Another reason to get a non-Japanese bike. https://flipboard.com/@flipboard/-motorcycle-thefts-rise-nationwide--agai/f-20b6f2b4e1%2Flatimes.com

Yeah, I don't even know. heh Here's a stock vs modded Super Duke review. They didn't change anything about the riding position. http://www.visordown.com/features/road-tests/first-rides/track-review-ktm-1290-super-duke-r

One thing though. Would the riding position of the Super Duke work on a track? It seems slightly more relaxed than a Ninja 650 even. (Looking at a 2014 Super Duke on cycle-ergo.) I've been considering getting different handlebars for the Ninja 650 because it's a little too upright for me in turns or anytime I tuck a little.

It does seem to meet all the requirements. Sounds like something I'd be afraid to have in gear, so, perfect! And now the orange helmet comes into play? haha

That explains the dilemma. So, a powerful twin or triple with handlebars? But it could be Japanese still? What about something custom? Maybe totally jump ship and get an electric! An electric H-D even! (Running away, fearing for my life!)

How about a GSX-S1000Z? I'm guessing it's in a totally wrong category.

Yeah, boy! The sad thing is, I can be indecisive over the smallest things, yet if it's complex enough I'll just give up and either make a choice or defer to someone else. Like on the fine details of knee surgery. heh At least I'm not affected while on the road.

You'll never catch up to me! At least I think that's true. Maybe not.

Eh, it's the thing these days. Can never tell anymore.

I think I would either just pull over and wait for the vehicle to get further down the road, or just take another road and get lost and see some new places. heh

How do I get in?

With windscreen even.

All the smart guys would be there! Plus women know more about colors anyway?

Another thing I need to learn about: Sales. If someone has $20k and wants a new bike, sell a new bike! Better yet, up-sell!

OK, I finally learned this! Final answer: Choose your own GD bike! Yeah? ^_^

Innocence lost. heh Maybe it's what I need anyway. I get stuck in a meaningless loop sometimes. hehe

It doesn't exist. You imaged it. Honestly, I was about to place an order, but got hung up on the last consideration: color. So I thought a few opinions would fix that. Like good and bad reviews, people tend to speak up about what they love or hate so I thought it would be painless. Wrong again! haha Maybe this forum could use a noob-friendly section where silly, basic questions are OK? A safe, happy place? haha

Choose your own GD tires? heh My tendency would be to look for which recommended tires have good rebates. Then I would spend weeks comparing those. haha

Disco ball would be all colors and highly reflective. Valid.

I'd rather have a person like that in front of me instead of behind me where he could run into me. I wouldn't see him coming the way my mirrors are.

So, the point of asking was to see what other people would like when offered limited options. I guess there are only two main factors; visibility for safety or just liking the way it looks. That shiny primer grey though, reminds me of so many muscle cars I used to see that were supposedly going to be painted one day. Usually ended up rusting first.

That was the first bike that came to mind. I only know that it's fast, cost a lot, and looks nice. Seems to meet the requirements.

Hello? I only know how to look for used bikes in the $2500 to $4500 range. I haven't ridden far, fast, or on a track. (I do want to get on a track one day.) I did give a ride to some cat food today! And the answer is white so my head will glow, although I really like orange.

Layers coming apart doesn't surprise me. Gluing it back together shouldn't be a problem. It might work without being bonded together as long as the layers stay aligned. I've seen photos of "molecular" armour cracking which is more of a surprise.

Referring to the M7 RR's... Cr*p. I was counting on the promise of wet weather handling. The main reason I wanted to replace my original 5-year-old Road Smart II's. Plus maybe a sportier profile. Then again, I have yet to ride that hard anyway.
