Topic: What Motorcycle Have You Been Obsessing About Today?

[me_2]

I thought this could complement the Mach-E nicely..

The Zero would be nice.
Is the Harley Livewire still the only one (yet) with DC fast charging capability?

I have to watch "Long Way Up" on Apple TV+

The Livewire is $35k+. DC fast charging is a + only if you plan to long distance travel with it, which I would not.

There is a 2020 SR/F available for $17K near Montreal.

As summer toy, both still far out of my reach. Let hope a day, newer alternative suitable for long distance become available but first thing first, need to be less expensive, at least to me.

Honda Monkey back in Canada for 2022!

But it's sooo expensive!!

I want to buy 2...one for me and one for friend to goof around on!

Standard ABS so it's really just a $1,200 premium over the Grom to get a mostly metal construction motorcycle instead of plastic.

I'd love to get that or the Grom in the next couple of years.

$5,299 plus all fees. So definitely expensive but no different than a Vespa or something similar. Presumably re-sale will be strong as well.

Had one of these at a site right by our lake lot, ooooohhhh, me likey a lot!! It had all the hardwall cases and everything, buddy looked like he was about to go to Mongolia after stopping for a beer at a buddies place lol

[Guy]

Yes, these look the part.

[Fobroader]

nice beamer,  they are a little heavy on the wallet

Yeah, you would probably have enough for a happy meal left over from $30k

It's also heavy to pick up!

That's ridiculous for that bike.

So much more bike for the money.

Just remember the saying: "There is little to no adventure on an adventure bike".

Yeah, for $5k plus, there are a ton of other bikes I would go over this. Its cool, but not at that price

Yeah, no thats fine, I just think it would be a great touring bike that can handle a fire road every now and then. I do not want a large dirt bike.

I spend a ton of time on fire roads (ok mostly decommissioned but still) and can honestly say I have seen a large displacement adv bike once. Once one gets to this size and girth you might as well get a Goldwing lol. Now outside the coffee shop in Bragg Creek? Chock a block of Klim clad long way around adventure types  It is a nice looking bike that I suppose would be fun to cruise down the street while pretending I was racing Dakar.

Basically this is the SUV version of the Goldwing.

[ktm525]

This provides adventure.

[Fobroader]

Nope...a $1500 dirtbike is what provides adventure, you can yeet it off a cliff and not really care.

[ktm525]

road legal and will get you around the world.

[Arthur Dent]

Still no plan to sell the Trail 125 in Canada I believe. I'd take that one over the Grom, Ruckus or Monkey.

[dkaz]

I would probably never do hard core beaten tracks anyway but FSRs are fine.

[Fobroader]

I have no plans on doing any hard core, single track, backflip xgames stuff so I have no need for a dirtbike. If I want to go offroad, I'll lift the jeep or buy a quad. A fire/lease road is about as off pavement as I want to get on a bike.
