pattonme Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 If you want a "deal" on a fleet of used '16 S1000R's ring up California Superbike School. The bikes are professionally maintained, new or fresh plastic and every option known to man. $13-15K depending on color and mileage. Ping me if you want more info and I'll post the POC email address and the list of bikes here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkH Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I originally wanted the regular R Nine T as my next bike, but now I might be going with the Pure version. I need to buy a new house this spring and move in, so its not going to happen then, but possibly summer. But the question for me is will I have 4 bikes in my stable or do I need to get rid of one? I visit here at least once a week. Got any questions, ask and I will answer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattonme Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I have 7 bikes. And yes that's crazy but until you get past 5, you're not certifiable. Yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Have 2 friends with Tuono Factories and another with the SDukeR. What a collective sound! Not sure I'd want to ride either w/o the nannies having some control over all that power. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 If it's anything like my buddy's 2009 690 Duke, I suspect you'll be able to tiptoe - maybe ball of one foot. His SuperDuke 1290R is far easier to reach the ground - even with my 28" inseam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm super impressed with the 2017 Street Triple, the RS model especially. I think that, if it had been available when I bought my FZ-07, I would probably be riding one now. But... it's too much like the FZ for me to take a financial dump just to get one, and I'm still really happy with the FZ-07. 2 Why can't left turners see us?

rick Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 The STR was one of the 2 other bikes I was seriously looking at. Not gonna make that swap now, but the bump in displacement would be attractive. Will have to see what the bump in price and fuel consumption winds up being - If it's $12k, the FZ still wins. combine that with the endless list of farkles available for the FZ that might trickle in for the Triumph, well, the FZ still wins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But... it's too much like the FZ for me to take a financial dump just to get one, and I'm still really happy with the FZ-07. Haha I feel the same way. As much as I really want to try another bike (2015 Honda VFR 800) the FZ-07 has done me no wrong. It is a great all around bike and it would be stupid to let it go. Pretty sure the only way I'll be able to get another bike is when the FZ is at 60k+ miles or if someone "unintentionally" runs over it in a parking lot...

This means that Yamaha will be working on a new FZ-07, I guarantee that. 1 Yamaha MT-10 ForumYamaha Tracer 900 Forum Yamaha Ténéré 700 Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
