All right. It's Saturday night; I have no date, a two-liter bottle of Shasta and my all-Rush mix-tape... Let's rock.

It’s a xsr900 but cooler basically

Kawasaki needs to reintroduce the gpz imo

Yeah like A MIRACLE said, XSR900 but with fairings

The upper is stock with the GP version, the lower is optional for more $$$ (but is it really "optional"?) And it ain't for sale in North America. Yet. I hope.


I was really hoping that ZX7R body kit some Spaniards did for the Z900RS was going to light fires under asses and get some 90s retro sportbikes going, but so far all that's happened is Kawi did the green/blue/white color scheme on their current faired bikes for the 40th anniversary of "Ninja".

What about the XSR versions? You pay more but you get a motorcycle that looks like a motorcycle and not like something Shockwave picked out of his belly button

The XSR900 is basically a modern 3 cylinder version of my 919 so that's out, and the 700 is still over 400lbs. I was looking at those before I got the 919 though.

Hypermotard?

I'd actually been considering these, how are the older ones for reliability? There's one on marketplace with pictures of $6k in dealer work for random poo poo which isn't really confidence inspiring. I don't think those receipts are the selling point the seller thinks they are.

You could probably get a brand new klx300sm for the same price. Maybe too much crossover with the 125 but I think they’re cool

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack


i know bad luck befalls everyone and any brand can be a lemon, but since a buddy of mine first rode the pagianaleialele 4v4r44 or whatever he bought two months ago, it has been in the shop the entire time. first ride after the ink was dry on the deal it started puking oil on the freeway. apparently the dealership broke two parts in the process of fixing the first issue, (clutch cover and the other i forget) with each issue requiring waiting on parts from The Old Country. the very first thing that happened after he got it back? left mirror fell off lmao

That sounds pretty unusual, and a bit like the guy whose bike kept shedding its fairing every time he took it on the road.

It’s extra funny when it happens to a bike that costs more than a new Lexus and is supposed to be “the best bike available”

Ended up making a deal I couldn't resist for a one year old 890 with 1200 miles. +1 for having a trailer and being able to scoop cheap bikes immediately when spotted. Takes some of the sting out of the bath I took selling the Zero.

Is this a fake ad?

https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/mcy/d/fort-bragg-2022-zero-fxe-supermoto/7739810460.html



The image doesn't show up for me on a reverse image search, and 8750 is not an unrealistically low asking price. But there's only a single picture, two lines of text, and it's the "most fun bike I've ever owned" and he's only ridden it a single time in two years? 43 miles total? What?

Just ask for the VIN and if they have the title in hand? That should tell you what kind of seller you're dealing with.

"Why are you selling it" is also a logical next question.

Just show up with the money and get ready to leave if red flags come up. But sometimes people don't give a poo poo and will sell you something real cheap for absolutely no reason. You just have to be there fast enough to grab it.

There was a period of time where Honda were doing good poo poo on bikes and cars, this is the S2000 dash which imo, is also perfect.

It amuses me that both of those vehicles have the same cylinder capacity but the I4 is the one that's down-tuned for torque and longevity

In the US market that was the case, everywhere else got the 9k redline. There's one sat in my workshop waiting for me to trace an electrical issue. Very good car and needs to be revved to the moon to 'get it'.
