NinjaDoc Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 Nice, I am guessing this is the bike you did an exhaust for after a loooong time right? I gather you really like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gather you really like it Where wisdom and maturity fail, a strict horsepower limit keeps me from doing anything too crazy. Joking, but yeah. I honestly have zero reason to ride any faster than we were on this trip, which got pretty hot at times. The 400 handled that pace just fine. More importantly, it was super fun at that pace...more fun than I ever had pushing the VFR1200. I'm sure it can even be ridden a bit harder when I get more used to it.

The grom is fun down on the dragon and at kart tracks, not so great on regular twisty rides. Currently my grom is -2/+11 and tops out at about 50mph so it's not very practical on the street. It lifts the front wheel a bit when I roll on after shifting into 2nd though 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 (edited) Same. We stayed at a real nice air bnb on 20 near hacker valley. Going to ride eastern Ky in 2 weeks then may plan another trip to that area. So many good roads.

Where the eagles cryOn a mountain high Love lift us up where we de-grom.Far from the world belowUp where the clear winds blow Some hang on to used to beLive their lives looking behindAll we have is here and nowAll our lives, out there to find The road is longThere are mountains in our wayBut we climb a step every day Love lift us up where we de-grom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
