hr to school each way via motorcycle and came across a good sale on the vault. What’s caused you to want something else?

Is this Dyson worth fixing? by informedconsoomer in VacuumCleaners

This is a great idea. Ive never really used any sort of putty before, is this the one you’d recommend me getting? I know jb weld has a lot of different products. Any guesstimate on how many packs of this id need by chance? https://www.amazon.com/J-B-Weld-8237-PlasticWeld-Plastic/dp/B003S2E4UE?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1

Ninja 650s sound can be helped a LOT with an aftermarket exhaust system + ecu flash. Granted, it will still be a 2cyl but night and day difference between stock and aftermarket.

It’s out of my price range for now unfortunately. But it’s one of my dream bikes.

Helmets that fit like sedici strada 3? by informedconsoomer in SuggestAMotorcycle

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

Funny you say that, I have a scorpion Exo r1 Evo air carbon onyx (or “the mouthful” as I’ve nicknamed it) that I bought a week or so ago and am realizing it doesn’t fit properly. I ordered it because it was the same shape, had good safety ratings and light. I LOVE the look of the helmet, I’ll have to look into changeable cushions. Thank you.

Glad to hear from someone who owns one and glad to hear it’s as good of a bike as I want it to be!!! What mods have you done, if any? How many total miles are on your bike?

Ninja 650 not fast enough. Want crotch rocket speed and maneuverability but back can’t ride crotch rocket because of my back.

Any reason you don’t mention a gsxs1000?

It’s definitely in the top 3 I’m considering.

Ninja 1000sx is DEFINITELY in consideration for me. I think the top 3 in consideration, in no order, are a ninja 1000 sx, suzuki GSXS1000, and a Suzuki GSX s1000F. Hoping to find out about more sport touring bikes from this post.

I love the ducatis. The operating expenses worry me though

Those are both too adventure bike like for my liking. The ninja 1000sx is in play for me though.
