If he posts videos of it on stairs, That'll probably take the cake and force me to buy it.

Post by **milesmiles** » Mon Jun 09, 2014 3:33 pm

Please don't tempt me. I need to save cash for a long haul bike.

Ha! Love the FAQ for the bike

What pisses me off about it is the money I spent on my Arrow exhaust, and how good three of those cans would look, and more importantly, sound.

I've got a Versys I'll sell you cheap. Just add a lowering kit and you're good to go.

Man, that was just wrong...but funny.

Hey, I've got stumpy legs too, believe it or not. 29.5" inseam. The only thing that helps me on the Versys is my fat ass compressing the suspension down.

The Versys was my touring bike for a few years. It did 4,000 miles from SLC to Seattle to FTW no problem. Already has heated grips, a custom seat, etc. and it's sporty as hell too--it was my track bike last year. Runs L2 no problem with sticky tires. It's like riding a comfy-for-long-distance supermoto.

Looking to get $3k out of it.

I really want a 1k not a 600 for touring/daily. I need to ride one, but I'm really starting to lean toward a V-Strom. I know the Versus is a great bike as well, but again only a 600. It might be perfectly fine, but I'm just wanting a 1K.

Plus I won't have the money for anything for a little bit, as I don't want to take out a loan.

Y'all need to grow a pair, touring on gsxr, ex250, buell, s1000rr etc works great

I've toured on the 675. It's possible, but not comfortable. I want comfortable.

Post by **DemonDuck** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 11:37 pm

I could be wrong about the others but I dont think any of us had any problems at all with comfort on our ride. I know I never hit a point that I actually had the thought cross my mind that I needed a more comfy bike for this stuff.

Say that after switching to a touring bike during a long ride.

Post by **DemonDuck** » Wed Jun 11, 2014 6:14 am

Then get a goldwing.

Having owned both, there is no comparison. Its like arguing that a touring bike does equally well on the track as a supersport. It doesn't, although that doesn't mean that its not fun to use it that way. To each their own, but there is a proper tool for each job.

Which is why I say go with the Goldwing

But why the Goldwing in particular? There are lots of alternatives: FJR, C-14, ST1300, Multistrata, Sprint, Tiger, V-Strom, GS, etc.

Hell, KLRs and DRs have been used forever to tour anything from Africa to Asia.

I'm saying how much more comfortable it would be to get off the 675 and get on a bike that is more suited to longer rides. How did you not get that lol

I'm so confused. Who is this directed at?

Post by **milesmiles** » Wed Jun 11, 2014 7:18 am

You! I thought you were saying the same thing I pointed out. Hahaha. Let's just stop now before things become even more confused.
