CSC announced they have an RX3S (380cc twin) and an RX4 (450cc single) for CARB and EPA certification, and general evaluation.

A spec chart from the blog. Some of the figures are known to be...

My understanding is that the fan runs a lot (more on the newer models?), out of necessity.

I know on the 690 you could get a thermostat switch that started the fan at a lower temp; my colleague...

I really like the look of the Duke 390. It looks like such a good all-rounder. I'm with you on the power output of bikes, but this isn't surprising; we are after all posting on ninjette.org.

The first time I took the valve cover and put it back on again I had no real difficulties, however the second time I had a devil of a job getting it back on again, mainly because of the locator horn...

I was tempted to remove it on my 300 if only because it's such an obstruction between the valve cover and frame; the reed valve itself was also absolutely filthy at 20K miles.

The popping doesn't...

It was very impressive. You could spend a couple of days pounding out those roads; traffic wasn't terrible either. I want to go back before the end of the season.

A day out in West Virginia.

I rode out with my usual riding buddy and his Superduke to Rt. 250 in West Virginia. This is about 60 miles away and offered some surprisingly technical riding; we were both very tired by the end of...

Yes, I just noticed it's fairly high revving too - peak HP at 10k. Area P's dyno on the '300 stock showed it made peak power at 10.75 and that it wasn't worth spinning it any higher with the stock...

I think this motor would have made more sense in the baby Versys.

I'd like to try it. I'm a tiny bit worried it might suffer from the CBR500 syndrome; a competent bike with a slightly dull motor.

I had a feeling this might be coming. I'm not sure how I feel about it - I think the 300 is plenty for a new rider (hell, it's enough for me and I've got nearly 20K on mine). This doesn't solve any...

A.J. I don't think power or weight would be a problem for you on any of them. I'd say the full-fat 1200 class bikes are less enjoyable because they're a drag to ride at street speeds; like a cookie...

A.J. I've since ridden them a few more times, and other bikes besides, but haven't written about it yet.

I'd say the Monster 821 is one of the best of those bikes I've ever ridden, at least for...

Speaking of Zero bikes, I had some thoughts about EVs in general, and ended up going down a bit of a rabbit hole:

I use the Yoshimura brackets on mine.

One thing to be aware of: You will have to create clearance for the brake line that connects to the ABS tubing; this is a matter of lifting the rubber hose...

Finesse

I'll keep an eye out. It's a friendly vibe and everyone's very approachable. I usually get to them around 1730-1800hrs, dependent on what traffic's like from Oakland.

You may actually find the Tiger very quick. Without luggage, the excellent motor, high ground clearance and sport touring tyres that thing is actually a bit of a sleeper.

Indeed, I think the reason the FZ07 has done so well is it's the closest equivalent to the universal Japanese motorcycle of the 80s. Lightweight, cheap, and with great power and driveability.

I thought the FZ-09 was an unusual fit. The pegs feel quite low, with the bars close, compared to e.g. a Ducati Monster. The tank is sharply flared toward the top so you can really pull your legs in....
