davetapson Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 Love this quote: It shook its steering head like a dog coming out of a swimming pool and the rear end hopped around like the frame had a hinge in the middle. All things considered, the only thing this bike did right was not leak around the gas cap.” Yeah, and: "ran hot, detonated fiercely, stalled constantly and seized regularly." I have no idea why I want one, but I do. Wannabe 1

patches Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) Two. That's just showing off... Been down to the SI then? haha! I've been away for 3.5 weeks of the last 5 (Western Aus and the US), so my leave balance isn't looking too good. Unfortunately that meant no South Island bike relocation trip and I ended up just getting it shipped ($460). Fortunately I rigged up a little $15 WiFi Relay to my garage door motor and was able to open and close the garage for the delivery guy while I was at the Carrol Shelby Museum in Las Vegas. Better still, it doesn't look like he knicked anything, hahaha Edited November 28, 2019 by patches Long Wheel Base 1

The mistress (in stock guise) will be getting a makeover and ultimately replace the wife at the top of the food-chain. Zatopek 1

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 So, I have secured a buyer for my RD350:)Decent price too, it's my last bike.Only little problem is it's not all in one piece currently, needs assembling:(
Allrounder Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 Do any of you know where I can take my bike for dyno tuning in the northern suburbs after I change the exhaust.

Will give him the necessary skills to look after / repair and service his bike himself in future. Edit: That's what I would have done if I bought another bike like that. (but then again, I'm a sucker for punishment .) Edited November 28, 2019 by Wannabe
IceCreamMan Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 mate popped round last night having just taken delivery of the new T7....damn hat a beautiful motorbike. will see him again this weekend and take pics. Yamaha have a winner here for sure. Were I in the market for a dual sport again it would be in my shed no issue. ITs a tall bike though, will deter some. That motor is also well proven being in a variety of bikes already. BSG, Spokey and patches 3

That motor is also well proven being in a variety of bikes already. Yeah the Tenere 700 has grown on me. Initially I was a little disappointed when the production model looked like a very watered down version of the T7 concept which they ran the world tour with. It also happened to come out about the same time as the KTM 790 Adventure R, which caught my eye. But the 790 came in at a very steep price (here in NZ). Approx R80,000 more than the Yamaha. The 790's bold looks have also faded fast on me. The Tenere looks better in the flesh than it does in pictures, and it's not stupidly priced. 1yr ago I would have sold a kidney to try get the 790. Given the choice now I'd go for the Tenere, and save myself a small fortune.
patches Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 All the above said... I think I would sell a kidney for this... Husqvarna 901 Norden concept What a beaut! I love the scandanavian aethetics. It should age better than it's radical looking KTM 790 cousin. https://www.advpulse.com/adv-news/husqvarna-norden-901-concept-bike/ WrightJnr, Steven Knoetze (sk27), Wannabe and 5 others 8
IceCreamMan Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 T7 is a fantastic Moto. Yamaha going to sell em by the boatload. Wannabe, Spokey, Long Wheel Base and 1 other 4
