Go drag a Thruxton 900.

You'll scare the pants off retro boy at the very least.

Thats what I'm thinking of upgrading to, or a Bimmer f850. Then again that'll probably change in 6 months & something else will look good.

What I'll do is put a 10 teeth front sprocket on & whoop his ass  :icon_twisted:

You know...  I know you're just goofin' Bubba, but......

I rode my friend's Baby Monster (the 695... And yes, it's a grrl's bike... and yes, she is a grrl), and it didn't feel  much faster than the GS, even though I know it is...

I was riding with my buddy, he was on his SV...  Normally, he doesn't have any trouble keeping up (unless we're on nasty twisties) and he said he had to open the SV up quite a bit......  I was banging that thing out, full throttle.  It's much more jumpy and grumpy in low revs...

But, it didn't FEEL much faster than the GS.   :dunno_white:  And it was harder to flip around...   :dunno_white:

I'd rather ride a bike that feels fast, but isn't...   :icon_mrgreen:  Triple-Digits == Bigger Tickets.

Good call man!

The trouble is I hit triple digits every ride I go on, hell even some days going to work I'll hit the triple digits, what a rush man, what a rush  :laugh:

Motorcycle's are God's greatest creation; turning gas into noise with acceleration & power as side effects
