My vote goes to the fz8, but otherwise.. the cb.. The 4 cylinder just sounds too good ? comfort wise though I can only say the sv wasn't comfy for me at 6'2, primarily the leg room.. Don't know about others ?

Sometimes I wish they would reply here to justify their actions but then again, they are probably too cool to be lurking on forums.. ?

@JTR lol ya I know that now. When I only had my G license, all I saw was motorcyclist doing this and that.. ? So I just assumed I could 'legally' be there ? I ended up with a improper lane change and luckily got dropped.. ?

I've done it once when I first got my license.. went on the bike lane to the front at a red light.. Got pulled right after and although there isn't a proper 'lane filter charge', he gave me a different ticket. I honestly thought I was allowed to as cyclist does it too.. Regardless I won't do it...

@ruffriders I will try that advice. ? Cbx definitely a light little adv bike, good mileage too. Maybe if I was a dedicated tourer I'd consider the 650s or above, the odd time I could use the oomph but so far so good ?

@Clutt-225 just a cbx500. I'm 6'2 32" inseam. Looks wise, I kinda prefer versys but the underbody exhaust means I can't do slip on ? wife says this is long term bike so no changes for the next... Forever. ?

Insurance on an SS is almost triple for me. Naked looks good though, easy for maintenance without removing fairings.. But it didn't look right with a giant screen.. So I went adv route.. Good wind protection, good for 6'+ guys and no bug splatters on my chest ?

I'm under 30, riding for 3 years now.. I'm not understanding this thread anymore lol. Riding in group is fine with the appropriate social distancing and whatnot whenever you're stopped. That includes riding with 1000000+ ppl.. But.. when you're all stopped to hang out and take selfies, it's...

Quite misleading in the beginning lol but glad it wasn't something much worse. Gws Brian!

Not sure where to post this exactly but anyone using givi kappa etc top cases that doesn't have hinges to hold the cover up. Any cheats to keep it opened? It's just got 2 rubbery cable and even on flat surfaces the lid will drop on me as my bike and top plate is naturally very parallel to the...

I used to use Mobil 1 oil as well, from Walmart, and filter from Canadian Tire as mentioned, but haven't seen the oil anymore last year in store. Not sure which oil I'm switching to, and using k&n filter now cause it's easier to remove lol ?

Met a couple folks here.. Some of you definitely do not fit your bikes, lol. 29 y/o 6'2 Asian male, cb500x. I will definitely fit the stereotype once I get to my 50s and start shrinking ?

Essential worker here (lame grocery lol).. Bike or bus.. I'll bike :(

I want a burgman 650! (maybe 400?) Can't have 2 bikes though so will stick to the cb5x for now.. Haven't had a chance to sit on one so I'm not sure how the comfort will be for my taller frame.. But definitely think it'll be more comfortable for the wife!

@Michael0124 welcome to the season haha and nice meeting you the other day! :)

@V-Tom thanks will take a look at some of those things. I am imagine you look like Michelin man. @MacDoc lol don't know how to size down the file

@V-Tom what's your gear? And what mods on bike for additional warmth?

@MacDoc ?

Went out today to pick up the new top case, post office guys thought I was crazy walking in with a helmet and picking up a box 2x3 feet. Quick install, left them the boxes. Windy but better than nothing. Also added an adjustor to my screen. Front kinda looks hideous now but damn it helps a lot...

Picking up a bite and heading home shortly. ?️?
