yes i had beach bars on one of my road kings but they gave me shoulder pains ,changed to mini apes and soooooooooooo comfortable

@summ3rhays:

The bike looked solid.  I like the upgraded components, Brembo and Ohlins.  It was comfortable to sit on and was more forgiving than my Sport Classic.

Thanks.

I get the impression that a medieval torture rack would be more forgiving and comfortable than a Sport Classic.

When it comes to tools, my most recommended one is this:

What do you think @Haddtoo 555

I'd make room in my toolbox for that, looks highly effective, thanks for sharing.  @Aetas

Ducati have unveiled the DraXter concept in Verona, which is a drag racing take on the XDiavel with a dubious name and a suitably pretentious video.

I like the XDiavel, but would swap out the forward controls with a set of mid or rearsets given half a chance. Yes, I know, I'm missing the point. But a production version of the DraXter (ideally with a more sensible name) would very much appeal.

There are more photos of the DraXter on Ducati's Facebook page.

Totally agree.

@Giles there's a first ride review of the Yamaha XSR900 at MCN. It's the big brother of the XSR600 you've got an eye on, and sounds promising.

Hello Kitty Scrambler, because there are too many black custom bikes.
