Who rides motorcycles?

Nothing sounds cooler than a big V-twin cafe bike.

You've just created a Thread Debt......

You now owe us a vid with good-quality audio.... of that race engine ripping through a long twisty road, with good sight-lines.

Might want to cover the speedo, temporarily......

Well, pull that pen out! It's just a few dollars a month. A man's got to have some fun, and it's easy to train a lady to ride them.

Found a guy in South Africa making aftermarket exhaust for the bike. About $1k to procure, but they sound amazing. It already has a race ECM from the previous owner/exhaust setup, so the fueling should be close.

Oh, my wife already owns and rides one. She has a little R3. I have the FZ09 and the 1125R

That Buehl is cool! V&H engine too.
Full confession, I've only ridden a few old school Harleys, but the one I got to ride for about 40 miles was an Eric Buehl 1984 FXR. It vibrated like he'll until you got up to about 80mph, then it smoothed out. I couldn't have ridden it much further.
One guy I worked with bought one of the last non currents, way back for cheap. Never got to ride it, but it was Harley engined.

The Rotax motor is smooth, but has that nasty V-twin sound. It's a WIDE bike

Got the new Hinson clutch pack installed. Every bolt that comes off, gets polished before it goes back on.

Waiting on USPS to find my gasket and oil seals for the alternator side, so I can button that up.

They actually delivered... Finally back in one piece!

My son rides the same bike...

Starting to be anxious to take the old girl out... probably a month or so away now.
