Per @NinjaDoc 's request the thread has been moved.

😂 thank you 

Is there any mods that will move this to the right section. No respect for rules and etiquette in this place.

On an unrelated note, if I have the tire by then may be in for the shenanigans. 

And on another note, since this was posted up in open public with bolivar as the spot I have a feeling this is going to become a mini dream bomb if the weather is going to hold up as good as it’s doing now 😆 

Close to a decade ago same place around same time looks a lot different with 90% of the folks not active anymore 

I always fear this is what’s going to happen to me if I keep riding lol 

Thought cornering abs will be the next upgrade to safety net. May be not.

Good call fellas. I’ll see what I can find. 

ebay ones durable and cheap // these are bit more fancy ones if your into those https://kathysmotorcyclebags.com/

@FatWilbur @Skinny guy only the beamy boys left standing. You guys should still link up and ride. I can foresee a Bavarian broship blooming beautifully. 

The day looks so beautiful, I wish I could ride. 

Skinny, you have reset your riding preference in the last few months, I don’t think you realize it yet lol, the speed setting everything is reset not like when we first met. Your a Mach retard hooligan now.  You be fine, you will keep up. 

Wish I could, but working. And need a tire soon. 

@FatWibur awesome, thx for the detailed review. I just came across the 2017+ R during my research into bikes with cornering abs and light weight. The vibration seems to be the prime complaint about this bike it seems. I thought the 2017+ they were fixed. Good choice with RR, respect for trying to stick to SS riding position at 50+ age.

Not me... I was down south today on 83/78/550/26/800.  I have the Red/White/Blue paint scheme.  I do like the red though.  Almost all of the first batch to hit the US back in June where like mine.

very nice, 

how was the 2017 s1000R for you ? was it reliable and comfortable since more upright? How does it compare to these new RR

Good day of riding, nice to see all the folks before the season ended. That was prolly my last one for the season as I don’t see another opening till October. If it’s at least 50+ I will venture out below that just too much for my tropical blood. I was lucky the tires barely lasted till the return journey home  need new tires and oil changed and prolly back to the tender it goes or sell it hehe. 

@FatWibur  

was that you and your friend we ran across in Cadiz? Hard to believe there would be two new 2020 RR in that small radius of living of canal Fulton 

Nice, I am guessing this is the bike you did an exhaust for after a loooong time right? I gather you really like it   

2019 apparently comes with akra?

Nice, Is that hanger with rear peg? Unable to take rear peg off or I gonna go with custom hanger for it?

The motor is plenty capable.  It needs to be revved, but is happy at high rpms.  The spring rates are softer on the Z400.  Not sure if the gearing is the same or not.  I looked at them both.

The reviews on the Ninja 400 seem to be a bit better so that's what I went with.   While the looks are sport bike, the riding position is definitely sport tourer.

I am so used to upright position now, even on the tracer I put risers on top   that’s the way I am trying to cheat on my left hand cornering issue. Instead of unlearning and learning the right way. When ever I turn hard left handers I end up pressing on top of the left handle bar instead of pushing it. (If that makes any sense) when I raise the handlebars high I stopped doing it and pushes it 😂

With bikes like the CBR500 and Ninja400... the appeal of a GROM is lost on me. 

Exactly, ninja400 is where you can draw a line I guess on how low vs practicality. 650 is a slight step up grom is a step down

Full of fuel it weighs 361.  I can get it down to 345 with just a slipon and lithium battery & removing passenger pegs and tool kit.

I could probably get it close to 335 if I was willing to throw more $$ and time at it...spoiler alert:  I'm not  😄

I been eying the z version for some time when I migrated from the thought that grom will be impractical for us neo guy. But was not sure about the power plant and package etc. when you are giving such stellar review I am really tempted to give this a try 😆

good old days, wish i could working tonight tomorrow  tomorrow night blaaaaah 

ride safe , beautiful day not to be wasted
