    I think it's weather dependent. If it's raining, many will choose the car... I've noticed that many UK riders are fair weather riders... If you have 1 bike, it takes the fun away riding it all year round.. If you're fortunate to have 2, a daily and a summer weekend toy, I'd choose a bike all day long.. I had an S1000r last year, but I never wanted to ride it in anything but the sun... Just the thought of having to clean it if I rode it in the rain was enough to deter me. I have just sold my xsr900 to fund either a tuono1100 or zh2 se, I'm also looking to pick a 2nd bike up to use for touring/commuting... something you're not fussed about getting wet etc if you know what I mean? I think riding in the rain and all gear round betters your confidence and experience. As for the car, I've found that since passing my test, I drive less n less each year.

    For me the zen factor gravitates to the bike whenever possible.....my wife has her meditation space in our house, and mine is sitting on 2 wheels....I always arrive at work in a good mood on the bike, and in the car it is definitely hit and miss.....the issue I have is that, in Canada, we face 3 months every year where riding is not possible due to the quantity of snow and ice on the road.

    I'll tell you about the most annoying thing about the mt-10" is the robotic voiced video about the 25 because I'd be disappointed about my new xsr900. I know I enjoy the xsr more for so many reasons. The mt-10 was my first choice for what I need from a bike with my own personalization-like a trick ferring kit without the insurance. The 24 heritage white I have might help my cobble together a u.s. 24gp. If the 25 10 looked anything like the Ai b.s. I wouldn't whine much about trading is in for a absolutely beautiful beast. But it'd a.i. bs and it hooks you!

    I brought a Chinese 52L plastic Top Box for $50NZD around 25 quid and mounted it to a KTM 1050 ADV bike. After using it loaded for a two week 3500 km trip, nothing bad happened. it was still mint at the end of the trip :) Note:- a cheap way to adapt the mounting plate to a bike if needed, can be to use a 1 cm thick plastic cutting board to make an adaptor. They're cheap as chips and very strong. They'll take a coat of satin black paint if you don't like the raw off-white look.

    I’ve had my panniers for 10 years, they’re still immaculate and they’re now on my current GSA (identical to yours). I like the panniers, they’re easy to use because they are top loading and if you ever change the bike you’ll never be stuck with the panniers, they sell very easy and hold their value well. Soft luggage looks good when new, but on tour when it’s pissing it down and they’re soaked and covered in road grime, faffing around with wet buckles and straps isn’t for me. Just my findings.

    I just bought an MT10 2024, a few weeks back. I was at the grocery store, tried to put the key in, it fell.... Not on the ground, somehow it tucked itself inside the front gas tank grill to the right (seated), STRANGE, and that feat was not easy. We took a coffee stirrer wrapped in tape, could'nt get it out. Fortunately, I mentioned I lived a mile away and have the other key at home, the manager told another guy to take care of me. Fry's Food store in Phoenix. I now always approach the key in from the front, not while seated, the clutch cable is annoying in the way, key is long, and I only owned the bike for 50 miles at the time, for perspective. Otherwise, it is an outstanding bike, I am over 200 miles, have some accessories ready to install at 600 mile 1st service. My bike, I call her Tron, with all of the teal and glow, yep. I guess I will see that extra key back at my first service. Also, the rear seat, you need to use the key opened to lock her in, you can't just shove it down. I say rear seat lol, the whole seat

    BMW lost me when you mentioned the vibes. I test-rode an S1000RR probably ten years ago, and although I felt like an absolute king on it, I was: i. surprised by the bar vibes, and: ii. knackered because-of it. For me, if there's one reason to choose a 4-cylinder bike over a twin, it's to ride something that'll be smoother when you're just pootling along. I appreciate that it's essentially a racing engine here, but I'd have thought BM could have refined it by now given that most of their bikes with this engine will be ridden on the road. By the way, I'm not touring or doing any long distances, and I only tend to go riding for an hour-or-so, but still, I want to enjoy the experience and not feel apprehensive about even going out because the bike is too much hassle (like the 'snarling dog' Superduke R that I subsequently tried definitely was). I wonder how I'd find an R1250 R instead...?

  • @BikeLikeMike92
    @BikeLikeMike9226 күн бұрын

    1250r would probably suit you if you’re after that comfort with some punch. I don’t think the m is a snarling dog, I think it’s pretty good and easy when riding slow - it can be a real Cerberus though if you want it to be.

    @@BikeLikeMike92 Thanks for the input. The only thing against the 1250R is that it's not exactly light and I'm quite small, but I am interested because I remember thinking about the S1000RR that things happened almost quicker than I could think. I shouldn't have mentioned the M/ S1000 in the same sentence as the old Superduke really (I knew within a minute that it was horrendous in terms of power delivery and just couldn't do slow or smooth), but you mentioning vibes on the M does surprise me. I say that because I seem to remember that the generation of S1000RR that I rode had some kind-of weird engine imbalance thing going-on, where numerous owners claimed that the bike would drift towards the left, and I'm here to try and find-out if an updated engine and chassis fixed all that. Ultimately, I'm probably getting too old for these 200bhp 4's if I'm honest, but I still like the idea for thrills!

Things I don't like- The fuel usage really isn't that bad but is a concern when going on long rides, the seat is absolutely garbage and needs to be thrown in bin and buy an aftermarket seat asap, the stock exhausts is garbage, the Fluro rims get dirty really fast, the stock mirrors are ugly, the rear tail number plate thing is disgusting and the bike desperately needs a tune because the standard Yamaha fuel map is horrible but apart from that and a fair few dollars spent on after market stuff the bike is an absolute sexy beast with lots of power and sounds insane with a good straight pipe exhaust.

    I remember my first trackday some 30+ years ago. I made a lot of mistakes such as braking too hard into the turns and then going so slow through the turn, opening the throttle while still pulling the bike into the turn, not turning the bike fast enough, but for the most part I figured those things out by the end of the day and was much much faster and smooth. Even my teenage self realized that just being very smooth made the bike feel in control regardless of speed. I then bought the videos and books of Keith Code's "a twist of the wrist". That really helped me but I'm not sure if it would have helped much BEFORE the first trackday. My biggest recommendation for a first trackday is just avoid being around other riders. If someone is faster than you then you're tempted to go into the turns faster, and if someone is slower then you're tempted to pass them with a bit of risk. Instead, just avoid other riders, and then take a couple of trackdays figuring out the track and the "physics" of it all. You cannot just take a single trackday...these things like a night of sleep for your brain to process. So stack up those trackdays regardless of cost.
