Title: What's your single most recent motorbike purchase ?
Post by: simonm on 06 March 2015, 09:42:55 am
I know we all have a tendency to fritter a bit of money away here and there, but what was your single most recent (non-consumable) purchase relating to motorbikes ?

Mine was a pair of Gerbing G12 heated gloves which I bought whilst my bike was being MOT'd.

Top tip, get your bike MOT'd somewhere that they DON'T sell motorbike gear.  It can get expensive.

:-)

Saw a high rise exhaust, link pipe and modified pillion peg on ebay and just HAD to buy it.

Told the wife I really, really needed it.

A 4 degree ignition advancer for my fazer 1000 (excellent value!) and a pair of tyres for my sv1000 suzuki (not quite so cheap!!)  Soon to get a stage 1 Ivanising kit fitted - hoping that will be good too!

Did you see Roadcraft Nottinghams video about the Tracer ?  (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39J9GkE2FEA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39J9GkE2FEA)) I really wanted to love the Yamaha 3 cylinder but I'm not tempted until they can make the EFI smooth as silk and the fuel tank looked a bit small too :-)...
...
...
...
Takes a lot to beat a street triple though ;-) (obviously not the same demographic as the Tracer, but it does go up against the MT09)

I always wanted a v2 tuono, as i owned a falco and loved the v2 rotax engine. Bought the v4 tuono and it's best bike i've owned bar none! Aprilia bring soul to motorcycling :)

Not wishing to diss' anyones ride, but what does that fairing look like in the flesh, not sure if it's the angle of the photo or the light, or the lens cover, but it looks distinctly odd ...

It's one of five bikes, so no offence taken. If you had insulted my Fazer that would be a different proposition altogether.  :lol


How do you mean odd? And what fairing? Its a naked bike, last I checked...

The tuono has a very distinct look. Some love it some hate it. A bit like marmite :lol  Personally i love the look of the tuono, but hate marmite :rollin
