The later. The idea being the 19" size offers more DUAL USE rubber options than the stock 17" size.

I would ride this.

Yes, but a light, narrow, small ADV bike with the geometry and suspension of a supermoto.

sorry, not sorry ;)

Find me one for sale in decent condition for less than the cost of a new 701 Supermoto (including shipping, since i won’t find one in the US) and I’ll buy it.... hell find me one FOR SALE, period.

ADV bikes should be 700cc or smaller. I have a BMW F650 (first gen carb’d 1997) and its the RIGHT size. You’re right, the point is that they are “do everything” bikes, but the big machines are really much more like a Yukon Denali XL, while a smaller bike like mine is closer to an XJ Cherokee. Sure, it’s not as…

I bought a refurb dc07 from big lots 12 years ago. Still works perfectly, still sucks better than any vacuum I’ve ever owned. Its big and bulky compared to current models, but it's awesome, and if it ever dies I will absolutely buy another Dyson. As I tell people "its the best too-much-money I ever spent on a…

Thank you.

“terrrrible” is a relative term... yes, they are kind of fat and not very powerful and don’t have top-shelf suspension and brake components, but they don’t SUCK the way a traditional Harley does, they’re just kinda meh, except for the looks. They look FANTASTIC though.

I keep waiting for these things to become small and light enough for passenger cars...

but you buy a bike like this for looks anyway, and the Guzzi has those, boy does it ever....

I’m an obsessive handbrake user, and I know exactly the marks you mean. I think its just dust... $400 all up is actually quite chew for OEM brake parts (unless you are used to dealing with GM), and although the factory pads are indeed dust-tastic, I like the feel and performance. I have used Hawks before and the just…

I got Ford OEM from the local dealer (Heritage Ford, Burlington Vermont) I have a noise issue with my rear rotors too. It appears to be getting something stuck or built-up between the rotors and the dust guards. Every time I look I can’t see a damn thing, and it goes away quickly, but its annoying.

This past fall... October. Had all the pads and rotors in three days. (all four wheels)

really? I had no trouble getting brake parts.

The Japanese manufacturers send all their most boring models to the US. Sometimes it seems like they’re still trying to compete against 70's-80's GM in the entrenched American Or Else market, when even GM has moved on to trying to compete with the Koreans and affordable Germans... Mazda still tries in the US, but they…

too expensive.

Thats exactly my point. The REALLY good pilots aren’t DOING racing, at least not yet...

Kid’s got a fast drone (the climb rate on that thing is ridiculous), and good reflexes, but he’s rough. I dont race, so I may be talking out my ass, but I have seen smoother flying on youtube and in person. He over-cooks that hairpin almost every time... I think this may be a case of “new sport” not being…

Wait, so is it FWD? because if it were RWD that would be EVEN WACKIER.
