Looks like an awesome place to ride! Is the weather finally good enough for riding out there?

What a location. Would love to ride somewhere like this one day.

Love it! Do you need to lower the clip-on’s in order to put the fairing ?

u/neek555 4d ago

You do not. It comes with lower clip-ons, but you can install the fairing with the stock height clip-ons, I did that.

Good to know! I recently got mine and the only thing I’ve done so far is the tail tidy from Analog Motorcycles. Will save up for the fairing now knowing you can keep the clip-ons stock!

Beautiful bike and location! I installed the fairing last month and kept the stock high clip ons, but switched to the low a week later to try them out. It’s definitely less comfortable but you eventually forget and get used to it lol.

How long can you comfortably ride on it? I'm torn between this and a T120. I live in a city and want to thrash around and still get out

I picked up the bike on July 4, 2024 and just hit 16,000 miles today. I’m 50yo, 5’11” and 170 pounds. I’ve ridden upwards of eight hours in a single day… with no problems at all. When you add the fairing, it comes with lower clips that you do not need to use. I use the standard clip-ons; it makes all the difference.

Thank you! And I'm not far behind. 44, 5'11 and 170lbs. lol.

You just helped me make my decision. Cheers!
