I still want to get me one of these for screwing around on.
Much cheaper to fix damages caused by stupid compared to my current bike
Im not even thinking Enduro.Many people say that, until they find out what an offroad/enduro capable bike costs 😄
Im not even thinking Enduro.
I'm thinking 125-250cc scrambler for screwing around with offroad like a motocross track etc.
I.e just for fun.
If I want the exhiliration of speed ill stick to my Ape.
Yea, also not looking at new in this class.100% we all do it for fun - sponsored or not. Just heard it a number of times, guys thinking getting into the offroad scene is cheap. Then are pleasantly surprised when they have to pay 100K+ for a new offroad capable bike. Even an out of the box 2021 KTM/Husky needs some additions to make it decent.
NoiceGreat bikes so far, everyone!
The first picture is of my Ape and my dad's new S1000RR. I have a few replacement decals on order from AF1 because some of my grey ones got damaged during transport (I think), but I'm absolutely in love with the bike. Much easier to ride than the Brutale I had before.
I recently did my first track day at KIllarney on the Aprilia, so that's the embarrassing last photo (provided the album worked properly; this is my first actual Carb post). I was told to try out B group next time, but I'm still undecided.
He had two S1000Rs before this (a '14 and an '18), and they're definitely awesome bikes! I always thought they were a lot of fun, and super stable whatever you throw at them. Have you ever had issues with yours not starting after being left in the sun for a bit, if you don't mind my asking? I think it was an issue with the fuel sensor on that bike.Noice
Them new S1000RRs have all them nice electronics. Almost traded my S1000R for one but after riding a few bikes that I thought I'd trade on, I came to the realization that mah bike is awesome af and it's engine is at the end of it's production cycle which is always the best time to get it.
I'm a bit jelly though, a 22 year old on a RSV4, I hope you step on a lego
He has yes. I can even say that. I was with him the day it happenedHave you ever had issues with yours not starting after being left in the sun for a bit, if you don't mind my asking? I think it was an issue with the fuel sensor on that bike.
Well I was 26 when I got my Ape, so not much betterNoice

Just do it, trust me, it's really worth if even if you just use a bike to skip on traffic.This thread should be closed. There's too much flexing going on!
I want to buy a bike. But I really shouldn't!
Actually, if I could go get my learners I would have one already(previous one expired), but it's a PITA and I don't have the patience to wait in line from 4am, so maybe it's a blessing in disguise!
Nice bikes guys! Super jealous!
Have my eyes on a '14 R6 at the moment, but the aforementioned issue is a problem
Yea It actually did, as this Ovisser twat has said, I went for a demo day and my bike wouldn't start afterwards.He had two S1000Rs before this (a '14 and an '18), and they're definitely awesome bikes!

I'll be sure to leave some blocks lying around I lucked out trading in my first bike to Cayenne for the MV when they were still around -they gave me way too much for that bike - so that required minimal extra investment from me. I was really lucky with the timing of it all.
He has yes. I can even say that. I was with him the day it happened
It happened right in-front of the BMW dealership he bought it from.
They took it in, brought it back out 20mins later and it was fixed.
And people say Italian bikes are expensive... holy hell, could buy a entire bike for that moneyit was around R12 or 22k(I can't remember) just for the parts.
I don't let jap crap riders ride my bike all willy nilly.I'll have to ride it more to find out. See you tomorrow morning at 7.
I suppose so but I have to admit, The BMW guys are looking after me really really well.And people say Italian bikes are expensive... holy hell, could buy a entire bike for that money
I would add another R15K to that budget if I was you and go bargain hunting for a 2011-2014 KTM 300 XCW2000-2010 YZ will be more than sufficient, seen a few in good condition going for like R20-30k, and sometimes even less.
<3 that RGV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Here are my babies. They all have a great storie to go with them. Can't find any photos of my NSR MC21 SP Pentax and it is currently undergoing restoration. Lets see your babies.
I'll let you come pet diesel?I don't let jap crap riders ride my bike all willy nilly.
I'll let you come pet diesel?
I find it really odd with the modern bikes of today where 200hp and a 170kg weight is a sight to behold.one of 10 ever to grace our shores. Found in an old dusty basement covered with tarps
Then what are you doing here?I am wayyy too scared for these coffins on 2 wheels!
Not a big KTM fan... Seen too many 'new' ones go and just stand for absolutely no discernible reason.I would add another R15K to that budget if I was you and go bargain hunting for a 2011-2014 KTM 300 XCW
You will have a pretty decent enduro bike (You will definitely have e-start then) of course buying the bike is not the only expense, its a hideously expensive hobby if you really commit to it.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE ?Then what are you doing here?
Also while you are here, where the hell is our Flex Friday thread?
I need a new profile pic you lazy bum
I own a bike, thats why I am here,WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE ?
