Am I allowed to ask - 'Why?'
-
Why this? Simples was a real bargain and if I sell it will make a huge profit.
Why not to ask? all and am talking about almost everyone i know, came after me with disaproving comments for picking up such a bike.
To me it's only an oversized and very loud toy. Now if i will keep it for long depends from the ride tomorow.
Up to now found that is hard to ride, turns all eyes imediately , makes a lot of noise, steering at idle and at traffic lights vibrates a lot , has a brilliant engine, has the softer transmisiont box ever rode, and the most uncomfortable seat ever.
It's a bike that today everybody wants , especially the youngsters wanted to go with the flow.
And if someone wants to play with it a million gadgets are availiable, so many that can transform it to almost everything a human imagines.

A triumph of form over function?
Looks like someone's taken a hammer to the front of the tank.
However, if it gets kids riding motorbikes again, anything is OK!

As opposed to a K12/13S that looks like someone has taken a hammer to the whole of the 'tank' 8)

Went for a spin. Took this picture by the sea side.

And the update regarding it continues.
Raw power, good acceleration, rpm limiter easily accessible can be characterised as annoying, excellent brakes , makes a circle in 6,5m streets easily , two big steering bar, only a speedometer bad if you learn how to use swiches, a lot is delivered, wife complained that has a seat for maybe a 45kilos girlfriend, she condinue suggesting that I shouldn't take her words for granted. Impossible to ride for more than an hour. Shoare arms dictate a stop. Its a caferacer meaning that should be used to go for a coffee somewhere close to home only.
It's an absolute eye catcher , everybody first hears the moan and then looks at it, always with that envy look only certain BMW Motorrad product achieve. Why all ypungster love it ? do not ask me, its the new trent i guess.
Ubsolutely no protection fm wind and to me bad ergonomics regarding the feet pedals, very very good in consumption , two up fully loaded for 200kms asked only 6,7 lit ,92 ron, amazing. Speed not exceeding 110kms. In a couple of occasions bike was pressed , throttle was opened fully and engine delivered up to 160kms groaning delitfully.
Worst lean angle fm a bike by far , to me everything more than 40 degrees is not permitted and in my case less with with mad terrain tyres ,albeit things are definetely better with street tyres.
Overall bike looks cheap . Sounds wonderfully, but it's for beginners who now have to learn the basics starting from brakes and soon followed by attacking curves. Then custom made the hole bike.
Wife suggested that we should sell fast, now that it's a trent. Will follow her advice - orders.

Nicely summed up Costas and your wife is no one's fool, obviously!
Very strange puddle of something underneath the bike when you took the piccie; is it leaking something?
Brian (who thinks it might be a shadow but hasn't seen one for so long he thought they had been outlawed 8) )

;D, all ok tomorow will take her to my dealer and arrange for them to sell it.
-
Make sure they only sell it to someone with a 45Kg pillion passenger 8)
-
Quite an argument that one . :P
-
I really like the look, but much too small for me.
The whole retro Cafe Racers and Scrambler thing is certainly in fashion at the moment. Everyone is making them, they seemed to have replaced the StreetFighter craze.
I am really looking forward to the Triumph Speed Twin - an upright Thruxton:

Looks nice that new T.
Its fashion agree, but it's here to stay for a long time .
Bike is sold with net profit of 4000€ .
Maybe will invest in the new 310GS .
