Title: Further proof I'm white trash Post by Armen on 01/09/17 at 18:32:56 Just read that the average income for R9T buyers is in the $150-175K range, and that 10% of them are first time bike buyers. |

Title: Re: Further proof I'm white trash Post by Kris01 on 01/09/17 at 18:40:56 Suzuki Savage LS650/Boulevard S40 ~$6000 95% are 1st time buyers. I'll stick with mine! ;D |

Title: Re: Further proof I'm white trash Post by Dave on 01/10/17 at 04:14:40 Yes, one very common asset among the members or this forum, is that we tend to be somewhat frugal. What other forum chooses to adopt bikes that are so primitive and affordable, and recommends $50-$60 Shinko tires as the best choice for bikers on a budget? I would really like to have a BMW motorcycle someday (R 1200 RT) - but in reality that will likely never happen, as I am not in that higher income bracket, and I just cannot divert that kind of play money to an expensive motorcycle. Instead....I enjoy riding and tinkering with my 30HP mistress! (I have given her jug an augmentation!) :) |

Title: Re: Further proof I'm white trash Post by Ruttly on 01/10/17 at 04:54:58 Dave , I think we all would like to spend a years salary on a bike without being tossed to the streets by our wives. I could buy some fancy high tech bike but I don't. For me it's a little more primal,like cooking meat on a stick over a fire and a air cooled big single takes me back in time. One cylinder,one carb & big exhaust gets it for me. Simplicity , oh yeah ! What a thrill when you built it and now you riding it , so rewarding , so much freakin fun ! I know I'm sick ! |

Title: Re: Further proof I'm white trash Post by MShipley on 01/10/17 at 08:15:16 Three years ago I had A 2009 Savage, 1999 1100 ACE Honda, 2002 HD 1200 Sportster and a 2015 Triumph Bonneville. Got a wild hair and sold them all. Today I own a 2005 Suzuki Savage. Works for me. Only one I wanted to replace. |

Title: Re: Further proof I'm white trash Post by MShipley on 01/10/17 at 08:26:00 Sorry 2012 Bonneville. |

Title: Re: Further proof I'm white trash Post by old.indian on 01/10/17 at 08:32:59 Like the saying goes... "Old age and a devious mind ....." http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1455307251 As with all projects, I'm still at it... :-[ "Maintenance" morphs into "upgrades" and "head scratching" into "changes / modifications"....... Front forks and brake... Yup... Now I'm in the process of converting to a chain.... (Although I'll keep the belt and pulleys on the shelf for a while.) As the Goldwing rider told his passenger... "THAT'S Old School"... 8-) |

Yeah, but all it really does is take you from point A to point B and lose half it's value in 3 years. Think of all the cheap beer you can buy with that. ;D |

Title: Re: Further proof I'm white trash Post by Ruttly on 01/10/17 at 09:57:49 Yup that's a lot of PBR , Cheers ! |

Title: Re: Further proof I'm white trash Post by springman on 01/10/17 at 12:06:02 I would love to have a Ducati Scrambler, but even that I feel is a bit too much for me for a non necessity. It is nice to dream though. |

Title: Re: Further proof I'm white trash Post by Ruttly on 01/10/17 at 12:43:46 Yeah not many new bikes appeal to me but I can see myself riding a Ducati Scrambler ! |

Title: Re: Further proof I'm white trash Post by LANCER on 01/10/17 at 15:13:07 Personally, I'm quite fond of big jugs, so round and fully packed. |

Title: Re: Further proof I'm white trash Post by SALB on 01/10/17 at 15:20:33 I see my bikes like the old work truck. Why spend tons of money if you're going to hack it or use it all up. That said, I wouldn't mind having a KLR650 and a 2wd Ural sidecar. Oh, and something besides a carport to park them in. |

As for the carport, I live in a Condo, and the HOA would have some serious objections. Hopefully, in the next couple of years, I can buy something with an actual heated garage were I can work. ;) |

Title: Re: Further proof I'm white trash Post by MMRanch on 01/10/17 at 21:47:51 I guess great minds do think alike ... The " Ducati Scrambler " caught my eye too .... ::) not as practical as my LS but , Its a Handsome Machine to my eyes ! 8-) |

And the R 1200 RT is so loaded down with electronic stuff (traction control, suspension settings, ABS).....I don't know what/how I could get it fixed if something went wrong. When it is working right it is reported to be the best sport touring bike ever built. |

Title: Re: Further proof I'm white trash Post by engineer on 01/12/17 at 12:18:49 I've been thinking about that 310R BMW, light weight, good seat height and fast enough for the back roads that I travel. In short all the same reasons I like my S40. Except, it probably needs to rev a little to put out some decent power and torque. The new small Kawasaki Versy looks interesting also. I don't ride the S40 because it is cheap, I ride it because I like it. I like my motorcycles light and simple with some low end torque. |

Title: Re: Further proof I'm white trash Post by old_rider on 01/12/17 at 16:45:55 Same here, it is why I have a 300 Ninja, it is almost maintenance free.... and gets roughly 64 miles to the gallon most times :) |
