I know they're 2 different animals, but calling it a boat anchor isn't an accurate description either, My HOG moves man, Its got some balls, it's a hell of a lot more forgiving than any sportbike but its definitely no boat anchor:cool:
Yeah, I'm leaning towards that. It's not to say that I won't go around my block and try easing myself into the machine but it won't be anything special. I rather have more confidence in riding a sport machine properly than have confidence and not ride it the way it was intended.
Also, both schools offer similar programs like intro programs, level 2 etc.... how many should be taken for me to be able to confidently ride the motorcycle on the road because that's where 100% of my riding will be done.
I checked out bother Racer5 and FAST riding schools both look really awesome. I'm just wondering if anyone has been to either of em and what they have to say about them.
Hi everyone,
As some of you may know I recently purchased a Ducati 749, and it's my first sportbike. I finally had it delivered to my house today! I was super excited and started to just get familiar with the seating position and making sure that I was comfortable on the bike etc... When we...
I didn't expect to get it this soon, my insurance may be a little higher, plus I'll be 25 real soon might as well wait it out. plus I gotta learn how to ride a sportbike;) I'm coming from a HD Sportster
Plus, I bought it for a really good price, it looks sexy, the only thing is I can't insure it till next season :( for now im going to enjoy my beautiful HD :)
It's official I bought a 749! I went to other dealerships and sat on all of the big 4 bikes, I loved em all, But they didn't stand out to me in terms of their styling, character, and uniqueness. I sat on Triumphs, BMW's while all being beautiful, when I sat on the Ducati, I felt a rush and I...
truth be told I had my eye on the 749, I saw a used one for sale with only 9000k's on going for 8 g's I'm not sure if that's a lot to pay for a bike that's 8 years old already. I'm going to ask the Duc owners that question. For the same money I could get a brand New GSX-R or CBR I've sat on all...
Looking for a sports-bike just wanting to know about the reliability issues, driveability, road manners, and maintenance.
Ive been reading for days about the Ducati 749/848 and everyone says the 749 is the most expensive to maintain/upkeep and that it needs valve adjusting every 7500km's Also...
I mean I guess I should start going to dealerships and start sitting on a few... there are a list of bikes I'd love to own but one at a time ;) I had my eye on several bikes:
1. Ducati 848/749 (V-TWINSS)
2. Triumph Daytona 675 (but alot of ppl on the D675 forum discourage ANY rider including...
