Stopped by the dealer today

Apex · October 14th, 2010, 01:56 PM

I was looking for some new boots that are more of a touring style than my current dry weather summer boots.

I like being able to ride in the rain being dry, but right now all is dry except for my feet.

So I stopped by the local Suzuki/Polaris/Victory/Triumph and now Royal Enfield dealer!!!

Well I didn't find what I was looking for, but I talked with a salesman for a while and he was going over the Royal Enfield with me. I was amazed, it looks so much better in person. Very classy indeed.

Here are some shots I took with my phone...

Triumph Thruxton:

Royal Enfield:

Sachs MadAss:

I think I can see a Triumph being in my garage in the future. That 675 is sexy, as is the speed triple, the Thruxton, and the Scrambler (I even like the Bonnie).

For some reason, I want that MadAss too.

Thruxton= classic

Royal Enfield=elegant

Sachs=WTF in a good way

Is $2700 a lot of coin for a pit bike?

Apex · October 14th, 2010, 02:18 PM

I agree about the Sachs. That thing is a full 125 too. As an article said, "You can consider it the smallest naked street bike you have ever seen. You could also call it the largest, manually shifting moped."

Here is a review of it:

Looks kinda cool (the madass). The passenger's feet would be moving up n down with the suspension.

Yeah it is, but you'd be turning heads the entire time.

Flashmonkey · October 14th, 2010, 06:37 PM

I do not know how you managed to walk out of there without that pit bike LOL. This is why I hate walking into dealerships.

Apex · October 15th, 2010, 07:46 AM

My being a cheap bastid helps in that department. It is cheap, but I'd prefer cheaper. LOL

Ive always liked Royal Enfields. I see one on campus every now and then. I stopped by a dealer today too... wait... I'm there everyday...

The sachs looks like my huffy with a motor

looks good nevertheless

jnninja250r · November 1st, 2010, 06:38 PM

Love the Thruxton, definitely want to get one someday.

Sachs MadAss seems to be using Buell's Fuel-in-Frame tech. I guess H-D is licensing it for the $$$

They own that tech? We built a drag bike in 1988 using that

Supposedly but it may be the oil-in-swingarm that they own outright. There may be some twist that let them patent fuel-in-frame too.

the Sachs Madass looks like fun. Seems like the kind of engine I could take apart one day and learn how it works without fear that I'd never get it back together again.

Stopped by the dealer today...it's better than being stopped by the cops

Those Triumphs are nice. I wouldn't mind having one in my garage.
