Bikers!?

How the hell do you guys ride at 200+, 300+? at 140-150kmph and I feel like I was about to take off into space on my bike.
So much wind, [emoji1784]

2019 MT-10 Tourer. It's the normal MT with a comfort seat, panniers, lever protectors and a half decent screen.

So there is this twisty thing on the right handle bar. When I twist mine it makes the engine go "brrrr" and I go faster.

Don't worry, you won't be flung to the moon. Possibly into what ever you hit because it's breaks are soo bad you'd be better off stopping with your feet.
I rode Ovisser's bike before he upgraded the brake lines on his MT10..... I was quite shocked that they sold a premium bike with potato stopping power. Other than that, The bike makes a nice uneven banging noise though it would sound much better with a zorst... which he still hasn't done yet :( . it does have that put a smile on your face quality and it looks different to all the rest which is nice.
 
If Chadd would just buy a GPU from me... (This joke is already stale but whatevs)

I test rode one of these a few weeks back, and honestly haven't felt this way about a bike since the Duc

Yes, I know the 1290 can be bought roughly at the same price on the second-hand market, but this just felt 'right'. Enough power, nimble, good brakes, all the extras

 
Because the one I want is 17k :cautious:
3080...... You has the money -_-
Stahp whining about the price and get one.
There are Arrows which sound nice and throaty which I think would sound super lekka on that bike.
You want some screeching akra. Nice exhaust but way too much hype for them.

Must have fallen off while you were riding. Happens all the time, totally understandable and in no way indicative of you breaking any speed limits.
Nope, I worked in braamfontein and they stole it off.
besides, there isn't any space to mount a number plate on the back :p
 
Lol I also run with no number plate not cause I want to speed but bike plates look so cràp

Neee fok, sies. That should be a sin.

Motul chain cleaner, motul racing/road lube. a lot of people say wax is better than lube, but I personally like the racing lube.
I hate hearing a chain while riding, and its a lot quieter than the others I have tried.

Let me tell it to you, like it was told to me;

You can buy any brand of consumables for your bike, as long as its motul. :p
90% of the bikers I have met, swear by Motul, and I agree with them.

Edit for links;
Chain cleaner
Factory line racing lube
Road lube

I normally pay R500 for a can of cleaner and a can of lube (moto mate rivonia or Custom Creations krugersdorp). And I buy 2 of each at a time, then I am good for a year depending on the KMS I do.
