Of course this is not a real motorcycle but an artists rendering, but when I saw it I thought of you.

This guy draws some really cool motorcycles

I hate to put her away she is a fun ride. She likes to be ridden hard. Just can't ride her now.

I recall from 2013 a heated debate about whether the CB1100 had a knock sensor. This had to do with acceptable fuels, and whether any power benefit could be had with higher octane.

Obviously, a knock sensor allows an engine to be run safely on regular but benefit from high-octane fuels by advancing ignition timing for a power increase.

I don't know for sure about this, I think the owner's manual did not mention a knock sensor (it would need four), but I just received a Hexcode GS-911 ECU interface for my F800GS, and it has a wealth of information about the Rotax engine and the bike's systems.

Never thought about it as I always run the recommended 91 octane, but the GS's engine has twin knock sensors, meaning it can be run on lower octane fuels safely (to a point).

They show up in the status display during self-check along with tons of other stuff. Good tool to have for bikes using extensive computer control.

One can also clear faults and reset service reminders. I have no intention of taking mine to a dealer so this tool was essential. It's especially needed to check and cycle the ABS unit.

Very authentic, the Norton is bleeding oil.

By the end of this diatribe he is blaming corn growers for starting worldwide riots.

Now that's great journalism.

Has anyone considered how feasible it is to fit a one-off skid plate? Took these pics at work today while wondering.

A bunch of pictures of middle-aged women.

Q: What does that have to do with tires?

A: Everything, because almost all motorcyclists are male, and almost all males want to look at women, ergo, Pirelli's calendar.

Marketing research proves it, egalitarianism and progressivism be hanged.

I still think it's stupid.

They shoulda hired a bunch of Victoria's Secret models.

Bone stock 2013 with 15 miles. Dumped it on first ride thanks to wax over spray on the right edge surface of the front tire,courtesy the dealer who delive it as I lived out of town. Minor damage. Bar end, right engine cover that covers ignition, rear brake pedal. The muffler has a nickel sized scratch barely noticeable. I got all the replacement parts except the muffler as the buyer might not care or can buy a Yoshimura RS3 slip on for less than $300. The bike has the factory transferable warranty thru 11/2017. I know it's a bad time to sell. I figure to put it on CL and Cycletrader at around $6000. I just want to get something else lighter. No lien as I paid cash. Thanks

Anyone research if the RS tank will be available for purchase in the US ?

running a bit late coming home from delivering food to my mother in law who i love so much.
I live down this bayou from her home and three of my 4 children live here also.
such a nice night i hated the ride to end.
