Gixxus Christ!

Not sure it will go down at all without some help. New job is kicking my ass pretty good. I really want to do this again this year but will need some volunteers to pull it off. April seems like a wash with a lot of people having other trips planned so maybe early may?

Sat on a c14 today. 08, 30k miles, $4900. Can't help but consider this bike for price alone. I flip. I flop. Till I ride some of these bikes I can't really make a decision but I could probably grab this bike cash in 6 weeks vs finance a gsxs1000 for a few years. I withhold judgment until I take some rides, but this Connie felt so nice....

Need alpinestars gpx gloves in black, size large, and the tinted visor I never got with my bell race star helmet.

Me too... I'll see how busy work is when we get closer to april.

Provided I don't start drinking as soon as you show up....assuming I'll even have it this year.

Gsxs1000f most likely. Was looking at vfr1200 but the zook has better ergos, same power, weighs a lot less, has better brakes, bigger tank...I'm still gonna drag my balls across as many bikes as I can before making a purchase tho.

Real fucked up.

REDUCED!!! $2000 Upgrading this year and the stables are full. Wondering what I can get for my old zook. This bike is far from stock, but I have all the parts to put it back that way. Motor mods: Gsxf1100 cams Yosh pipe K&n ovals Jetted halfway to your mom's house 5° advance key Pair delete Suspension/brake mods: Sonic springs rated for fat fucks Racetech gold valves Busa rear shock New seals and oil New front pads New stainless lines up front New fluid all around Billet rear brake torque arm, says 'bandit Other shit: Flush mounts up front Clear alternatives integrated tail light Fender delete Rear hugger NRC cases LED flashers on rear peg hangers Dash button for garage door opener RAM mount for giant phone Pro grips Neato bar ends Fake pazzo levers Stickers HID headlight kit New AGM battery Fresh oil and filter Newer plastics. Bike fell off trailer last fall when a strap broke at a red light. Bike has been down a few times with me on it, both times were low speed, 20 mph or less. Also has givi tour pack, huge top case with hard bags. Rack bolts on/off in about 10 min. Has conti motions on it that have lots of tread left but are getting old according to date code It's a fast bike. Haven't had it on a dyno but should be putting 120-ish to the wheel according to what other guys get with the same mods. Gobs of torque everywhere and pulls hard as fuck from 6.5k to Red line. Comfortable enough for all day rides, capable of doing some serious damage in the twisties. I think it's got about 27k on it. Valves were adjusted when I put the cams in about 6k miles ago. Screw and nut tappets, takes an hour tops, easy as it gets. Will be ready to sell in time for riding season.

Go to a forum that specializes in your bike and see what people are using. Note that a 140 mikuni jet isn't the same size as a 140 dynojet jet. There are charts online to help you with that. Dynojet kits work fine but you pay $100 for $20 worth of parts. The other $80 is for the time they spent figuring out what range of jets will support what mods. I'm not familiar with the daves mod, but I suspect it's to correct the lean condition all factory carbs are set at to improve cold idle and warm up times. If you're just putting on a pipe, I'd personally start with one size up on main jets and maybe shim the needle, run it and see where it's at. Jets are cheap and since you only have 1 carb on an xr, it will be very cheap, but if you are going to just buy jets, hit a forum dedicated to your bike and soak up some more specialized advice.

July 2 is the Ohio riders track day. Lots of us will be there.

Those panniers are pretty sharp. I need to ride so many bikes.....

Then you should let me take it for a spin. Only drawback I see is no factory luggage option, but if I love the bike enough to buy it I can slap some fabric saddle bags on it and use my tank bag. Maintenance has got to be easier compared to the vfr1200 and it weighs like 150 lbs less with the same power to the wheel. Not many of them out there used tho, so I'd be dropping $8500 for a new 2016 model from a stealership.

Wow. This is definitely a contender. Watching YouTube reviews now and I like what I see.

Unicorn bike? It's not as if I'm looking for something that doesn't exist. I'm looking for the right sport tourer for me. I don't have any interest in adv bikes, so not looking for one. Excuse me for trying to keep the thread I started on topic.

M44 was the carbine, not as good for sniper work as the 98/33 or whatever the rifle version is called. But yes, I'm a Russian sniper.

$80 mosin m44. Anything is a handgun if you're not a pussy.

And just like that it's turned into adv mutual masturbation thread.

A pez dispenser makes my peepee look bigger. My wife married me for my personality.... Jesus, why did she marry me at all?

Yeah, haven't seen this one, was referring to the previous uggers. Still not interested in adv style, prefer street style for commute, weekends and track day. This is the best I've seen a dl look tho.

Dont care for the strom. Ugly as fuck.

Oh I'm leaning heavily toward the her, just need to ride it.

Vfr also puts a lot more power to the pavement. Ninja 1000 puts down numbers very similar to my nodded bandit 1200 and weighs more.

Some models had issues with stators, voltage regator/rectifier and associated wiring. Not sure about the vfr1200, I think they would have sorted it by now, then again it was a problem with the 80's v4 bikes and they hadn't fixed it on the 6th gen interceptor yet....still, easy fix if you know it's an issue.

Well the rest of my bike is at my dad's right now, so even after I get the forks back together it will be a while before I can bounce it.

Judging by the look of the fork oil just changing that would have been a drastic improvement.
