Yea I don't know why but the US has different names for a lot of yamaha bikes. The MT09(with ABS) costs 9500 euros here, thats about 13k USD

I have em on my 1200GSADV, they are great, stick to the road just as nicely as the pilot road 3's. Not sure about VERY heavy rain, but perform fine in the wet. Actually rode a trackday with em as well. Had no problems cornering at all. Not sure about the mileage, I've been riding em for about...

I had a bee flying into my sleeve a couple of weeks ago, didnt have to squint or anything to see the huge bump on my arm that was caused by the bastard. If I hadn't put on my jacket it probably wouldn't have stung me at all. Wasps can sting multiple times, a bee just once, so be happy the wasp...

meh assen isn't what it used to be. prices went skyhigh and more rules and regulations than I can remember.

It never ceases to amaze me how many retarded bikers go there to have their crappy riding skills put online.

Thx everyone :)

Yea but the first gear only goes to about 60-70km/h, where the fizzer does about a 100. It felt weird for me at first it stopped accelerating , but when you get used to upshifting to second or third sooner, its fine. But when you're in third you can go back to about 30km/h, pull on the gas and...

Congratz, I'm sure you'll love it! my comments on your comparrisson; Some interesting comparisons with Fizzer: 1. The clutch is much less sensitive! Yay! the dry/hydraulic clutch works great, I agree. 2. The brakes are much more sensitive! Boo! Well that takes a few days, but the stopping...

Unfortunatly the guy im going with wanted to go on sunday... So I guess I won't be seeing you Martin :( With temperatures going from -4 to +1, and sunday -2 to +2 with snow, I won't be going by bike as well.

Yep, going on saturday. Appearently there will be some interesting oil sales going cheap, maybe a set of tires, mine are fine but if they go 50 euros off... ill need at least one more set for this year ;)

I wouldn't want a bike without ABS anymore.. I did 2 advanced riding courses and a rain training course on ABS bikes. 1 with the bmw combined braking system, and in emergency situations I know that my brakes may lock up but the abs saves me from sliding. Whenever you use the ABS system its a...

I think it would be possible. But putting a man on the moon is possible as well. You would have to get all the braking lines, abs pump, have a local dealer adjust your ecu, does the speedo have an ABS warning light? Not sure if 1000usd would get you there, unless you can find a complete set...

All I heard so far is that its a cheaply produced in india bike. So KTM wanted an affordable street bike, and the quality isnt as good as the others. although the bigger superduke has issues as well, like battery clamps vibrating loose.

Nice car, are you going to take it offroad?

Is it just me or does the rear tire look to wide? Did the previous owner put on a 190? If he did I'd switch back to 180 asap. The rim is not made fo 190 and has a serious impact on cornering. A straight like should be fine, but still, I wouldn't feel comfortable riding around like that. Or does...
