Yeah the No Noise is great for riding.

Takes the edge off without causing that underwater internalised breathing feeling.

The Chinese headset unit I have just didn’t pump quite enough volume for me in general, even worse without plugs, but believe Sena will far exceeed that.

Not particularly impressive. Fettled & an extended swingarm.

Good friend of mine ran mid to low 9's over 10 years ago. She was running a Hayabusa with some mild fettling done on it by Dyno by Quint, stock standard frame & swingarm.
 
going to go look at a VFR800 on sunday, all the reading and videos says all the right things but the final test is to see it and sit on it in real life to know if i really connect with this bike

That is always the thing.

I’ve gone to ride a number of bikes I expected to be in love with that I just hated. (VFR1200 oddly one of them).

Flip side I rode a few with little knowledge of beforehand and loved them.

Sometimes all the reading should be done after the fact.
 
Traditional Motor Co have just received their first shipment of FB Mondial's.

I really like the looks, a mix between a Triumph Bonnie Bobber & a Ducati rear hugger/numberplate holder.

Just think I'll be bitterly disappointed with the lack of power.

My helmet visor wasn't properly secured and flew off while riding.
New one cost R1200.00

In the new Mission Impossible movie, Tom Cruise ride without a helmet for a longish distance. Tears were streaming down my face until I got to the spare shop.

It’s the one reason I don’t get the American obsession to forego helmets.

Beyond safety it’s purely practical.
 
So while moving my bike this morning I noticed something has leaked yellow oil, so it's either brake or shock oil. So now to call BMW for a pickup service and to check October's service record to see what oil they replaced.

They would have definitely done brake fluid.

If it was an expensive one that caught you off guard they may also have done the fork. But those I would expect you to see easily that oil was leaking from the seals.
 
I think I need an upgrade.

Looking for something affordable that will be comfortable to drive daily to work and back (quick, quiet drive), but also be able to handle an occasional longer trip (CPT to PE, for example).

Current bike is a 2012 CBR250R.
 
I finally got rid of the Gomoto and upgraded to a Twister. What a great improvement in all areas, it just feels really solid and reassuring. Only 2000k so still very fresh.

Are there dedicated Honda service shops (dealerships) or would I have to go to the local bike repair shop for services?
