That's pretty cool. I like it without the top case. The red logo really pops, too.Quote:

I'm thinking that anything 50cc or less doesn't require a motorcycle endorsement. Most mopeds are 50cc or less and I don't know if they can be used to obtain the motorcycle endorsement.Quote:

My family was 1/2 owner of the local Honda motorcycle dealership at the time, so I borrowed a small street bike (200cc, if I remember correctly) and went and took my "test." The guy stood out in front of the building and told me to take it around the block. I made it back in one piece, so I passed! Good times.
Easiest way to get your motorcycle endorsement is to just pony up $200 and take a class. That?s what my wife did. Did a weekend long class then took her certificate of completion to the DMV and walked out licensed to ride.Quote:

3rd is on my first shakedown ride after I bought the bike from Cascade Creek near Idaho Spgs dropping over the pass into Georgetown.
Turns out dabbing foot in a rock garden isn't quite as easy when your ride weighs like 2 and a half dirt bikes.

it's been an active springtime for motorcycles around my house...
I already sold the BMW K1600GTL. It was just too much. Too much money, too much weight, too much to go wrong with it. Not enough time to justify having something like that in my garage.
Looking back on it, I really liked my 2014 NC700x and told everyone it was my favorite of all time. The only thing I wished for at the time was a little bit more road going capability and less "dual sport" feel. In all reality, the NC wasn't very well suited to off-road anything and by trying to be off-road capable, it gave up a bit in touring capability.
Having been a huge Honda fan since I was in kindergarten, I'm embarrassed to admit that I never knew the NT700 even existed. It was a big seller in Europe, but it never really caught on here and was only offered for a limited time. The buyer for my big BMW left my driveway last Sunday at about 5pm and I spent the rest of the day surfing Craigslist for a replacement bike. I found this one and bought it on Wednesday from a guy over in Boulder. It's a 2010 with only 6500 miles. I'm pretty sure I paid 30% too much, but I liked it and I don't care!
It needs 2 new tires. I'm pretty convinced I want the Michelin Road 5's, but I've never mounted a motorcycle tire before and I think I'd like to just pay someone to do it. I seem to remember there's a member with a motorcycle shop in Denver and I'd like to send the business to a forum member if it's feasible and if the member wants to mess with something as mundane as mounting a few tires. I can remove and reinstall the wheels, so I'd just drop them off.
In any case, here's my latest...
