Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #15 Probably a better plot than what Hollywood will come up with.

When I had a frequent commute into DC, I often thought how lucky I was to be driving a company vehicle with an automatic transmission. Long periods of going nowhere with your foot on the clutch can be uncomfortable. So, I understand the value/benefit of a vehicle with an automatic transmission. However, is a top-of-the-line ADV bike what you're going find setting in urban congestion? Sure, the line at Starbucks can be really long, but why not go to the counter?

I'm heartened that MotoGP has seen the light and in 2027 will ban a bunch of the technology that has made racing (and modern street bikes) ridiculous examples of what can happen when form becomes a priority over function. Somewhere along the line the development of technology became the "end" rather than the "means". The same thinking has taken over the consciousness of human society as well, but that's probably best left to contemplate rather than debate. Just sayin'... |

Zitat von TPadden im Beitrag #20Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #19 yet the S1000XR I owned, a sport touring motorcycle of sorts, has a lap timer, user selectable modes, slipper clutch, quick shifter, traction control and sticky tyres that probably would not exist without the original development on the race track

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #21 Yet, I believe we agree... racing technological improvements DO translate to the street, removing them (other than perhaps reducing engine size) through regulation is in this case just an effort to equalize the competition and call it safety. Tom |

Zitat von MrVvrroomm im Beitrag #24 one hopes not for at least 2 years when they might have addressed the bits that don't work very well!

Anyone see anything on a '25 RS model? I find it interesting that BMW is already offering incentives on current bikes. $1,000 cash for RR's, $1,250 for RS's, and more. That C-04 scooter model must be really suffering...BMW's offering $3,000 cash on that one. If I recall, BMW usually doesn't offer incentives until late in the riding season, into fall. |

Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #26 500 quid deposit contribution on the RS here F, G & R18 models with 0% finance Other makes have offers. Moto Guzzi had an offer ending 30 June to try to shift residual 2023 V85TT bikes as they have a new version. They have just extended that offer another month as they have not shifted them. £900 cashback plus whatever the dealer offers. Very tempting as seen some new bikes advertised for under 11 grand for the Touring version. Similar across Japanese brands. https://www.mcia.co.uk/press-statistics has June stats and year to date - overall sales are similar in the first 6 months compared to 2023 Interesting that the mid range bikes 126-500cc have risen by 24% and over 500cc down by about 7%. Under 125 cc dropped as well. Driven by the wide adoption of bikes like the Himalayan and 400cc Triumph. Spam goes here |
Zitat von Doc4216 im Beitrag #28 You're alive! Long time, no post. The 1300GSA is really a pizza delivery vehicle. That's a Domino's delivery car sitting on the tank.
