I rented one of those just for giggles a few years back. It was brand new, 4 miles on it. Out on the highway at 60 with a smooth road, while holding the bars lightly with one hand it started a head shake all by itself. Had to grab with both hands to keep it from turning into a full blown tank slapper. When I got home, I read up on it. It was the infamous Harley Death Wobble.

Front end wobble usually can easily corrected by acceleration; slowing down or grabbing the brakes will put more weight onto the front end, likely make the problem worse. My 04 Ninja 250 used to do it all the time with OEM tires, I replaced the rear shock to a 09 unit, replaced the rear tire with a 130/90-16 with taller profile, still wobbles when I let go both grips, but much better than OEM. Today's wanted bike: |

Gotta say, I'm on a Bimota kick, so -
Apparently, Bimota may be done this time around. Really unfortunate. The best of the best IMO. https://www.cycleworld.com/storied-i...in-road#page-2 |

A friend of mine took one out of the box and the break-in was the warm up lap for a race at Pocono. Yes, he also won his race. Those bikes were bullet proof.

THAT, looks like fun! Looks like the new Navy Seals attack vehicle. I guess that makes you a mudder fugger.

Mud? We just got 18" of snow in WI and that's looking pretty good for some outdoors fun.
The bike I want today: 2017+ Duke 390. I haven't really paid a lot of attention to the Duke 390 until recently when I realized it had a 2017 update. I looked what was included with that update and came away very impressed. This is a seriously nice little bike. I want one. I have to wonder if the RC390 is up for a refresh soon. I know they have the RC390R, but that is really just a regular RC390 with a bunch of expensive bits bolted on, for a LOT more money.

Good about the RC390: sport bike feel. Looks fabulous. Bad: Did not like the way the engine felt. Didn't like the dashboard. Good about the Duke390: Power felt great on this bike, and the dashboard was much better than the RC. Bad: Didn't like the higher center of balance as much, though a person would probably get used to it and be fine. I liked the Duke MUCH better riding it than I did sitting on the showroom. Really glad I tried this bike on the road. |

Italians make motorcycles like their going to make love to them. That's the way a motorcycle should look not like the "Star Wars" crotch rockets coming out of Japan today. They should have painted it a color, not a shade.

I saw that CRF450L... looks awesome.
As a former owner of a KTM 690, I can say I want something that's not so high strung and maintenance intensive. Sure the KTM was a fire breathing monster, and that's fun for a while, but it's not a bike I would want to live with a for a long time. Spent more time maintaining the KTM and dealing with it's fuel injection issues than I did riding it.
