Any bikers here? (speed bikes)

Yeah kinda pisses me off too lol but you gotta pay to play I guess

Thoughts on an s83 boulevard? 1400cc
10 000kms
 
J'ai eu un DRZ400SM assez saucé
Ensuite un Triumph street triple R pendant plusieurs années

Malheureusement les couts overall et d'autres facteurs on fait que je l'ai vendu. Il y a 3 ans j'ai racheté une ninja 250R, vraiment le fun comme petite moto. Mais je manque de temps pour en faire donc elle n'est pas plaquée..

ABS is a good thing, a very good thing.

Water cooled engine barely require more maintenance (never really maintained anything on my 4 water cooled bike), are nearly always much more powerful then air cooled engine, do not overheat in traffic and cause no discomfort of feeling like you are sitting on a toaster oven.

Belt/chain/drive shaft. Chain transfers power power more efficiently and is easily serviceable anywhere you are. I definitely would not make this a criteria though.

Injection VS carb? Injection everyday all day.

Sounds like its time for a MR bike meet.

BTW, I love coaching new drivers, hut me up if you want to review any of your practical exams.

I want to go for a specific look/comfort/reliable combo

M109r, ya un de mes instructeurs qui a ça
I think it’s too big and not the style I’m after at all

Did you had a look at the Honda Rebel 1100? pretty much what you are looking for and its honda reliability...

Oh shit
I didn’t know they were doing more than 500cc

Thank you

The only thing I don’t like about it is the digital dash but I guess that’s upgradeable

Oui j'avais eu ca dans mon cours sur circuit fermé et sur route, ca roule bien mais j'ai vraiment mieux apprécié les CB500
 
Dommage que les Rebel 500 soit aussi difficile à trouver usagé. J'ai l'impression que les écoles de conduites ont du monde à temps plein juste pour les ramasser sur le marché du "used".

La plateforme et motorisation est super éprouvé. J'en magasinais yne pour ma femme mais elle finalement bien mon CRF250L.
 
^^ en plus pas chere et honda reliability...pas pour rien que ca part vite!

Honetement, les seul honda que je trouve tres cool et ca semble pas se vendre c'est les sateline et les fury! Pcq meme les VTX quand je magasinais, ca part vite.
 
Lool for a factory made chopper....I agree! It's just a beauty! The only complaint it seems to have is that the 1300 lacks power! But it more then makes up for it with looks
 
I actually dig the whole carb idea, analog everything etc.
I know it could be a pain in the cold, but how much "in the cold" riding do we do anyways.

I'm eyeing an S83, because classic, compact and not HUGE fork angle, but also it's a 1400.

For fork angle I dislike this stuff for example:

I'm not too worried about "too much power for beginner", I'm not stupid. But I really don't feel like looking for more power in 1 year...

I really like the look of this for example, which is basically an S83, but rather an older 1400 Intruder:
