This thread addresses it. Some have gone the other way. swing arm swapI know the siblings had chains. I don't know how easy the swap is (for instance if the transmission output or wheel hub was different for belt vs chain drive)
Tiger 800 is on the list…and yes it’s paid off.Keep it and have fun. It's paid for. (I think)
But, at the risk of diverting from the thread, here's a wee tip for you. One of my riding buddies died last year. He was a short legged fellow, and left behind two nice bikes that his wife wants to sell. One is a fully decked out Triumph Tiger 800. Might suit you.
Goldwing bagger?I can tell you know that bike is too big for me. Hell you saw me struggle with yours!
A smaller version…would be fun. Not gonna bother with a new thread but I have a good idea of my next bike.
Maybe 7 years ago, Honda Canada lent me one for a week to review.
That's unfortunate to hear. Not all that surprised though. Almost everything honda has made over the past few decades does nothing for me at best (and much of it I despise and wouldn't own even if I got it for free).Maybe 7 years ago, Honda Canada lent me one for a week to review.
It was yuck. I said as much.
Honda Canada has not lent me anything since.
Hopefully it's been long enough they've forgotten about that and I can hit them up like "heyyyy stranger, you up?"
Funny you mention that... before that the last bike they lent me was the NC700... a bike so terrible I simply gave it back. I didn't want it around my good bikes being a bad influence. I had to give it back before it rubbed off on them.That's unfortunate to hear. Not all that surprised though.

There are two sides to marketing when it comes to trials, Product Marketeers uses demos for real world feedback to develop the product and refine market positioning.

The bigger publications (that get $$,$$$s in advertising revenue from the OEMs every year and toe the company line) get first dibs at all the juicy bikes.
The little guys that have zero financial incentives tostraight up lie to their audience"potentially exhibit certain biases" are not the priority.
Fair enough. I get it. No hate for the player, or for the game. It just is what it is.
XR1200X? Satisfy your sportster itch in a more useful package.. Not gonna bother with a new thread but I have a good idea of my next bike.
I am SO TIRED of brown seats and knobbies on what is supposed to be a street bike...XR1200X? Satisfy your sportster itch in a more useful package.
Behold The Revenant, a Custom Harley-Davidson XR1200X You’ll Probably Love to Bits
It actually retains a decent amount of factory hardware, while managing to look a lot more enticing than its stock incarnationwww.autoevolution.com
