Could you imagine bringing your bike back there for a major maintenance/warranty issue? etc. Best dealerships i've been to in NC has been BMW Motorcycles of Greensboro/Charlotte/CapeFear/Wilmington and Capital Honda Powersports.

    Some insider knowledge. 😉... Setting the mode to Rider and the map to Track changes the bike entirely. The sport map seems to be entirely useless/pointless, and the Road mode is actually better. Mine smokes the new MT09s too, and by a lot. That linear power curve can be a little deceiving but once it reaches the high RPM it takes off (Rider Mode/Track map). The guys on their MT09s were shocked after finding out how fast it was. 😆

      @ApexRadius 2 місяці тому

      Sorry, late to the party here. I see a lot of comments about this but I would agree with RSV4 Pilot. See the bike in person. The reason for the extended headlight is that it's a holdover from the Daytona. The Striple, especially the RS, is just essentially a naked Daytona and the headlights and instrument pod, which also houses the ram air intake, is directly mounted to the frame, not the forks, like all sportbikes and as it was on the Daytona (I have a first-gen). On the Daytona, it's just covered by the fairing. IMO, on the Striple, this is better than fork-mounted, especially if you fit a screen. With a fork-mounted set-up, there's always the possibility that a screen can induce some speed wobble. It's a bit of an edge case but that won't happen on the Street Triple. Also, a flyscreen/windscreen seems to largely mitigate the issue of the front looking like a crashed and semi-repaired sportbike. I have a '22 RS with a Puig aftermarket screen, which is pretty effective in the wind and it does finish off the front end. It's a good looking bike and the current generation is even better looking.

    😂it’s why I love my Streetfighter V4s. I don’t have to bang through gears! It’s insane fun, 70% of full torque given at 4k revs. Arm ripping . A naked panigale, without the crouch and ‘let me off this thing after 45mins’. Any bike over 500cc is ‘too much & unusable ‘ for legal limits. Putting a smaller bike through its limits is still only going the same speed as your larger bike in a lower gear. 🤷‍♂️ Is it ocd that you need to run through the full 6 at redline? 😂 Do you get into your car and redline it in every gear? Why’d you buy a 1100cc v4 moto gp derived, sports bike ergos (uncomfortable crouch) if you only wanted a 600? Maybe get the 660 tuono? Either way, your bike is beautiful 🤩 safe riding!

      @@markholmes5695 I completely agree with everything you said. And as to why I bought the RSV4, for the same reason people buy Lambo's or Ferrari's or any other rediculous unusable car. Because I love the bike and was fortunate enough to have the means to get one. Its my dream bike and I'm grateful that I had the chance to own one. The RSV4 is amazing in its own way, but for street use, 95% of other bikes are a much better choice. BTW, I love the streetfighter. Great bike!

    Great video. I hope you went with the GS Adventure. I know you said you’re 5’9 as am I. And I got the factory lower suspension and it’s perfect. If you’re going to be traveling, the GSA is the way to go due to the pannier boxes and the bigger fuel tank. I was hesitant to get the GSA but I’m glad I did. I have a 2021 rally good luck and if you get the BMW, you’ve made a wise choice.
