Supporting Member texscottyd Posted November 28, 2019 Supporting Member Share Posted November 28, 2019 A thread to drop interesting motorcycles found for sale online (eBay, Craigslist, et al) My thumb has been hovering over the ‘Buy It Now’ link on this VTR1000 Superhawk. Somebody please buy this thing so that I don’t... 1998 Honda Super Hawk ABOUT This Honda Super Hawk is... What else is everyone watching? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member texscottyd Posted November 29, 2019 Author Supporting Member Share Posted November 29, 2019 @rustyshackles - I saw your post about the Bandit 1250, but it seems to have disappeared temporarily. Nice bikes... I’ve ridden an early model Bandit 1200, but never one of the new liquid-cooled 1250s. Looks like a really fun bike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member rustyshackles Posted November 29, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted November 29, 2019 Yeah, I deleted, thinking a 2016 Bandit wasn’t interesting/unique enough for the thread. I do like the bike and it would be on my short list to replace my 2015 FJ-09. I’m not ready for a change yet but made the mistake of reading and watching Tracer 900 GT reviews...

BBB Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 This one looks interesting @texscottyd, someone close should just buy it 😉 1 Red 2015 Tracer, UK spec (well, it was until I started messing with it...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member texscottyd Posted November 29, 2019 Author Supporting Member Share Posted November 29, 2019 Ha! I see what you did there, @BBB... I’ll keep checking back on it periodically, but for now it’s still not for sale. Which is either good or bad, depending on your perspective...

I think anything that catches your eye qualifies here. It’s interesting to see what everyone has an interest in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tktplz Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 (edited) I had the same problem with this bike. Asked the boss, my friends, techs at work to talk me out of it. I already had a ZRX1100 i didn't need another 1100. BUT I wanted it........and dang it I bought it. Rode it like a stole it for 7 years and sold it. Great bike for something that zips right up to 150 MPH. Ole mans crotch rocked with handle bars. Yes those are handle bars on the ZX11 Ninja. My sport tourer before I wanted something lighter, in walks the FJ. Edited November 30, 2019 by tktplz 1 Ain't no fun when the rabbit gets the gun!

Guest Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 This Monster Evo 1100 tortured me for about 3 weeks before it finally sold and put me out of my misery. Boy I wanted it bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tktplz Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Yes Ducati does make pieces of art as well as nicely done motorcycles. Aprilia Tuonos do the same thing to me. Doesn't matter, early V Twins to now a monster V-4 and still in the 400 something pound weight. Just does something inside, ya-know? Ain't no fun when the rabbit gets the gun!

You could put dirt bike bars on it & take off the lower fairing, then pretend it’s a Tuono... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wordsmith Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 This is a BMW R9T, somewhat rare around here. It would answer some of my lack of enthusiasm for later BMWs boxer twins - of which I've owned many - developed over a long time with them. They were becoming too complex, too heavy, too expensive, too fragile.. This variation goes back in time: other than ABS there are no electronics on this bike - no cruise-control, no mode selections, no adaptive cornering lights, no traction control, just pure bike. At only 785mm its seat height would suit me - no need to become a gymnast to easily climb on and off - and its relatively low weight of 220kg fully-fuelled and low c of g would help with stability. Visually, it's pretty quirky, and somewhat derided as a poseurs's bike, but I like it very much. 2 Riding a fully-farkled 2019 MT-09 Tracer 900 GT from my bayside home in South East Queensland, Australia.

Supporting Member texscottyd Posted December 1, 2019 Author Supporting Member Share Posted December 1, 2019 @wordsmith - I personally really like the looks of the R9T, although I’ve never ridden one. It was the R1200C of 20-ish years ago the still stands out in my mind as the huge BMW misfire... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
