    Thanks. The running joke amongst my older friends is I'm not old enough to ride a cruiser (no disrespect to old cruiser riders)

    It has an upper one. I don't think it's got a radiator guard.

    Nice Toy! I'd love something like that to play with, but, seriously, I'm happy with my "geriatrics" bike. (Suzi Boulevard C50)

    Nope. A guy bought it and traded it back in a month later. Said it was too much bike for him. So it's sat in friends shop for the past 2 yrs but been serviced, brake fluid changed etc and a small run periodically.

    It's a 2015 the last of their big V-twin superbikes.

    LOL....what about jetskis ? B^)

    Hmmm. How fresh are the tires on that?
    That's a damn good point, long time ago in the 70's I got caught out by a looked like new but was many unused years old front tyre ... and as I recall it, in the dry it gave no real indication that it wasn't going to have anything to do with a wet road..until it happened, at low speed just as it started to shower, and the front fell over and to this day, it is one of the most startling WTF!! moments in my riding life. Tyres have come a long way, but my guess is they still continue to cure over their lifetime.

    I'm too old and fat to contemplate straddling that for any punting on the road...track? Different matter, one could probably get to learning how to get along with each other, hard at work...with much less chance of being taken out by some nut holding a steering wheel.

    Did KTM get over their valve-train lifetime issue with these mills?

    Nice looking stylish machine tho', just be bloody careful and ever vigilant riding the thing - ride safe, stay alive

    Wife, age(too many years since my limited dirt bike experience), laws of physics and the requirement to share roads with cars and truck are the reasons why bikes are not an option for me.
    A lot of fatal bike accidents in the area too.

    I can recommend Pirellis I've had a pair of Night Dragons on my toy for about 11,000ks so far and they look like they'd be good for another 11. Never had a traction issue, they seem to hang on even when scraping pegs. That said, I am on a tourer, not a sportie.
