Cos they are 'vegetable ' bikes.......Idle they should like "spud, spud, spud, spud, spud, spud, spud" and when you are moving and get the revs up a bit they go " potato, potato, potato,...

The did the same to the Kaikoura coast and Hundalees....

My Bro had experience with indians and he rode Truimphs right up until his first indian...now he has had 3(?). I liked the look of the FTR too, but am a little wary of the plastic fuel tank under the...

I had a similar experience but not with the noise....We (Wife and I) were riding and had a mate of mine on his bike with us. We were travelling up a long straight on the way home after a week away....

outlander please dont take me wrong, the DRs are a very good bike too. I used to have a DR250s and my brother rode a DR200 back in the day. And correct, the DR will make a great RTW as well. Its just...

I am not sure on that. That is like saying the suspension on a Rav 4 is not as good as the Hilux....The DR650 is a proper trail bike, where the Himalayan is a RTW bike. The suzuki is running more...

My old GSXR250 had an idle of around 3000rpm, 100 was around 9000 rpm but never fear redline was at 16500rom....It sounded fantastic four a 4 cylinder. You sounded like you were speeding when you...

rugerman Yeah, I hear ya, the Himalayan is not made for long runs on well made roads. It is made for long runs on low quality roads and tracks- that it does better than anything I have ridden...

That looks as good as the Honda GB400 of years gone by...love that look. (I know others looked like that before the Honda, but our neighbour had the honda and that is what started my interest in...

If you are highway hauling, the Himalayan is not for you. 90km max is realistic, possibly closer to 80 for extended periods. Redline should see it reach 120 but I have never even tried that with...

I am loving my RE Himalayan. Looking very closely at the twins too. They look the bees knees....

The fellow that makes Briford Trailers was importing them I think....

I remember being involved with speedway many years ago (I ran the club BBQ but did not race....) and when the bikes ran it was...

I dont own a harley and probably never will. Dont get me wrong, I dont have anything against harleys. I was bought up to make the most of every dollar I earn, and it is just that anything I can do...

You know why harley riders are the only riders not to wave at other bikes????? Too dam scared to let go dem bars .........I do lie the look of the Indian FTR 1200 but admit a hankering for a...

Just spotted a dream bike on Trade me...you know, the lotto one that I wanted as a kid and had the poster on the wall.....They sold for three years wages when new ($50k in the early 90s) and it is...

This Harley thing is a bit like 7mm08s. They are great for what they are designed for but other bikes do different things better....I have never had a Harley, but the 500cc LAMS one looks the part...

I think this is what he has in mind...Triumph Rocket III 2.3 litres of madness on two wheels....
...

Its a lot of fun and cheap on fuel. Dash board is up there with the best -2x trip meters (3 including the F which starts at 0 as soon as you have 5 litres left in the tank (reserve) , A clock, an air...

This is very close to what I did / am doing. I have a jap cruiser (XV1000) that I have had for nearly 30 years. Great fun to ride but I wanted more....I looked at what it would cost to "tart it up"...
