Storms work well as a commuter, except in city traffic for more than half an hour, I'd say. They are very easy to use in less than ideal weather, and even in ice and snow they cope. But when you do get a bit of straight road or a few bends on a dry day they reward you. They'll overheat in summer in...

is the Augusta your commuter now that you love VTRs

ha, ha, ha, ha

Let me know your thoughts on VTR thirst, it's a beast

Welcome back to the bitumen on your less enduro thumper !

GDay Brewed,

it's a good forum this one innit!

Only this week after 2k kms on a VTR I've come to think the calipers+ weren't up to it. I'm sure your improvements will fix it.

they look Star Trek, nice

Red and gold colour scheme, a classic motorsport combination

useful comparison of key features. did you make a video of how the ride compares? incidentally, just how cold does it get in perth? Video riding comparison, nope, the TRX fork legs had spot rust & the seals were gone. Which is why it's gone and the VTR is here. Perth WA weather, if horse trough...

welcome

I'll see what I can add to the Jokes thread to tide you over

Thought about a TDM900 engine in the TRX?

VTR is fine for now, we're still getting to know each other...

A while ago I promised a VTR <--> Yamaha TRX850 comparison as I was getting off the long term latter for the former. Here it is in its potted glory. VTR on the left, TRX on the other 6spd - 5spd 90 degree, different cam size twin - 270 degree crank parallel twin OneHundred and (thanks Wicky) 50cc mo...

G'day, are we missing something here. Probably, hoped someone would know though because I don't. Was hoping the curve of the pipe inlet end in the photo compared to original pipe curves would be an aha for someone. I may have to go for a drive to find out... Is the Beast from the East a distant mem...

Gentlefolk, an opinion here please, no guarantees required. i have a quote for new Staintune pipes for AUD$1200 or these across town secondhand, haven't seen them in the flesh yet Staintune pipes for $400. Thoughts on successful fitment & a guesstimate on any missing parts to have them fitted of...
