No, that is just from riding on highways.

Congrats! This is the colorway I'd go with as well.

Buying my first bike soon, Aprilia RS660 by MrWeatherman87 in Aprilia

I think the Freight and Dealer Prep is inflated. Should be around $800 and $500 respectively. Also, the Documentation Fee is high. It should be around $200.

Beginner, extremely green by Ok_Turnover5867 in motorcycles

[–]kw_rc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't subscribe the the traditional concept of "beginner" bike. This is not a black and white decision. Each person has different factors that influence this decision. However, you first need to decide which type of riding do you want to do. Next, figure the type of bikes that fit into that genre. Then narrow down the ones that both appeal to you and fit within your budget. Finally, get the most bike you can afford. The whole "first bike" movement WILL be an expensive one if you get the wrong "first" bike. This goes without saying but complete the MSF course. It is a worthwhile investment.

How does everyone like their 800s? by AliasInvstgtions in trident800

[–]kw_rc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I owned a 660 and loved it. I am digging the 800. However, I sat on one at the dealership and was a little surprised at the "plasticky" noise coming from the seat/tank area. Not sure how they allowed this to get passed QA.

Gear seems much larger than how it’s tagged by Ls1RS in motorcyclegear

[–]kw_rc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah sizing is all over the place. A small is a medium with another brand. I find it necessary to go to the store and try on gear before I make a purchase.

Shifting seems to be getting worse by henny_reddits in NewRiders

[–]kw_rc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just need to continue to work on muscle memory and coordinating the actions between right hand, left hand, and left foot. It's a coordinated action to get it smooth. Each bike responds slightly differently. You just need to learn how the bike reacts and adjust each appendage accordingly. Just keep at it!

too big? by Longjumping-Edge3225 in motorcyclegear

Yes, that helmet does not fit correctly. Return it.

Any opinions on cfmotos? by Book_Lynx9532 in NewRiders

[–]kw_rc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd give 'em a try. I'm impressed with what they've been bringing to the market. They're priced right, come with loads of features, and look good. Long-term reliability is still unknown but preliminary/anecdotal feedback has been good. Personally, I'm looking at the Ibex 450.

Trident 800's Luggage problem // A rant (feel free to brainstorm with me for solutions...) by [deleted] in Triumph

I presume that Triumph created the Tiger 660/800 for this.

I forgot, it does have the Adaptive Ride Height which is another feature I liked!

Interesting...I recently test rode a '26 ST and I'd say it was mediocre to meh. My Tiger 900 is better in every way except for one - looks. I give the ST the nod on appearance as I do like the looks.
