That puts me at 5 full sets after the knobblies wear down on the Dakars in a few thousand miles. I WILL be riding the spokes off that mo-fo this season. Fresh tires every change or are you going to be short a few rears if we get an ammo like tire shortage? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yamaha added the 6th gear with the 2016 model and apparently almost all of them were recalled. It's been quite a while since @JustinNck1 sold his five speed FJR, but I'm still gonna tease him about having (had) only five gears. If I had 6, everyone would be complaining of the pace 😂 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, the Wings are faster and more nimble than most people think. Even the last generation gl1800s. Pauly's post on the gl1800 site about the prices for the leftover 2018 gl1800s had me thinking really hard about picking one up. I'll get one in a few years. Right now my daughters love the old man's version of the old man's bike. Here is a photo of an old man with a preteen daughter on the Tail of the Dragon that chased down some sport bike riders. What you don't see in the photo is the other 2 sport bike riders that were passed to get to this group. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I moved on from a very different bike than what you are riding. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
