You summed it up pretty much.After I lowered my seat is when my TT really clicked with me. If anyone who put a Y pipe on and want to sell their cat,I'm interested in buying one
Considering a sheepskin for 'butt burner' length rides.
Thanks. You have further increased my desire to sell the Bobber Sport (the most fun to ride bikes I have had) and get a V85. The Bobber Sport had been great and more fun to ride than I had expected. If I could figure out a way ro increase the luggage capacity I would most likely keep it. The small tail bag is full with a tire plug kit and slime pump with a few things that may help get home if it ever has a roadside problem. Never had any problems with it and no reason to expect any to happen. But if I go on a day ride and need a jacket in the AM and want to remove the liner after it warms.....no place to put it. Great bike but somehow my wants have changed and I seem to "need" a V85.
always forget to mention the "humpectomy". removed that right away getting much more sliding room.
If you want and v85, great, go get one! But come on, add a set of H&B c-bow bag mounts and you super easily add 46L of carrying capacity with very little in the way of ugly. Don't blame the bike, for your wondering eye!
>SNIP< I'll keep this bike for awhile, then try something else. Maybe it is just me. I've been married forever (happily), but I like to shop around on bikes.
My lovely and understanding wife of 40 years called me a "motorcycle polygamist" when I had a few bikes in the stable. Last 15 years it's only been one at a time. I guess that makes me a 'serial monogamist'...
Appx. 2 years ago, I bought one of the first V85TT's available, serial number 53. Today, I will reach 15,000 miles on my ride home. Am I still in love?Maint:The shop did the initial service at 900 miles and I have done the 6,000 and 12,000. Valves did not really need any adjustment after the initial service. The oil level was just a little below half at oil change time and except for being dark looked like it could go right back in. No plugs or air filter yet. As simple as an old BMW airhead to service. My first set of tires lasted a little over 9,000 miles, might have gone 10,000, but I am conservative about tire changing. Now with the center stand, I will save myself a lot of money at tire change time.
