Def staying OEM. I like my bug eyes.
Also not a fan of aesthetic mods in general
Do they even make a kit for the new ones?

Beautiful garage, why is the SDR cropped off? Love the bar end mirrors on street triple.
My love for Triumphs has been growing since I bought my Bonneville.
Their build quality is top notch and it shows.

That’s the messy part of the garage.
Triumph build quality really is spectacular.
You'd better still have it when next riding season comes around, because I want to see it. LOL
If you see any 2019+ Yamaha Star Venture Transcontinentals while you're shopping, let me know - I think one of those will be my next bike.
Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Took my buddy who also has a 300XC with me to pick up my SAR. He put a deposit down on a Transalp 750 yesterday as he's got the adventure itch now also (needed the lower seat height of the Honda though).

Hey @bigpoppa , before you want to trade-in any of the bikes in your garage currently, call me maybe.
P.s. hoping not to receive a call in 2024, wishful thinking

Anybody else here contemplating something new?I’m treasure hunting winter deals on another Ducati
Replacement, or addition to the stable?
I'm thinking about a proper dirtbike.
Wr is a great dual sport, but overweight, and underpowered. Spec sheets still put it at the top of its class (although its discontinued).
Double bathroom scale weighed it the other day. 304lbs full of fuel.
Proper dirtbike is approx. 250lbs.
May keep the wr in supermoto trim, and sell the gsxr600.
Or buy a proper dirtbike and keep everything (storage is an issue.)

This is the time of year when I start contemplating something different/new/old/additional.
I'm currently smitten by the Moto Guzzi Mandello in red.
Yesterday it was selling my Husqvarna FE250 and getting a 2004/05 KTM 300EXC, in my opinion the perfect trail bike.
A couple days ago in was a BMW R1250RS, but the short fuel range turned me off a little.
Just before that, I thought about a non ABS BMW R1100S from the mid 2000's.
I do this every year. Sometimes I pull the trigger, most times I get on the existing bike and ride happily along for another year. The 300EXC seems like a really good idea the more I think about it.....

I recently rode a 2012 ktm 2 stroke 250 with a 300 kit. Made my hands feel like they were vibrating off... and wheelies far too easily in the first three gears.
The 300 exc got the balancer shaft in 2017. Much smoother. Tried a 2023 ktm 300 tpi, and a husky tc 250i. Both very well balanced.
I wouldn't do a first year tpi bike. Friend had issues. First year of anything is iffy.
Have you tried a newer one?
