Good to hear! How roomy is the back seat? We’re in 3 booster seat mode currently so the width of rear seat is the biggest consideration.

1 year with TD. Already checked.

Add another to the list….BMW F series. Lots of nice pieces out there. Everyone in my life outside of GTAM has said the same thing ‘so when you buying the next bike?’ ‘Taking a few month break’ ‘Hahahahahaha sure..whatever you say fella!’

The VFR800 is one of those bikes that’s always been at the back of my mind. Similar to the Hornet 919. Always there….but never enough pull to jump on one. Thanks @Lightcycle and @Hardwrkr13 for some additional context.

That is lovely from that angle.

Well said. While I love the Multistrada 950 I’m not going for ‘character’ any longer. In order of preference (price taken into consideration): VSTROM 650/800 Versys 650 Tenere 700 VFR800 TransAlp Africa Twin I don’t think a >1000cc is something I need in my life.

A face only a mother could love! I’d love a multi but the service costs scare the hell out of me.

RIP A childhood hero of mine.

Thanks. Bike was great for quick jaunts around town. But for full day rides…horrible for comfort, wind protection, and range. Off to something new when it comes my way.

This one is on my radar...not a fan of black though as I like my bikes to be a bit more visible. But I'd be lying if the VFR800 isn't calling my name.

Fair. I had the 500cc before and while it was good...it was meh. So going back down from 800cc -> 390cc was more of a curiosity thing. I'm thinking the 650cc is the lowest I'd be willing to go, but I also haven't ridden a KTM before so...

Alright I'll bite...why not? Scrambler sold in 24h since I posted it on the weekend so the bike is now gone and the new owner texted me last night saying he can't believe how great the bike is (now I'm regretting the sale). So I'm in the market again...but for now holding off as kids are...

Ooof....first vet bill came out to $700...not unexpected but zang.

I'd be lying if I wasn't considering switching the Maverick / Odyssey for an EV/PHEV right now...$1.72/L this morning in my area. Too many kids = not enough space in most vehicles besides a van.

Sadly I have to agree.
