Bike Talk / A Kawasaki bike thread - turns out not…..
October 17, 2022, 10:02:54 PM
So after a miserable couple of months including a large 4 figure uninsured vets bill to fix a new puppy and funding a first family holiday in nearly 4 years something had to give.

That something was the KTM sadly. With bills paid off I have about £8k (maybe stretch to £9k) to replace it.

I really liked the grunt (160bhp) so don't want to compromise on that. I really liked the comfort (heated seat and grips very old man). I really liked the centre stand (never thought I'd hear myself say those words in my early 30s). I really liked the QS. I really liked the riding position.

So the short list to replace is a DVT Multistrada 1200S, a 2015/16 S1000XR or right out of left field there seems to be reasonable deals on the newer Ninja 1000SX.

It needs to be comfortable. It'll only be used for commuting.

Those who have ridden / owned one - what's the SX like??

Ninjaforce / Bexhill-on-Sea

Any south coast Ninjas close by?

EBay seller (Alpinestars boots) refuses to send. They are a bargain. Anyone close enough to collect for me and send on for beer money?

Thanks

Bike Talk / Free Motorcycle Live Tickets
November 29, 2021, 07:03:59 PM
Evening Ninjas.

I've got two anyday tickets for Motorcycle Live I can't use anymore. They only cost me £4.50 admin fee.

They are downloadable via a code and email link.

Anyone want them? A donation to charity would be all I ask for them.

Anyone?

Missing grunt.

Really struggling to resist one of these ☹️

Reviews are awesome but it's soooooo expensive.

Man maths to the rescue again?

Bike Talk / What’s your next bike then?
August 19, 2021, 12:32:04 PM
Had mine a couple of months. Time to think what next...... 😬🥸

What d'ya fancy?

I think either a Multistrada V4 or a used Streetfighter V4S.

If I enjoy my year on the Tiger (just missing a bit of shove really) I think the Multistrada might win.

Bike Talk / BMW S1000XR - discuss
April 27, 2021, 06:29:57 AM
Anyone had one?

I've decided I want something that will summer commute but still has all the toys (QS etc).

The 765RS just isn't a commuting bike.

Has anyone had an XR? Do I want one?

Bike Talk / Can’t decide
July 08, 2020, 06:58:45 AM
Some of you would have seen on FB.

I am in a real dilemma. 2020 Street Triple 765RS or 890R Duke.

I just can't decide.

KTM - superior chassis with sublime reviews. Cheaper finance @ 4.9%. Local dealer has one being held for me as they are very limited in numbers. His deal includes free first service, Evotech tail tidy and cruise control retro-fitted as part of the package. Bike is RRP. Bad: lots of reports of the bike being unreliable - one engine failure and lots of oil leaks just like the 790 had.

Triumph - chassis not as good but I much prefer the triple engine. £450 discount offered off list but preferred colour (silver grey) not available from the factory immediately. Awaiting a delivery time to be confirmed. Better built could be argued. Much better dash and neater heated grips solution. Finance more expensive @ 7.9% and no negotiations yet about first service cost etc etc.

Both local dealers. I could look further afield but can't be arsed with the rigmarole to be honest. I feel more loyal to the KTM dealer but have dealt with both extensively in the past.

No part ex issues - I don't have a bike at the moment.

The indecision is actually making any excitement about getting a new bike shrink to fuck all.

Any thoughts here?

Bike Talk / CMC in Chesterfield

Anyone dealt with them?

Any good?

They have a nice bike advertised (May even be sold) but just wondered if they are reliable (dealer, not bike).

Misc For Sale / BMW i3 REx
May 26, 2020, 02:26:59 PM
I'm so impressed with my foray into EV ownership I'm going to upgrade to a newer i3S full EV.

I suspect current atmosphere won't see me selling privately but I'll give it a go.

In short if you want an awesome fun car that will cost between 0.1p and 2p per mile with a realistic EV only range of 90 - 140 miles together with acceleration performance of a warm hatch look no further.

Range Extender generator adds another 100-140 miles to that range (at about 40mpgs so not at all bad for a petrol) indefinitely.

I'm so impressed with it. Message me for more.

2017 (67 plate) BMW i3 Range Extender For Sale

£20,995

25,000 miles

2 previous owners. Full BMW history.

NOT subject to the luxury car tax as list price was just below £40,000 when new.

Next service due Oct 2021

BMW i3 94Ah Range Extender
Fluid Black with grey cloth interior

Spotless 19" Turbine alloys

Good tyres - lots of tread left but have two brand new fronts that can be included with the car if the price is right.

Immaculate in and out. Fastidiously looked after and detailed.

BMW AUC warranty until Jan 21.

Genuine reason for sale. Any inspection welcome

Bike Talk / 2020 steed

Considering trading the Superduke whilst the trade-in price is still reasonable with the new model out.

Great bike - just a bit lardy. Bit like me.

Considering a new 890R with QS+ and track pack fitted. Hopefully the changes to it address all the issues I had with the 790.

Bike Talk / 2020 plans
September 26, 2019, 01:04:17 PM
So I'm considering a change for 2020 (no shock). I've enjoyed the Daytona 675 so much since I got it that I'm keen on a newer model.

The KTM is awesome but a bit raw. I wouldn't miss it if it went.

So options are:

Sell both and acquire an older 675R model and an older 765 Street RS.

Sell both and buy a 2017 S1000R Sport (liked my older one) and a newer Daytona 675R model.

Wait for the new 765 Street RS and see if  I can get an older 675R with the "change"

Bike Talk / New Lid Time
July 10, 2019, 08:31:11 AM
My Arai is now 11 yrs old.

I'm thinking Shoei as well as Arai as they have changed their shell shape in recent years and they now appear to fit me of the couple of new ones I've tried on. 

Who wears a Shoei? Which model? Any recommendations? Budget of about £400.

Bike Talk / B1H or P8F ZX6R?
June 07, 2019, 07:11:58 PM
Couple of bikes for sale close to me at the moment.

One is an 09 p8f 600 with a paint gouge in the tank but he's offered it to me at a very nice price.

The other is a totally standard black B1H - similar money.

Both have about 20k mileage.

Obviously my heart says B1 as they are the finest ZX6R ever made but the p8f is very pretty and I hear a total track weapon.

Fancy something completely different to my KTM for Oulton Park fun and moving forward.

Anyone ridden both? Will the lack of tonque in the 09 piss me off?

I'm being "encouraged" to go on 24 March.

Anyone else wanna meet up? Al, Iain, Peej, Dan???

I'd like to look for a textile suit. Anyone who's been before before, is there any decent trade stands??
