    Ride the thing? Dont forget if you manage to exceed 100kms under any situation on a BMW, the bike will be automaticly be recalled by BMW. This limit drops to 95kms if you are wearing a BMW jacket!

    10bikekid was saying if you use a twin for adv riding they have less traction

    Looking a little more 'Adventure' ready. While putting it back together I have raised the front guard 10mm to give a little more clearance for some more adventeurous TKC 80's when the Tourances have done their thing. Cheers.

    "Shinko's" that be cheating Nordie Yah probably know how fantastic E07's are on wet mud - start ordering new bars, clutch lever etc now


    You could of saved some money Tim and shot down to plumbing world for ya garters, I'll have to get me self some TCK 80's - one hell of a knobblie if you got to raise your front guard 10 mm

    Still think RV125 would of been a better bet if bike height was a major factor



    Congrats on the new stead - be the berries for two up .....

    but more Attraction, i like dangerous's idea of Guzzi putting the small block V7 back into an NTX it would be like a mini stelvio

    Yeah those big cylinders sticking up on a 45 could act like a counter balance - works for tight rope walkers
