    i'm trying to get something a bit newer cause my i'm not sure when my 03 rr will get too tired of track duty. i'll keep her as long as I can. although, i might go to an SV650 instead and see if that won't help me with corner speed. thanks for looking. as much as I'd like to yank that 750 out from under neath r1crusher, i'll bide my time. kya
  11. wait there's a track down in west palm?! this opens up many new possibilities and many reasons to go down there moar often. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHHA oh, and i think it's batshit crazy you have 204K miles on your bike. that is amazing!

    i've finally come to my senses and decided i'm too lazy to buy this and go through the hassle of track prepping it again. next sportbike will be from wera board or whatever. need to find me a sumo or dual sport. still not sure yet.
  13. how about something like this? i've been reading people's review of it, and maybe i'm getting the wrong impression of it... http://www.supermotojunkie.com/showthread.php?110546-2006-Husqvarna-SM610-Austin-TX it's a 2006 husky SM610 why can't honda make something like that? lol
  14. hmmm... the CORE guys will leave me for dead if I tried to stop them every 80 miles. can you get a bigger tank for the xr650l?
  15. this puts another spin on things. also, on a different topic, i know weight isn't everything, but how much DOES a very "sporty" sumo weigh? obviously, the frame, suspension, etc all has a huge proponent in it, but something like a wrr or xrr seems to be in the 300lbs range. So, for example, if I found a well built xrr or wr-something (not sure what displacements yet... haven't got that far lol) specifically made for sumo duty, seems like it would be well under 350lbs. is that considered heavy by sumo standards?
  16. well, i JUST got the buell sold, so i haven't been looking long lol well, not seriously looking, anyway
  17. darn. i guess if i get something that can handle a higher tongue weight, i could get one of those handy dandy single bike carrier things.
  18. let me pose the questions this way: I'm not a stranger to naked bikes, as I'm coming from a 1125cr. How much worse is a sumo for being beat up by the wind at higher speeds? here is a 1125cr in case people are not familiar with them. For seat height, I'm about 5'7" with something like a 30-32" in seam. Can I expect to get at least 1 foot down on the ground? or tippy toes with both? Am I going to have to find a step ladder to actually get on the thing? lol as for comfy seats, the street riding we do goes anywhere from 250 - 500 miles of twisties (and minimum of 90 miles of straight roads both ways from my house to SE ohio and back). Am I going to feel like I was doing it with black tod after each ride? I'm guessing I can reupholster the seats myself, but if there are aftermarket seats available, that would be handy to know. Basically, if my 1125cr was like... 100lbs lighter (it weighs about 400lbs dry), I would just have kept it. but sadly, to be in that weight range with nude bikes, i'm looking at sumos and dual sports from the looks of things. just trying to figure out if there was some way to get a sumo to fit the bill, or a dual sport to fit the bill, or a mix of both. This will be my only street bike.

    my 03 has: stock suspension front/back with oil and seals done last year. front has springs for my weight. it's drilled for safety wire? lol full exhaust (it was $400) kn filter track body work damper on the way sliders ss brake lines and 1 season old pads everything else is stock and 19K miles. i think that's it. i might just pick up a prepped race bike that isn't too beat so I don't have to do a whole lot to it at the end of this season. I REALLY need to buy a motard. but on the other hand, I'm sure i could buy this and sell it for at least $1000 more. or I could buy it, sell off the plastics and whatever else crap, and use that money to get it race prepped. lots of options. and the buell is sold, so the cash is in hand.
  20. 1. is there such a thing as a super moto with decent fuel capacity (as in, can go 120+ miles on a tank)? 2. can you get any sort of wind protection on a motard? It doesn't need to be huge and all encompassing, but just enough to block some wind from the helmet while hunched/tucked 3. can you get "comfy" super moto seats? on the other hand, coming from a different perspective a. is there such a thing as a light dual sport that isn't made ONLY for incredibly tall people? Asians (minus yao ming) aren't really well known for being tall. for weight, i'm thinking >350lbs or even less if possible. b. can a dual sport be shod with say... touring street tires like a pilot road 2ct and have decent suspension? c. are dual sports cheap to fix so i'm not so paranoid about dropping it while riding around the roads in SE ohio? I thought I'd get opinions from people who have ridden one or both types of bikes. I'm guessing it's a "get a super moto or a dual sport, numb nuts" but I'm hoping there is a compromise to be made.

    i may have cash from the buell tomorrow morning. if so, i very well may go pick this bitch up if it's still there. getting some opinions on whether this would be a good "upgrade" from the 03 600rr for track duty.
