It really is a fun motorcycle. Not sure if I would want it as my only bike, but as a second play bike, it’s hard to beat. It’s a REALLY entertaining urban and short-range hooligan bike, but the FJ is a much better longer-distance mount. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member duhg Posted December 28, 2022 Premium Member Share Posted December 28, 2022 More matte paint for the garage. I rode it home minutes before the rain started and a day before the winter storm. It has 7 miles on it and probably will have until at least February, maybe March. However, I own a trailer and North Carolina is a day's drive away, so I might get to ride it sooner. Let the farkling begin! 5 2 https://ridemsta.com/oh-tmr/ Riding makes me happy.

Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted December 28, 2022 Premium Member Share Posted December 28, 2022 Only 7 miles and the headers already look like that?! Have fun kid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member texscottyd Posted December 28, 2022 Author Supporting Member Share Posted December 28, 2022 @duhg- Congratulations! I’ve really been enjoying mine, although I haven’t exactly been wracking up the miles. About 1,000 miles on mine since July, but I am spreading miles across three bikes. Are you keeping the FJ, and this is an addition? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member duhg Posted December 28, 2022 Premium Member Share Posted December 28, 2022 Yes, I'm keeping the FJ as my primary bike. The ST will be for "nice day" rides. I have a friend who loaded his ST up with luggage and toured on it, but his alternative is a Super Tenere, which is not as much fun in hot weather or on twisty roads. I'm happy to ride the FJ anywhere. 1 https://ridemsta.com/oh-tmr/ Riding makes me happy.

The ST will be for "nice day" rides. Exactly the arrangement I’ve settled on. The Speed Twin is hugely entertaining in bite-sized chunks: 150 miles with a stop or two for fuel & snacks. It seems to be a magnet for conversations with strangers (although the new-to-me XR1200 seems to be even more so), and puts a smile on my face every time I ride it. Great choice, and I know you’re going to love it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member texscottyd Posted February 17 Author Supporting Member Share Posted February 17 Hey @duhg - Just checking back in to see how you are liking the Speed Twin? I went ahead and did suspension upgrades on mine last summer, and I’m really happy with the bike overall. I hope all is well, and spring riding is almost here for you.

Premium Member duhg Posted February 28 Premium Member Share Posted February 28 Hey Scotty, In short, I love it. Still stock except for GIVI rack and Sargeant seat. Still not happy with seat. I put 7k miles on it. Love the motor. I may put rearsets on it to change the ergos a bit. 1 1 https://ridemsta.com/oh-tmr/ Riding makes me happy.
