  1. It's almost impossible to get over 84 ft/lbs with a naturally aspirated I4, that why they need to be revvy because they can't compete with torque numbers. I really don't know how this 201 HP bike is going to go through corners yet. The first 200 miles had to be ridden under 7,000 RPM then the next 400 miles had to be ridden under 9,000 RPM. They just told me today that I need to stay under 11,000 RPMs until the bike reaches 1,000 miles, after that I can use it at will all the way to 14,600 RPM. The amount of self control this takes is unbearable.
  2. Can't get to 14,600 RPM with a thumper
  3. I'm just more efficient than the Germans. No need for the spaces, we aren't programing here.
  4. And if I was being too picky I would have been a dick and insisted on M1000XR Competition. I'm just sunshine and rainbows, not a picky dick.
  5. First ride was to the bucket for break-in miles. Ended up on a gravel road trying to make my own detour around the water across 83 south of Coshocton.
  6. Correct. Finished up the breakin miles today and dropped it off to have the revlimiter removed and first service done.
  7. They have had my SXR since last July on consignment, they own it now. I expected that you had been there since July and they told you what I was getting. The answer is almost posted just not in the correct order.
  8. I really wish I knew someone looking for that bike, they are awesome. The only way it could be more awesomer is if it had four cylinders and 400 CC
  9. That was my last bike, you are very warm though
  10. How about another hint. It has the proper number of cylinders.
  11. Nothing is correct yet but the manufacturer has been narrowed down. My stature is an old, fat, hairy man.
  12. Not this time but I will probably go to something more touring for the next bike. (I thought you might actually know the real answer)
  13. Time for everyone's favorite guessing game. I picked it up Monday and will have the break-in miles completed by Wednesday. Rode to the bucket today and will do the same tomorrow. There is a lot of water in the Coshocton area. As of today the 83 warnings are real but the 93 warnings weren't.
  14. This is an accurate summation of my experience riding to Maine as well. Figured because the Appalachians were in Maine that they would have good roads too. Not the case at all but the scenery is beautiful and unique to anywhere else along the Appalachian territory. Vermont and New Hampshire have better roads but you will have to get off of the main drag that looks like a good road. It's hard to plan a good route in the area because what looks like a good road by map is a good road but they are often ruined by traffic. Think Amish country or Helen, Georgia.

    My kid on TV

    Great interview. The Marine Corps is definitely ingrained in him. Knife hand talking and all. Semper Fi
  16. I believe we were purposefully lead down the wrong path.
  17. That's a great choice, the new 750s seems like a fun one too.....
  18. That's way different than my guess at a $276,000 Turbo S
  19. Does this new vehicle happen to have a Turbo?
  20. My guess will be Cayman?
