Had to shake the legs a bit when I got off to get the pins and needles out of the bumski

Sheepskin seat covers apparently provide much greater comfort. Or just get a BMW

Doesn't help if you are a weak ass fat boy but riding on the highway between 120-140 i don't really want to stand up

Hiway speeds = Agreed - No No.
But as soon as you get onto the offramp and decelerating... Try it. I've always had numbbum issues. Harley. Superbike. Dual. And have tied many seating positions to compensate. Nothing worked. But never got it on my MX bikes. Probably because so much "on the pegs" riding. Tried getting on the pegs periodically when on the road... Voila. Numbbumb gone.

I don't have issues standing up...? It's not exactly difficult...

At the moment my KTM 1050 is getting the same fuel economy as my polo used to. Admittedly I drove the polo like a granny and the KTM like not granny. Do you think it will get better when the engine opens up a bit with some miles? I'm not complaining though, if I wanted fuel economy I would have bought the Honda

Nice, what app is that?

as mentioned, aCar
It also has service item tracking as well, and will pop up reminders when things become due (eg chain clean every 1000km, lube every 500)

Shut your whore mouth!



Yesterday riding to Honda, I took the long way around, getting on the M1 at Glen Hove, driving north towards Buccleuch Interchange, swap over to N3 South, at gillooly interchange I go East on the N12, and get off at Rondebult rd at Boksburg. 43km round trip. When I got on the highway, my bike was telling me I was doing 4.3L/100KM. When I stopped at Honda, I had a numb arse and was doing 3.9L/100KM.

You've got to love the fuel economy... but then, I get 2L/100KM (...at a cost of power )

Yeah if I only ever did max of 80km/h my BMW would also get 2L/100.

Yes but I do it at 7500 rpm so mine is better

I've actually looked at getting a bigger bike but I love this one so much... even if I look ridiculous on it

I'll almost lend you my BMW to provide that wrong. Bloody seat is a razor.

Not my fault you didn't get a 1200 My old 650 was certainly not comfortable!
