TEWKS Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 You may be very pleasantly surprised. Get yourself a demo ride. Pat Link to comment
TEWKS Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Not sure if this kind of ride would even be in your wheelhouse but if you decided to test one, Pro Caliber in Vancouver has an excellent mechanic named Shawn Smoak. Don't know him personally but he has a YouTube channel and the shop seems to have many happy customers. http://www.procalibervancouver.com/?utm_source=business-listing&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=gmb Pat Link to comment

TEWKS Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 They would be silly fun! Pat Link to comment
Lone_RT_rider Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 They would be silly fun! Pat "Max Output 8.04 hp @ 8000 rpm" lol... yeah, not a bike for my fat arse. Link to comment
gordiet Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 Think I'll stick with two wheels. Rode one of those things once. Not for me. Link to comment
gordiet Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 I'm thinking more HP. Link to comment
TEWKS Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Think I'll stick with two wheels. Rode one of those things once. Not for me. Yeah get it, only mentioned it because I thought I read in your for sale ad something about age being a factor in your decision to sell. (Could have been somebody else ) Anyhow, the newer Spyders with the three cylinder motor and the F-3 chassis are quite a different animal compared with the older models. Pat Link to comment
gordiet Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 Changed my mind. I'm in excellent health so... I'm going to order a new XR in the new red,white and blue model. Link to comment
gordiet Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 I really like HP and miss the grunt of my K1600. This 1000XR should be a kick😎 Link to comment

Haha I thought the same, one of my old friends bought a Kawi Z125 Pro KRT and said he was doing 63 mph two up!! He bought it as he still laments selling his KX1000 ELR 15 years after the fact. These mini motorcycles are a big deal in Japan and all kinds of aftermarket performance parts are showing up. 12 HP will curl your eyelids back lol- not so much but they are pure fun and that should be what M/C riding is about Link to comment
Antimatter Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 The Grom is all the rage with the younger (mid-30's and up) riders locally. Lots of club racers own them for hooligan/town bikes, and for use as a pit bike at the track (to get around). When they get cheap in a few years I might be tempted. Link to comment
