Yeah I get it. I think I’ve settled back on a Honda. I’ve got a guy in AZ willing to make me a good on one and shipping doesn’t look like it’ll be too terrible.Big Brain Bradley wrote: ↑Mon Nov 06, 2017 7:41 amI'll just say this: you already have one oddball thing.

I do have a fetish for interesting/weird bikes, which is what attracted me to the Berg . The 70* thumper is unique in its own right, but the whole bike is an interesting exercise in mass centralization and only weighs 260lbs to boot. Would be as interesting to ride as it would be to talk about.
The deciding factor (aside from cost) really comes down to the lack of aftermarket to make the bike “mine”.

I’m withholding judgement until I see it in the flesh. In the pics, it doesn’t look that great to me - seems off proportionally or something.

Generally retro/neo-retro styling isn’t my thing. But this thing - unfortunately it’s only a concept.

790 Duke unveiled. Design is a bit meh, but deleting the rear fender, ditching the mirrors for something sleaker, and maybe a rear seat cover or seat delete would help.
105hp @ 418lbs at the curb is Aftermarket exhaust w/ cat delete should shave another 10lbs easy.

Sharing the side profile because it looks better than the 3/4 view IMO.

True. Considering making offer with no motard setup and sourcing my own ramz. Wish TN guy hadn’t mismatched the plastics. I’d prefer red and white.Big Brain Bradley wrote: ↑Tue Nov 07, 2017 4:50 pmknoxville is alot closer and there is no shipping black hole and has wheels. even if you go yourself thats a day trip for you.4zilch wrote: ↑Tue Nov 07, 2017 4:35 pm 2 XR650R's
