I sent you a pic of the exhaust on Instagram Kurt. Clubintegra tells me the file size to big to post, and I don't got a computer so...

Been a long time since I’ve seen those old motogp style exhausts, they must’ve been annoying as fuck [emoji23]

If it’s been a long time, that means demand was low. So they couldn’t have been too great [emoji23]

The more I think about it, the more HD sounds like they’re trying to do what Buell did [emoji23]


A few new frames, swingarms and suspension setups, and all of it would interchange.... kinda like the XB’s where there were standard, tall and low suspensions, and a longer wheelbase (swingarm) on the big frame bikes (Uly, SS, STT, 1125), and all of it was able to be swapped.



A range of new engines, 975 and 1250 have been announced... kinda like XB9 and XB12.



The ADV bike and streetfighter are announced, and there was mention of a faired sportbike.... Uly, Lightning and Firebolt/1125R?

Still haven’t seen anyone ride the new chassis/engine without getting bored of it in a few months, but the fat bob looks good in all black.

Finally checked out a mountain motorsports. Wasn’t anything spectacular... they only had 2 dirt bikes altogether, and they were ktm enduro bikes. They had a V4 panigale.

They had a black desert sled I liked though, I didn’t expect it to be so tall, but it’s a pretty good fit for my tall ass

Of course I see that and my first thought is “KZ700” [emoji23]

 

[R13]

Before I could see the whole bike I thought it was a Kawasaki or an HD [emoji23]

 

[94RS]

I was going off the paint scheme [emoji23]

 

[94RS]

I’m sure you remember Iron Man....

Well... current owner ruined it

 

[R13]

Looks... better?

You know I like black & gold on bikes [emoji23]

 

[94RS]

Put it this way.... Someone buys the original Eclipse from F&F and paints it red.

You don’t change a well known OG build [emoji23]

I see they took video of your first HD ride.

Dude had a good grip, I’ll give him that [emoji23]
