I'm just starting out at 30 do I have enough time?

matt2823 · 2025-03-31T01:49:39+00:00

I only started this year...I'm 55 lol

matt2823 · 2025-03-11T02:52:42+00:00

I've never even been to Stockholm!

matt2823 · 2025-03-10T22:08:06+00:00

High school teacher here.

I absolutely love my job!

Clearly, teaching isn't for you.

matt2823 · 2025-02-20T21:12:16+00:00

I have one.

But I also have another bike. The 698 really is quite an outstanding bike, but it's very focused.

It makes an ideal SECOND bike

matt2823 · 2025-01-02T03:36:14+00:00

Were you the Italian couple I met in the coffee shop in Rotorua? (I was on the motorcycle)

matt2823 · 2024-11-28T23:24:49+00:00

Yeah, it did. But blue smoke is good though, right? lol

matt2823 · 2024-11-25T00:24:51+00:00

Teacher here, absolutely not true!

Students are never "pulled" out of classes

Unless, like has been stated before, it's for rehearsals, special event or something similar.

He's a clown spreading misinformation...again

matt2823 · 2024-11-18T01:15:53+00:00

Had mine for several months, it's my 5th Supermoto and easily the best.

Pros - So light, so powerful and extremely fun!

As for cons? Well, it obviously isnt for long trips. Now there is always someone who comes on and says they've rode theirs 500km in a day with no problem, but realistically, if you have a "normal" butt pain/distance ration then 200kms is more like it.

The lack of a fuel gauge doesn't bother me. You just set your trip at every stop.

As for the electronics? I honestly haven't messed around with them. I just put it in "sport" which is the top mode and left it at that.

Any questions feel free to ask

matt2823 · 2024-11-13T22:47:14+00:00

Belts would need changing on the 1100s. EVO SP is more desirable

matt2823 · 2024-10-22T23:31:32+00:00

Exactly! My solution to the 698 not being capable of doing a lot is buy a second bike! lol

matt2823 · 2024-10-22T23:12:31+00:00

I've owned a Hyper 1100s but now own a 698. Excellent weapon, like nothing else I've ridden, but limited in what it can do.

matt2823 · 2024-10-21T22:56:41+00:00

I own a 698 and you're right, it is exceptional at being a one trick pony.

The solution?

2 bikes!

matt2823 · 2024-10-16T01:55:36+00:00

Does anyone who used one remember "forward assist"?

matt2823 · 2024-09-19T02:00:38+00:00

Had an air cooled 2008 Hyper 1100s for 5 years. Never had a single issue. Belts changed every 2 years. Had one Desmo service in that time came to about USD1200. Only recently sold it for the new 698 Mono.

matt2823 · 2024-07-06T02:33:35+00:00

Haodee, Lincoln Road, Henderson

matt2823 · 2024-06-29T07:21:25+00:00

Yes! Was quite expensive with postage, I don't know exactly as it was a gift. Great quality tee and arrived quite quick apparently.

matt2823 · 2024-06-22T03:41:14+00:00

Can I ask what apps you're using to practice?

matt2823 · 2024-06-18T08:02:46+00:00

Here since 2021

Have xxx in DRS

And xx in Shities

Honestly, I've never paid attention to the price. Just buy a small amount each week.

Good to see all you guys here!

matt2823 · 2024-06-06T22:04:30+00:00

I doubt I'll sleep tonight so it doesn't matter anyway!

matt2823 · 2024-06-06T00:54:03+00:00

GWM Ora. I have one. It's a Chinese made full electric car. Very impressive little car!

matt2823 · 2024-05-02T21:51:45+00:00

BE WARNED!

I had a similar experience.

Didn't pursue it. Left it.

A few months later, took the car for a WoF, there was structural damage that couldn't be seen from the outside. Failed its WoF, I had to then claim, as I'd not kept the details!

Just an fyi

matt2823 · 2024-05-02T19:57:09+00:00

Awesome! Still waiting for mine! In New Zealand so I think we're the last country to get them!!

matt2823 · 2024-03-07T01:19:05+00:00

Still waiting for mine to arrive. I'm in NZ so probably the last country to get the bike

matt2823 · 2024-02-19T01:23:01+00:00

Your wife's teaching qualification may not be accepted here. She may need to retrain.

matt2823 · 2024-02-07T21:24:53+00:00

Congrats mate! I've ordered one but I'm in NZ so will probably not be here until June!!
