Featured 765 I Never Did Fall In Love.

I can’t believe you don’t like riding that bike,they’ve got to be one of the very best bikes in the twisties,you should be shot with shite for putting that thingy on the swinging arm on such a smart looking bike.

 

I wasn’t having a pop in a nasty way it was said in good humour, come on what were you thinking putting that on the back of that bike.

 

Thats a lovely backdrop picture. As for lust of a bike I would always own a bike so Im in control of my enjoyment and if it doesn't give me pleasure then Im not linched up

 

Once did a Shearings coach trip for a week up Braemar £125 each for me and the wife. It was so cheap I was going to send her up again on the coach and me ride up just to use it as a base to ride from for the east side of Scotland at that sort of money.

 

How tall are you? I'm 71" and have traveled 120 miles sitting upright at a 115 mph wind speed in comfort, my helmet was the issue at short duration higher speed, mine is a 19 but they look the same.

 

A lot of my issues were helmet related

 

naked bikes are not for everyone, I’ve mates who’ve tried my street triples and loved them for 10 mins but couldn’t live with one, if you don’t like it get rid and get something with abit of wind protection.

71 and riding a street triple RS ? Hope I can still do the same at 71.

 

I'm 61 years old, and 71" tall. As long as I'm vertical I will probably be riding the RS.

Sure is a nice steed though. And I see where you are coming from. Not nice when every time you go for a spin getting covered in crud. And you steed you do as you want. Perhaps after all this virus nonsense is over you will get to love it a little more.

We all like/dislike different stuff. Most of my biking life has been naked (ooo err misses) haha, but I generally prefer them to faired bikes, fairings often cause far more buffeting and turbulance, which adds to the wind noise. On a naked, my head is in clean air.
Over distance, it does get a strain above 100mph, but on track, you barely notice the wind blast and hit far higher speeds.
Weirdly, I am considering trading my 765 in for a faired sportsbike, but if the buffeting is too much, I'll either stick with the 765, or go for the new Speed Triple if it ever happens!
Maybe the Tiger would suit you better? It is a cracking bike!

I've not been out on my 765 yet, but I did get out on my Moto Guzzi the other day:

 

Bike looks class and I'm sure I've seen a vid on YouTube of you fitting the splash guard.
What are you fancying next after the rs? I hear goldwings are good for windblast.
Feel as if the point of this post was to see other bikes out, so here ya go mate, me and my missus had a little outing to south shields last Wednesday.
My Norbert (rocket) was extremely happy to be at the beach and Maggie (scrambler) wanted to do wheelies on the sand..... If you look You can see the excitement in there headlights.
