Looking for a new bike. Motorcycle guys step in.

Save up. Get a Vrod. Of the 5 bikes I’ve owned two were vrods. 1250cc, forward controls, high revving, and hard highway pulls. Could prob find an 1130cc in your budget but miles will be high.

Was just never a huge fan of the styling of them to be honest. I had a 103ci Dyna, and that’s probably what I would buy if I was going that route again. The budget is also moreso about putting a “value” on the hobby. If I have a $4,000 bike that will lose maybe a grand in value over the next five years, I don’t feel bad if it sits for a month while I’m busy. One thing I’ve learned having nice things and not so nice things is if I don’t use the shit out of something I don’t want to pay much for it.

What is this thing? I kinda like it. It’s a Yamaha, looking for the model.

That's a mt07. Great bike

It’s from the mt line there’s an mt07 09 and 10 the 10 has a r1 motor on it detuned to 160ish hp

MT03 is a naked R3
MT07 is a naked r6 with a larger motor
From what i read and I heard great things about them both

 

[bikrboy128]

MT07 it a parallel twin, MT09 is a 3 cylinder, MT10 is a crossplane 4 cylinder.

I've never been a fan of the anemic parallel twins, but the inline-triples can be some fun (i.e. Triumph Speed Triple). They have a great exhaust sound when they're uncorked.

Yeah usually twins suck, but the mt07 has that sweet 270* crank. That gives it a totally different feel/power band vs a standard twin.

I was on a mt10 before I bought my bmw, it was a nice bike, the whole line up are supposed to be wheelie machines

This one was the twin for sure. Sounded fucking wicked.

I absolutely LOVED my FZ-07 (later renamed to MT-07). Super light and nimble, was an amazing bike for my commute in the city. And yes that cross plane parallel twin sounds great with a pipe on it.

Was going to recommend one but based off what was being posted I thought you were looking for more the bobber/cruiser look.

The mt07 is a blast to ride. It's so lightweight, plus the short wheelbase makes it a wheelie machine.

I recently bought a 2020 KTM Adventure 390. It's a great little bike. Currently getting 62mpg, and I don't ride it gently. I hope to get out there with 1MEANGT this year for a couple single track trips.

It's got surprising power for it's displacement, and it's really light and nimble. The cool dash and LED headlight are nice perks. The price tag was awesome too.

300mi on so far.

Looks pretty ridiculous next to Bricher's Harley though.

Oh damn gurl I like that. I guess I'm just scared I'm going to outgrow the smaller displacement bikes too quickly.

I went from "a 250cc is fine" to looking at liter bikes with the quickness.

 

[Outlaw]

I like the adventure bikes a lot, I guess I just don't want anything oversized and bulky like a lot of them. I've got short legs so most of the adventure bikes I've ridden have been a bit on the tall side for me to be comfortable personally.

Rottweiler performance is the go to, for all ktm and husky performance upgrades

And congrats on the new bike

My last bike was a mt/fz10. It was dumb. That's get ded power I couldn't trust myself with.

Bike before that was a ktm 500 exc-f, which even in motard dress, didn't do it for me.

This bike just feels more refined and surprisingly fast. I won't feel bad taking it out in the mud or dirt, and it's got all the features you'd want.

Factory Quickshifter+ add on is on order too. Up and down!

Swing by and take it for a ride of you want, Frank!

I felt about 27 different kinds of inadequate the day I saw you and the boys at WHD But hoping I still get a chance to get a trip with ya. What does your bike inventory look like nowadays?

Doesn't matter what you ride man. Just that you ride.

Just have the Street Glide and the KTM. Sold everything else when I bought the Glide.
