Otherwise you get into the 4v desmos and when maintence rolls around for valve clearance checks/adjustments, it'll be less work if you do it yourself, and A lot less $$ if you have it done. The 2v motors will make plenty of power for street riding plenty. The 4v is what they put in the hyper sports - 998,999, 748, 749, S4R etc. very powerful but more work and $. |

Funny, I was talking to a guy who was in upper management for HD and he said they lost money every year with the whole Buell delio.

The amount of power on tap on that thing was crazy. You can smash the throttle on an entrance ramp and feel like you're on a supersport but they have power all over the powerband. I don't know how you beat them for real world power and overall value.

Yeah, they probably did. It was a little weird to sell both classes at a dealer like Harley. I can't remember the arrangement with Buell and HD, but I think Eric had some restrictions in what he could do etc. something like that...can't remember

You ever rode a Tuono? I rode the Shiver at Renos, and I came back. The owner was like "what did you think. Hey, you should ride the Tuono". His daughter pulled it around ....I could hear that baby start up. Had Akro cans...sounded amazing. That thing would be a ticket machine in terms of speeding and how easy it is to lift the front wheel from about anywhere in the power band. |

From what I read, he had to use 45 degree twins and they had to be air cooled, to fit with the brand

Ah ok. I thought it was another style cone. I rode with a few guys after a bike night and a dude had a zx10 with an exhaust that looked like an ice cream cone upside down. Mother of god was it loud

A lot depends on your age. Driving history as well (obviously) and how they categorize the bike. The insurance company my wife works for won't insure sport bikes above 600cc, and even that won't do so unless they're over 25.
I think full coverage on mine (state farm) was about 15/mo...I was 33 when i had it. Around here they factor in the non riding months,or so I hear. However, the kid I sold mine to was in on his third bike in two yrs, had crashed the other two and had multiple pricey tickets amd he told me his insurance for full coverage on the bike was 225/mo. Shit you not |
