Alright! Now for a chance to show the other bike(s) you currently have.

I'll start.

Cheers!
Awesome GS, I rode one of those briefly and actually enjoyed it more than the KTM ADV. Sweet!

Here is a pic of my oldest buddy. I've had this bike for over ten years, and will pass it to one of my kids some day.

Comfy bike Im getting old


1250 Sporty

FZ8

Image

The bike I started on a '77 GS750. Tore into the top end to rebuild it and found it has Pop Yoshimura pistons bored over to almost 850cc's so I'm currently building it up to look like a skunk (GS1000)

Image

As it sits now (ignore the exhaust it was a test fit for a period correct Yoshimura)

Image

What I'm shooting for:

Image
Bass:

Yes. 2007 KTM 540exc. First year street legal from the factory. My bike started off as an orange 450cc. I put black plastics on it and a 540cc big bore kit. Absolute torque monster! Loved hill climbs.
Never mind the 1290, this is the real beast!

97' Suzuki TLS1K





07'GSXR1K



Our 1050 Sprint ST (the wife likes being on the back of this one, has vowed never to sit on the 990 again-result) , completely different beast to the SD but I can't see me letting it go for a very long time.

Aprilia Sportcity 250. Meep Meep!
Post missing

This post could not be recovered from the original forum.

I've had several scooters along with the bikes because they are a hell of a lot less intimidating for my wife.

I tried to teach her how to ride a bike (Clutch, gears) and she learned for one afternoon, and then she had no more interest.

We used to ride around on a Chinese Schwinn 150cc scooter (12" wheels, Vespa looking thing) until I came across this Aprilia 250. 2009, with 3600 miles. for $2200. I could not say no.

Its great fun. When I first bought it, I put on my real riding gear and took it out to the interstate. I passed an 18 wheeler and exited on the next exit. It surprised the crap out of me.

When I bought the SuperDuke I took my wife out for a nice short ride. She hates not being able to hang on to anything. And the snatchy throttle is not a feature she appreciates. No matter how smoothly applied, It cannot be compared to the softness of a 250 scooter in her mind. So the scooter gets ridden basically daily. SuperDuke on weekends with the boys. And when I'm able to go to the mountains and ride. With the boys.

Life is good.

OK bit of a story to this.
My best mate of 25 years who owns the RG has terminal liver cancer (he is only 43) and for as long as i have known him he wanted one. So life insurance payout later here it is. Bloke rode shit bikes his whole life, so I am ecstatic that he coughed up for this. Yeh it's a lot of money, but life really is too short for some.

Tell your mate not to start thinking he's like one of the old 500GP racers when he's out for a blast because this bike will make you think exactly that.
Thanks guys. Not taking it as a negative but chase your dreams while you can.
We never know how long we are here for and in the end it is only money. You can always make more.

This is my 1971 CB500/4. I built this bike from a basket case. Complete nut & bolt rebuild took three years and a LOT of money to get to this.

So what do you think of the mt09 Kev?
Done heaps of work on the MT, the standard suspension is sh1t, the brakes needed updating, the motor is great & has been fully mapped:

ANDREANI cartridges with 0.95 Sonic springs, 7.5w oil @ 120mm, ZX10r rear shock. HH pads + braided lines, Latest Yamaha map, PCV with A/T300 + custom PCV mapping, POD 300 data logger, 2nd welded in wide band sensor, my O2 controller, DNA filter, Snorkel modified, Yamaha OEM Screen, Shorty levers, Protaper bars, Shoria battery, My own home made steering damper, Titanium nuts & Bolts everywhere. Akra Carbon pipe. Complete new air box + velocity stack testing coming, R1 front rotors coming soon.

Never thought of the MT's screen on the 1290 I will look into that.
Made a few changes...

then i threw it down the road yesterday.

lucky i still have my trusty '07 990SD in the shed to ride!
That sucks mate hope your all good..
Must have been the rim tape?
Frame sliders can only do so much.
Hope you are all good. Is it a write off?
just a few busted ribs, no real issues.

scamb66 that orange rim tape is actually painted onto the rim, that's how the forged marchesini's are finished.

frame and engine are untouched. just all the left side fairings, torn seat, rearset, lh switchblock, lh handlebar, clutch lever, sidestand, scratched tank. not insured so i will be putting my spare track parts on it and have 2 track bikes for the moment until i decide with rc8r to sell.

priced up OEM parts to repair and it was around $5,500 AUD. ouch! my insurance cost per year would have been about $4k plus excesses because of my age, and poor licence history lol.

oh well
Tiger rebuild coming along nicely.
Image
Image
Is that the same bike?
Post missing

This post could not be recovered from the original forum.

Yep definitely the same bike. Took a full strip down and about 20 hours and 3 cans of WD-40 to get it clean.
All new plastics and tank repair and original Triumph crystal white respray.
Funny thing is it was cheaper to get all the parts ex-US (Bikebandit) than it was from the UK or Oz.
Still a couple of things to go like a set of Mitas E07 tyres, new chain, hand guards and a rear left hand grab rail to get it ready for rego but other than that it is looking like new.
Got rear ended at 120 km/h by a 1190 Adventure and went sliding 50m down the road. frame, forks and engine were untouched, repaired a few things and rest is new.
Owes me A$8k at the moment but probably worth around the A$11-12k mark. Rides true and is sublimely comfortable.
Plenty of dirt roads around here to explore, so looking forward to it.

I have spruced her up somewhat with the all black look. But there's some race suspension mods, fat bars, gearing and power mods too. It does everything.

From touring.

Been a faithful companion for over ten years now and I've owned a lot of other bikes in parallel but never found a replacement. That new SDR has a lot to live up to....

Thanks tango2, I appreciate the feedback.
Ok so not posting a lot at the moment, time is taken up on other projects. 1290 seems pretty sorted and guys don't seem to doing huge amounts too it.
So with that I have just added an 1988 851 Tricolre to the clan. Not perfect but not bad for a 27 yo bike.
Only 6600 km on it (rear tyre was made in 1989) and considering that it is only 3 years older than the Mille it is a generation apart ride wise.
It is a surprisingly good ride for an older bike, even with the 16' tyres. It pulls strongly, brakes are way better than expected, reasonably comfortable, although my 50yo wrists do feel it.
Still taking it reasonably easy due to the old rear tyre, new one is on its way.
Biggest complaint is the ridiculous mirrors, don't even know why they bothered.
I have a soft spot for older Ducati's but of course they are not without their issues.
The Mille was recently off the road for two months after I blew the front brake master cylinder trying to bleed them after putting on braided brake lines. Finally found a new Moto Guzzi replacement for it. All part of the fun.
As for getting it past the bride, well, I sold it too her based on investment potential (that and the fact she loves bikes as well).
With only 307 Tricoles made and with earlier Ducati prices heading north, it might even work.
Seen people make worse financial decisions, at least I get to enjoy it and you don't get that investing in shares.
So saving up for an 750 F1, think it would fit nicely in between the two. Last bevel, first Pantah, first Desmoquattro, red, white and green etc.
As for a favourite, it's hard to pick. I enjoy riding anything, even the brides 390 is a hoot.
Captain sensible would pick the Tiger, just because it is usable everywhere and comfortable. It's not overly exciting but not all that dull either, the 800 engine has enough to get you by and it doesn't have the weight of the 1200 ADV bikes out there. If I haven't ridden the 1290 for a while the Tiger is the one I think I would pick if there "can be only one". Then I ride the 1290, nothing puts a smile on my face like that thing and that's what it is all about.

Image
Scamb66,

How do like riding the 390 in comparison with the 990 and 1290? I imagine it would be fun as hell! Not supermoto fun, but funn!
Wow, nice collection man.


Sarasota_Steve
08 990 SDR
Sometimes I miss my old sv. That bike was just unique and looked great. The girlfriend loved to ride on it. Image

Since then, I picked up a v Strom 1000 for commuting, touring, and some sliding around on dirt roads. Bought a 08 990. The girlfriend also bought a 390 Duke.

My 2008 BMW K1200GT on the Dalton Highway in Alaska in 2014.





My 2003 Yamaha FZ1 somewhere between Lake George and Lake Placid, New York. Like Screwdriver, I have a love affair with this motorcycle. Has to be one of the best all arounders ever built! I'll be passing it down to my son when he turns 16 next year.

The buzz when you hit the power band on a 2 stroke is an experience everybody should get.
The top RGV shows 67bhp on a dyno and only weighs 125kg.
Planning a modern RG 500 at the mo. Engine is ready. Just looking to source a modern chassis and suspension.

First bit of dry weather for weeks so I go out and wheel the SD into the sunshine. Will it start? No. Flat battery so I wheel it back into the garage and put it on charge.

Wheel out my 40 year old triple and she starts first kick and away we go in a cloud of two stroke.

Thx for the compliment.

I picked up a 1993 V22 5 years ago. It was imported from the UK by a guy in the US military. He bought a Fischer KFZ stage I crate engine for it. Installed it and put Tyga's on it. Heat cycled 3x. From that point it sat in his dining room for years until he had to sell it due to divorce. I decided to go through it and make it as perfect as possible. I hope to have it completed by mid summer (been dragging my feet!). Here are a few pics. I assume you're on the UK RGV forum?

Day I picked it up and after powder coated frame.




Heres one on my RG500 for you and the other 2smoke devotee's. Saddest day of my motorcycling life when i sold it

Fookin photbucket has killed a lot of threads here, bloody shame.
As I appear to be a serial offender to this page here is the latest addition to the fleet.
2015 1290 Superadventure with 4000 km on the clock and most of the fruit. Bought it sight unseen in Melbourne and waiting to get it shipped.
So time to say goodbye to the Tiger.
It does look somewhat policeeee and those panniers are huge.
