Thread: What 2 wheeled (3 if you have a Spyder) toy do you have?

My F6 is currently up for sale. When I sell this I am upgrading to a D4. (Work Lease). Once I have taken all the good bits off my D3 and put them on the D4, whatever I sell this for will go towards the new purchase. I had my heart set on a Triumph Thunderbird but now I am not so keen as they are made in Thailand. A new Moto-Guzzi Eldorado is $24000 rideaway. Very good value compared with a Harley.

Currently have my M109R in the shop having the previous Exhaust modified and improved upon...

Factory they are Duals with Crossover.
Went to a 5" Cannon style for performance and weight.. (And the Bass - its all about the bass)...
Currently running some custom shorts which idle at 98db and shatter ear drums on decel...

Having the Cannon redone, Black Ceramic coated and will refit soon... Hopefully there will be a cool day to ride the 400km home

For the moment. Will probably let the wife learn to ride on it before selling it.

BTW, the Ali-Brite worked a treat!! Big thanks for that, my wheels look like new again

Can't wait to pick it up on Tuesday!

Yeah. 10k of dirt between my house and the nearest bit of tar is a bit of a sore point with the GT650R..... a dirt bike it aint! The Versys looks a tad more user friendly for the dirt.

My latest machine, the Ducati in the foreground. The Buell at the back is the machine she replaces... 100,000 kms of pretty reliable service, but too long in the tooth for the daily commute.

My wife's XV250 in the middle that has been pressed into commuter service for the past few weeks while waiting for the new bike.

The Buell has a gearbox output shaft bearing on it's way out. Normally a split-the-cases job, but I'm going to try and do a sneaky...

Hi Vlad, Guzzis are around second hand for reasonable prices, if you can sit and wait for one. Brisbane has reasonable support for them , but once you get to know them they are mostly serviceable at home.

1996 Moto Guzzi California 1100i

81.000 km is just run in for $7000, that's a lot of bike for your money.

My old black relic has about 160,000 kms and still runs perfectly. The clutch has been replaced and the exhaust valves, and cam chain, piston rings. I'll probably try to get it on club rego next year, I'd like to Keep it fully registered but it costs as much as a car to register. I have the 750 registered and I want to register one of the vespas as well, so the rego costs stack up unfortunately.
cheers simmo

Grrrrr hate the lot of ya.
Bring back memories of my beloved bike.
GSXR 1000 2008 model. Got it new and got rid of it a year or 2 ago.
Man i loved that thing!
More power than weight! Meaning fun to be had.

Not selling the Buell are you mate?


My GSX1400 is only about $9K from that magic 100,000 km mark... needs new brakes and tyres etc but she's only just run in !
