No point in having one. There will be so much condensation on the inside that you couldn't see through anyway.

I love the way his race number aligns with the out-of-shape bike

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
That's quite cool.
As already said, the exhaust/side panel issue spoils it a little. An SL125 style silencer routing might be better, if it could work.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Another one off FB, the rest of the bike is a shite XS650 hardtail chop, but I really like the tank. I think I might be mentally ill.

Do we not suspect there may be a good reason that they're knocking a five grand off the asking price...

Lots of talk around the software being shite and glitching out on early models, which sucks when it's so integrated and controls everything, not looked at how they are nowSupermofo wrote: ↑Thu Jul 04, 2024 9:10 amI seem to recall hearing about lots of reliability issuesKungFooBob wrote: ↑Wed Jul 03, 2024 10:10 pm Feck, that's cheap!

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Remember hearing on a podcast something about lots of issues which then meant dealers couldn't shift new ones nor wanted trade ins. One bloke had his 2 years paid 18k, long list of issues and was being offered 7k for it. Sounds like a barge pole bike. And from my limited knowledge of Harleys not like Harley at all for reliability or holding moneyMrLongbeard wrote: ↑Thu Jul 04, 2024 4:16 pmLots of talk around the software being shite and glitching out on early models, which sucks when it's so integrated and controls everything, not looked at how they are nowSupermofo wrote: ↑Thu Jul 04, 2024 9:10 amI seem to recall hearing about lots of reliability issuesKungFooBob wrote: ↑Wed Jul 03, 2024 10:10 pm Feck, that's cheap!

It's 'only' the v-twin, you need the V4 if you want to pretend to be Doohan.
