Weeksy , your logic is floored, you can ride a standard ebike equally as hard as a normal bike -but with the same effort you'll just be going faster.
But ,all the options are available .
If you want to go faster,turn up the assistance, even faster - get it chipped.
If you want to make the ride ...

I'd like a TFT screen,just because I can't read the Speedo on my f800gs!
Anyone else had this problem?
I guess I need to start wearing my glasses when riding.

I saw a picture of a 1 year old cfmoto mt450 earlier with half the paint flaked off the swinging arm ,I can't find it again now.
I can't imagine the honda will give you such problems

Fair enough, I keep thinking about getting one myself and a couple of the others ,but I m also a bit sceptical about buying a Chinese bike .
I wish that Drz was a bit cheaper.

The cfmoto 450 Mt seems to get globally superb reviews and is proving to be reliable from what I've seen. Is it not worth considering one ?

So how are you getting on with this?
I've got a cash ISA maturing in April and I'm considering sticking it in a trading 212 stocks and shares ISA instead as that's what everything I see on line tells me I should be doing now the interest rates are falling.
Trouble is I know NOTHING about investing ...

Sounds like the new Kawasaki kle 500 could be right up your street?

These look good.

I'd have the tenere definitely for everyday riding,green laning etc.
-then something with the cp3 engine or the mt10 for faster days on smooth tarmac.
Not sure which though,can I test ride them all before I make my mind up please?

Not sure if it's true. New Drz4s is around 150kg from what I can see, which should mean the Rieju has similar performance?

And the last few weeks mine has too and it's got me thinking like Yorick, they're just too damn heavy for what they need to do. A 30 yr old Honda XR250 puts out the same power as a Himalayan 411 and weighs 70kg less with more travel and ground clearance.

The only thing it lacks is a screen and ...

This was my ride yesterday , mainly off piste,brambly , single-track,on specialized levo.
3 hours and average 150 bpm according to Samsung galaxy watch, that's got to improve fitness . I was bollocksed( and cut to ribbons )when I got home anyway 😂

May I ask, were there times you wished you was on a different bike, ? If so what would you have preferred to be on ,or maybe you were perfectly happy on the street triple?

Looks brilliant,thanks for posting, enjoy your rest.

Enjoy pal, I had the first gen which was good , I bet these new ones with 12 years of evolution behind them are amazing

I used to really like the 950 sm, is there a modern non KTM group equivalent?I don't think there is really., maybe Ducati multi Strada?

Looks great

Doh! Get well soon

So,is it any good?
