Well, as bikes start to feel more like kitchen appliances, of course more women will start riding...

In all seriousness, most women riders are much better than the avg mid 20s sportbike owner. Hopefully this will improve our rep too.

Ex Gen 2 675r owner... the triumph will be easier to live with. The 899/959 is sexier for sure. My 899 experience was much comfier than my 675 and felt better balanced f/r. The standard showa felt softer and less sprung than the R. 899 seat was MUCH softer and more comfortable, pegs felt lower as well. Motor felt much…

Yeah that sounds like pretty much every car forum I’ve visited. Motorcycle forums are slightly better at this, unless there is a stunt section, the level of stupidity there is excessive to read.

Best advise I’ve been given is to use a measuring band and get the exact circomfrence for your head and avoid guessing and “testing” helmet sizes. So many times new helmets feel great in a Medium on my head and just loosen enough after bedding and especially after washing the cheek pads that I really should have been…

If you just wanted to repost XCAR’s video, then you could have sasved yourself the terrible title.

If pure=basic then no.

Uhm... this ^ takes balls. Going round in a well protected cage is not any more ballsy in my book than cycling down a really steep alpine pass.

I’ve been tempted to smash a few mirrors belonging to cagers which didn’t use them and genuinely were violating traffic laws and putting my life in danger... but saner thoughts prevailed... especially since everyone carries some weapon of sorts here in Texas.

This guy will eventually meet his match and from looking at…

It wouldn’t make a difference weather he was in a porsche or a Koenigsegg, he cant outrun a radio, especially with the amount of traffic on that road.

Put that system on the SMC R and sell it in the states!

We never get the good stuff over here..

I hope that tuning the suspension “specifically” means that it is much better shock and spring internals than the mt-09. A radial master cyclinder wouldn’t be much to ask for in 2016. Otherwise, exciting machine to go against the triumph and that italian brand that women like...

P.S. I hate the hipster helmets in…

Yeah, regardless of car journalists actually think, this thing will sell like crazy in upscale suburbia. It’s just a status thing. That’s all.

Obviously folks at subaru have never ridden a supermoto...

I was really, really hoping for a more radical redesign, weight reduction, chassis and motor change. The current bike was always very good, and reliable and comfy... i just wished it was a bit more nimble and lighter.. don’t want electronics aids, or fancy electronic suspension... just more track-ready brute.. :)

Marquez is not exactly a flower with known history of close contact... Rossi has never been a gentleman close-contact rider either.

5th. With the additon of mobile OS for infotainment, the security vulnerabilities will increase drastically. The attack vectors will become much larger, and it won’t pretain to just vehicle systems, but potentially to all synced devices and comms used. I’m not aware of existing standard to regulate security controls…

I’m not certain on exact size. It’s using an old airforce airfield in Dolna Mitroplia which is near Pleven.

I’m from Pleven, the track is great, but getting to track outside of the city is not really accomodating for an internation event. It’s a technical and dangerous track due to the speed at which the jumps can be taken. There has been 2 deaths as far as I’m aware. If organizers make smarter investments and make access…
