@NickD That’s very valuable input as I was afraid of exactly that. As much as I love the bikes, I won’t be able to actually use them as one should and would be in 1st gear the majority of the time. Still, I would love a fun bike that has a good amount of power but doesn’t feel underwhelmed on regular roads and that you can still rev a bit.
Should complement the Harley’s as my cruiser. -
@SFMCfranky I agree the 916 looks nicer with the red front fender.

Check out this motorcyclist’s resourcefulness…

“@motojobobo how goes the v85? I fall deeper in love with mine everytime I ride it.”…
@jimcasey same here on the V85TT feelings.
After 21000 km she has pleased me on every task i’ve thrown at her. I also love it’s local uniqueness and gladly accept the extra mile of work required when doing maintenance: sourcing consumables and ordering add-ons internationally.
I’ve added the full GTM exhaust kit with Autotune and Power Commander and very happy with the results even if it is a pricey decision. Especially the cooler running engine. Going on a 220 km mountain ride later today with 3 buddies. It’ll be quite a mix: Ducati DesertX, Husqvarna Svartpilen, Triumph Explorer 1200, CFMoto 450 and my V85. Wish you a nice weekend ride! -
@motojobobo thanks for moving this to the right thread. Mine now at the 25K mark, and with hindsight I reckon it was around 15K that the engine really settled into itself. I got rid of the CAT and popped a Mistral exhaust system on it, with some better tyres for dirt, and couldn't be happier. Ride safe mate.

@motojobobo how did your motor issue work out and what was the cause? Might have been a different bike than the one being currently discussed.

Tear down to clean the rust off and prep for paint

Couple of pics, of some of my two wheeled toys. Just need to ride em more. So many hobbies, so little time

Got all the rust off and primer done. Next is the base coat

The conditions were all-time this weekend in Oregon's High Desert. Heavy rains blanketed the region the days prior, and with the temps cool, the dirt was perfect. And I do mean perfect. Like all-time best conditions, perfect.
I was on my KTM 350 XC-F, which I have come to call my desert sportbike. It's dumb how good it is in the fast stuff.

@Bobcat-Sig that looks awesome

I had a wild ride yesterday on a bike I never thought I'd bother to consider. Man, was I wrong.
That thing is an absolute sled. And the handling breaks my brain. I kind of want it...

@NickD its a limited edition 1 of 10 the rider I chose was John McGuinness who rides with the number 1 it looks even better in the flesh.

@Bobcat-Sig thank you just picked it up today swapped my 2025 honda 600rr for a down payment, still using my zzr1400 for touring they are very addictive.
