I planned on getting one later, around spring 2018, but I couldn't pass this one.
This bike is amazing. As GM278 and necromation stated, the 959 is already plenty, I'm glad I didn't go for the bigger one.I plan on using it only for the weekends, and keep my sportster for everyday rides and commute (I don't own a car).
- nice!GuyFawkes
- YES!!! That's a beauty!!! got LOADS of extras on there too... always a result ;) Enjoy bro and ride safe!necromation
- Yes, I had a really great price on it, and all the parts already installed where the deciding factor.dyspl
- NICE!GM278

- great dadmugwart
- awesome usage of a cooler box lol :Dsted
- I always seen it as a pain in the ass that dirt bikes didn't have kickstands, though I would never get one if they had them.moldero
- These mini bikes came with them back in the day. i have been looking allover for one for the green bike. hard to find.BonSeff
- Something like this?
http://www.ebay.com/…GM278 - you just clamp it down on the swingarm. not the original one but it'll work. ;)GM278
- yea, but the kx has the hinge welded on the frame already. i just need the kickstand and a spring. want to keep it as original as possible.BonSeff

^how dies it compare to the 899?
I've been thinking about getting a used one, and the 1199 is not much more expensive these days.I've been riding bikes for more than 10years, but spent the last 3years on a modest sportster 883.
I don't plan on using the panigale racetrack use, only weekends road trips.
The 1199s is tempting as beautiful object, but I'm afraid it could be too much on the road for me to really enjoy it.- @dyspl its batshit mental... But at the same time handles low speeds pretty well and plod along... TBH you would be fine with a 899, i had to go up as all my...necromation
- ^Agreed. Bigger doesn't always mean better. If you're looking for a great weekend bike to rip around (especially outside Vegas) you'll be happy with the 899.GM278
- Besides, the money you'll save in insurance alone might tempt you to pay for a track day or two ;) You can really improve your street riding ALOT on track days.GM278
- As all my mates where on litre bikes and I was ragging the nuts of my 899 to even keep them in distance. Get the 899 you will LOVE itnecromation
- Im usually all for lighter bikes. I enjoyed a lot my supermoto in the south of France roads. But having a panigale is also about the object itselfdyspl
- It feels to me like an exotic car. And regarding that the 1199 with the mono swingarm, the S full olhins... it makes for a beautiful machine.dyspl
- But I agree the 899 would be already plenty. Btw, not in Vegas anymore, im in San Diego now :)dyspl

@GM278 Me and some mates rode up to the Lake District from London (it's a long way on a sport bikes lol) check out me and the lads having fun:
- ooof that road looks sweet. Oncoming looks a tad close.GM278

- jealousy ensuesimbecile
- ^ Don't be jealous...come out to the track!GM278
- fuck i miss this shitmoldero
- Yeah, pretty jealous as well. Might head to COTA next month for F1 but I'd kill to race anything on this circuit. Even kartsSteveJobs
- haha you don't need to resort to murder. A track day will run around 500 bucks. (not including fuel, tires, food, lots of water and gatorade etc)GM278
- nicccceeee... i'm coming for you bro! lolnecromation

Moving production to Thailand and put up for sale to an Indian business. Harley Davidson. #MAGA.
AmericaFirst.TM.
- Not surprised. More and more Harley components are manufactured overseas. In fact, the quality of the bikes might improve.GM278
- Triumph has been manufacturing in Thailand for quite some time.GM278
- Such a shame for the workers. Terrible management of an American icon. Via a small farmhouse on the outskirts of my hometown Aberdeen.monoboy
- It's a shame for asia, where motorcycles are the means of transportation and they have to build those cringy luxury gadgets for old menmekk
- Not my bag either but they are still an icon. Americas loss, Asia's gain. Until the brand loses all appeal to said old men.monoboy
- necromation3
- YES!GM278

- I don't know about you but I have one bike on display in my house. If another one "follows me home" I'm going to need to move into a warehouse.GM278
- Hahaha... My girlfriend has literally given up on me and my bikesnecromation
- niceGuyFawkes
- I've been wanting one for a long time. Hard to justify since I live less than 2 miles from work and already have a motorcycle. If all goes according to plan shedyspl
- will be mine around may next year ( a used white 899 with black rims and carbon front fender please).dyspl

So I got myself a Honda Hornet 600, which is nice and quick and everything - but with 6'3" no joke on long trips.
Selling it atm for a touring bike, because fuck back pain and my wrists will also thank me.
I'm having my eye out for an XTZ 750 Super Tenere, circa 1992. Can anyone here give me some info about bikes like these?
I like the looks of the XTZ750 and that it has a torquey and powerful engine. But its sooo old. I could get a ten years younger Honda Transalp for that money.
- I wouldn't say it's "sooo old" haha My 1950 Triumph...that is old. I'd look into availability of parts. That being said, those XTZ's were pretty robust machinesGM278
- I have a friend who owned a Transalp for AGES and the only thing he ever did was change the oil. Both bikes are pretty bulletproof.GM278
- yeah, will test ride the Honda today. Super Teneres are quite rare here. Only 4 within 100km reach.mekk
- the transalp is too small for me, my knees are too high when sitting.mekk
