    It strikes me odd that they went with the waterproof liner with a messenger bag. I would have thought a more briefcase interior would have been more useful. If anything maybe a waterproof laptop case?

    I started when I was 31. So yeah. My first bike was a free Ninja 250.

    What do you think of the R20 vs the Urban?

    Neat. I have been thinking about getting a R20 for commuting (the R25 is cinched all the way down for just my laptop). Before my R25, I used a series of messenger bags for years.

    TIL. Interesting. I’m sure it’s no CB750. It’s still 72hp tho (Ninja 250 is 34hp).

    :-D

    The V-twin dirt track racers are pretty insane too.

    I really want to transplant a CBR250 or 300 motor (which are singles) into a CB160 project in the garage.

    Forgive me. I’m home sick and my brain is not 100%. But counter-counter-point, a beginner would not be well served on many of those inline 4’s which are not superbikes, but still heavy, powerful bikes.

    Forgot about those. Triples == some are insane/others sane. It’s a dividing line. Triumph Speed Triple is insane. And this is for a beginner. I’m not saying superbike riders are insane (although a lot are ;-D)

    Adv bikes are the worst to control and low or no speed. I used to drop my KLR once a month. Usually in the driveway. Dropped KTM Adventure 3 times now, once doing a U-turn at really low speeds, but dropped it really hard.

    Twins and singles == sane, 4 cyl == insane.

    Why I got an Arai Defiant (not a sport bike rider).

    Build an RC390 competitor. Drool. Rode one of those over a the weekend. So much fun.

    Picked up an Arai Defiant about 2 months ago. Brick and mortar dealer was about $20 less than Revzilla.

    I got my old free Ninja 250 up to 90 on the freeway. The things that sucked about it was the ergonomics and the crappy suspension.

    Yep. It’s true. A friend high school did this, and I observed over a few years how his hair line receded.

    Yeah. I heard that. Weird.

    And yours is one of the compliant ones.
