I think Honda's blacked out Shadow Phantom looks better...

i've always like the Shadow Phantom, but they've discontinued it...the only "cruisers" Honda has now are the Rebel 250 and 500.

^^Yep!

Still available in the US though....

I go and say I don't need a speed machine and then you show me this...   Not sure about the drag bike extension...but damn...there's a part of me that would love to take that for a ride.  Bet it sounds amazing too.

But, after having not really ridden in, eek...20+ yrs...probably:


And this


And this

i guess the new Honda ADV 150 scooter is a big hit, so much so they are having to ramp up production to keep up with demand...i wish this came here...there's a great video of it in this article (3 minutes, worth watching):

Was the same thing when the full size version came out...they had shortages and couldn't keep up with demand.

New V-Strom Adventure 1050XT looking pretty good.
Hmmm

[rrocket]

^^They had a similar model a year or two ago that came with gold rims and looked really sharp.

Thinking of trading the G450X for something more "Adventure Bike".    I also have to get the carb cleaned and back on the DR200SE to sell it in the spring.(I think that's all it needs)

^^I'm really sorry.  I accidentally hit "modify" instead of "quote" to your above post and deleted some of the technical details in it and hit "post" before realizing I was in the wrong mode.  Many, many apologies. 



KTM just showed their new KTM 390 Adventure at EICMA this week.  I expect there will be a harder core off-road "R" version too.

That KTM 390 Adventure looks like an appealing package and price.

More adventure or adventure bike? If the former then KTM 500 EXC or Husky FE501. You won't get more adventure on anything else.

Something more street and passenger friendly.  Like F800GS 'ish.  Dunno, I want a bike I'll ride more.    If I was looking to upgrade what I have now, those above mentioned bikes are on my short list, but I think I want something a bit different.

KTM 790 Adventure was Bike of the Year in a few places.

Any interest in that one?

Oh hell yeah KTM, but it's really new and I'm really cheap.    Not looking really hard, but if something interesting fell in my lap I might trade.
