never been a fan of the naked street fighter style bikes. when it crashes you’re replacing engine parts, not plastics.

not if you have frame sliders.
comeon. what good is a little piece of plastic gonna do when a 400 lb machine comes down on top of them? I’ve bought 3 bikes that have been wrecked, and they all still have rash on the case covers and/or damage elsewhere even though they had plastics on em. but people are so fucking stupid they get scared when a bikes been down. check the frame, swingarm, subframe, wheels and forks. hell not even all of those need to be straight. i replaced the forks, clipons, rearsets, and wheels on a bike and it was perfect.
btw this is the bike I’m waiting for. I ride sportbikes on the track, but I want something comfy but badass for the street.
so much hotter than a ducati monster
