Mine is 7 years old and about 625 lbs as it is setup right now. Riding technique is also going to affect how tires wear. Last time I had tires cup was probably 20 sets of tires and about 10 motorcycles ago. When you brake in relation to a corner, if you rely on engine braking, cornering technique, and throttle control are also going to play a role in how tires wear.

My bike is nearly as heavy with more HP, I believe. I tend to ride it somewhat aggressively. I can get 6k out of a set of tires with even wear.

bike Suzuki Bandit 600, Great Condition F/S or F/T

Good. I was considering it, and I don't need another. -
In progress

This bike is nicely setup for touring it has lockable hard bags, backrest, and windshield. Plenty of power for cruising 2 up. Stock except for a V&H slip-on (comes with stock also). The ONLY thing it will need is a new rear tire in the next 1-2k...new rear tire comes with the bike. It currently has about 11k on the odo. It is extremely clean and has been properly maintained. I have it on CL for $4,400 and will listen to offers.

On the birghtside, Tool is pretty bad ass. Add some weed to that, and you'll really be onto something.

Bodyguard is sold. ***Edit*** Also sold - How about $400 for the SR45?

A small number of bandit 400s were imported. I believe 1991-1993. It kind of looked like a Ducati with the red trellis frame. That little bike was a blast to toss into corners. -

I used to own a Bandit 400. One of the few bikes I regret selling. -
This is my political opinion for today

If HD renames the Sportster to the Trumpster, I would totally buy one.

The supersport seems like a supersport tourer to me. That's pretty much how I had my 600rr setup.

Bleeding the brakes on my VFR will be a pita.

Very few use belts. There's a couple BMWs. There's a practical HP limit, belts are more expensive to develop, and you can't easily change the gearing. ...but they are basically maintenance free, and a zero slack drive is a wonderful thing. Honestly the belt drive is the one thing I miss about my Buells.

Idk, I thought the XB had more cornering capability. The belt drive was just fantastic unless you wanting to change gearing.

Were the new Street Triples there? There's a new one with ohlins.

I would guess that a bike intended for new riders intentionally has little initial bite.

How was the EBR booth? Too soon?

The best motorcycle that Erik ever developed was the XB9. It was simple, reliable, and had just enough performance to be entertaining. I've owned 2 of them. The XB12 barely had more power, but revved slower and the engine had a shorter service life. The 1125r had a design flaw in the charging system that killed an otherwise good motorcycle (I filed a lemon law claim and won). EB came very close a few times, but never had the commercial success he was after.

I've said it before.... He's and innovative engineer, but he's also stubborn and a terrible businessman.

Since you seem to have forgotten what you were disagreeing about in the first place... Again, I assumed Trump meant that money collected by US Customs in the form of tarrifs on products made in Mexcio would be used to fund the wall.

It depends on what you want it for. They were marketed as supersports, but they are not proper supersports. It a fine motorcycle in other roles though. The looks don't seem to work for everyone.
