I'm a big guy on a 600 as well and I have conti's on mine. I dont have any wear issues and run my tires at 42 and 36 psi. I also made sure the load was adjusted on the suspension for my weight.

Us big dudes wear out tires quicker. More weight inevitably means more wear.

Make sure the pressure stays above 30 and you'll get the most life.

Putnam with MCRA/IndyDucati is VERY full.

Live near water? A boat?

Train?

Tractor trailer horn?

Some redneck with a boat horn on his truck?

Suzuki rep does not yet know what models will be on the demo truck. As soon as I have the list I'll post it.

All street bikes, no off-road, but I'm sure there will be dual sports.

I guess I should specify; I'm interested in the GSX1250.

Thanks!

Where can we find a list of models available to test ride?

I'm inclined to agree with Drew^

They aren't bursting with character and aren't exactly super exciting, but they'll cruise at 80 all day and maintenance is super smooth. All she needs is oil and tires.

If its a 190/55, than like they said its taller than a 180.

Ass-up nose-down turns in quicker, and you essentially raised the rear a bit.

A literbike would have more power, be more reliable and probably end up being much lighter weight.

You should still take it to DTM for a tune though.

The BRP looks awesome, thats a great view!

Awesome adventure, great pictures, sounded like good company. Doesn't get much better than all that!

How often do you do spirited riding in twisties?

I'll be at G&J Kartway in Camden on wednesday turning some laps on the motard. If you get bored roll up there! Expecting ~1pm-dark

Welcome man. You have quite a plethora of riders in the greater cincinnati area.

Northern Kentucky also has some of the best roads in a 250 mile radius!

I'm not a fan of large groups...bikes or cars.

Amen bud.

That is killboy isn't it?

TuneECU is pretty awesome once you figure it out.

Play with it a lot BEFORE you hook up your bike. Get comfortable with it all, what all the spreadsheets/numbers/ratios mean, etc. Its a fantastic built-in feature for Triumphs that more bikes should've come from the factory with.

Makes me want a dirt setup for the XR!

I have both, they fit pretty much identical.

RF-1100 has more ventilation, but the Qwest is much cheaper.

The Qwest is definitely for oval heads.

I'm very oval headed, and the Qwest fit very comfortably.

I've got an RF1100 now, same shape and very comfortable, with a little more airflow.

Pretty sure I saw this heading into lebanon awhile ago.

You have mostly black gear don't you?

What incredible pieces of nearly useless engineering.

Haven't followed any, but I definitely enjoy watching.

This brings up a past memory from right around 2002 or 2003. Back then I was using the car dyno to dyno bikes. The shaft on the drums would split so I could dyno using 1 drum. I remember one day dynoing a few harley bikes and one bone stock busa. The HD owners could not believe their eyes when they saw a stock busa lay down 150 hp.

And to think 150 horsepower is... low for a 2010+ flying couch. Good story lol.

The downside of owning a 675 and a sumo...

You can never return to 'normal' sportbikes.

That thing looks HEAVY.

That thing also has more power than my old Jeep..

How do you get fuel in there?

That is just what I was curious about.

I support both installments, speed limit increase and left lane passing.

Just noticed the sponsor is a family friend.
