I'm loving the carbs by the back of the front wheel!

I guess air filter is optional...Wonder if they had high hopes
with this prototype? Anyhow, this prototype looks better than
some black and chrome finished products in the show room... :whistle:

I'm using a TURNCYCLE.CA center stand disc to turn my RT around inside the garage. The top of my driveway in front of the garage can get quite crowded and backing the RT out was often challenging, if not impossible. Not cheap, but extraordinarily simple to use and effective! Same here. Turncycle&am...

Never knew about this project.
Anybody?

I wouldn't even try to turn a RT. It is about 200 lbs heavier than that GS in the video. The side stand is designed for a certain load, and  sooner or later will give in. And most of us already added a wider base, so will not sink in the hot asphalt or gravel. Since you asked, i turn my RT ...

Picture? :not:

Where on earth IS the seat?? :wonder: 
Would love to have one of those "on the rocks"

Rumors are a 1250 GS will be out end of this year. RT will follow the next year. 
Do we need a 1250?? And why are they not making a 600 boxer?? (something
i would NOT have to lower the suspension and be able to lift up if need to? :eggs: )

Would anybody consider this?? Am sure it would be hard, or impossible, for an aged die hard gasoline powered motorcycle enthusiast to switch to a electric one. The sound, the vibration, the smell of a powerful gasoline  motorcycle is irreplaceable. And is it a cost effective substitution y...
