Favourite things you like about your motorcycle

But Christmas is still 8 months away...

I ordered it in August. Fucking Asians.

I chose my first Suzuki M50 because I wanted a mid-sized cruiser (750 to 900 cc), belt or shaft drive, something I could get my feet flat on the road on, and I wanted the instruments up on the bar not down on top of the tank.

I don't know why manufacturers can't calibrate that little oil level sight glass to show the oil level when the bike is on it's side stand - I'm going to make one of those lever bike lifts (2 x 8 x 2s screwed together, or an 8 x 4, pipe flange screwed onto the back of one of them, and you thread in a 1" pipe through a 32 mm hole through the wood into it to use as your handle when you want to ease the bike off the ground or stand it upright.

BANDITS ..

They pass Harley's with ease .. I fucken' love teasing them on the road ..

Hmmm, having previously owned a 1200 bandit , my BMW would leave it for dead around any tight windy roads.
Maybe not in a straight line, bandits have a ton of grunt.
I think your only fooling yourself.
When I ride my Harley I could not give a stuff what sports bike passes me and thinks they are fast.
You do not own or ride a Harley for those reasons. Dont fool yourself that any Harley rider may be jealous of a Bandit, or any other sports bike and its performance. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Favourite things you like about your motorcycle? That would have to be the 256 LED bike wheel light kit I just fitted.

On a mudbug? That would be nice.

Chuck some decent fork springs in and a Busa shock and it will keep up with most non-hypersports. And will cost less than a BMW service.

I love the grunt.

Love the brakes, though front rotors may be getting replaced.

I love the ergos, plushness and comfort (1240km in a day).

I really like the fact that it's economical (managed 359km from a tank).

Finding this bike rather addictive and have clocked up 31,000km in 14 months.
