  1. It's more of a suggestion. Kinda like your mother saying "Be a good boy" Or maybe plausible deniability. The corporation saying "See! Right here we told them it was dangerous." I have been in triple digits with side cases a small pelican box on the luggage rack and a 30lb dry bag on the passenger seat. It was fine.
  2. I'm 6' 1" also. Long legs 34" inseam and a short torso. It does work pretty well. While I don't spend a lot of time on the Interstates. I like riding smaller secondary roads. The ErMax has been my go to for years.
  3. "Been missing the planted, solid feel of my 2010 VFR1200F since I sold it ib 2018" Not trying to be a d**k. But. Why? I have 2010 Honda Vfr1200f. A very cool and rare bike here in the states. People are always asking about it. Very fast, loads of torque, just a blast to ride. On to the question. Maybe a Kawasaki Versys 1,000..... 118hp isn't replacing the 170-ish the VFR made. Still in Kawasaki mode. H2/SX? They do have side cases for it. And it has the HP#'s
  4. A bump for a great deal. I have a 2015. Just the cases were $1,000
  5. THIS 👆 At 68,000+ miles I have NEVER had to add a drop of oil between services. While I don't do track days at all, or wheelies much any longer. I'm still fairly quick and don't mind riding fast. If you're adding oil, something is up.. Just my $.02. YMMV
  6. Been running one with a small wing off and on for years. Sometimes if I'm going on a long trip I'll throw a taller ErMax on if I feel I will need more protection.
  7. It's my understanding that Akra's don't need it. I could be wrong though
  8. It's South Florida. Which basically means "who knows why" 😃🤷‍♀️
  9. I started on the street in 1974. I don't recall ever having a bike that didn't bang into 1st. Some were a bit louder than others. But still.
  10. But they last nearly forever. I have a SwMotech tank bag that I've had forever and I bought it used here. If you buy quality stuff you generally don't have to replace as often. YMMV. Good luck and post pictures of your decision. 👍
