Topic: What Motorcycle Have You Been Obsessing About Today?

I love mine.  It's not fast.  Doesn't handle that well.  But I love the look (I've customized mine to my tastes), the sound and it's just a comfy, super-easy-to-ride bike.

Janus released their new bike.

I really like the looks!

Cool! I didn't know this company or bike even existed.  Kind of like a Royal Enfield type of bike.

The gas tank reminds more of the old boardtrack bikes....

that does look cool...Bremo brakes and master cylinders along with braided steel lines...top notch hardware used too.

I just don't see the point of retro for the sake of it.

Just one (of many) niche markets.

I like the bike (in an artsy, handbuilt type of way)...just not $13K like!

Yeah, it's interesting, but it doesn't do anything for me.  I'd rather see a XR400R all modded up than this, but I'm not really sure why

Because you prefer dirtbikes??

Well yeah, but this looks like more fun than that retro machine



Or this

[rrocket]

This is a clean build!

See, now that really doesn't do anything for me. Those both looked like something the owner created out of 3 different bikes because he crashed them them all.

This is a clean build!

See, now thats a nice, clean build.

Gold wheels make everything better!

Yeah, it's only a matter of when, now, correct?  Not "if"?   Right?

I wish.  Spousal disapproval remains strong.  Some small signs of improvement - she volunteered that she thought the Street Scrambler was a "cool looking bike".    I'll take my small victories.

I'll take the course, get my license and see what happens thereafter.

Maybe you'll get to test ride one first and I can point to your review as a selling point - just keep referencing that it is a bike an older dude is unlikely to kill himself on - that'll help! 

[Fobroader]

Be careful with the "old dude won't kill himself", apparently you old guys on highway couches are rising the quickest on the kill yourself chart!!

Most likely to crash on the way from the dealership unfortunately. Be careful on the first few rides.

My wife is less excited about bikes since I blew up my collar bone. But their might be another bike in my future. Probably something a little heavier than the 250.

That's what happened to Sir O when he got his Duke 390

^ Ha ha, I remember that.  Reminds me of the first time I went to ride a local sandy track with my dirt bike.  My face was in the sand before I got to the starting gate.  How embarrassing.
