Does anybody in the metro area have a motorcycle trailer I could borrow this week?  Might have found a diamond in the rough and I don't want to let it get away.  I have an F-150 to pull with so I don't need a truck, just a trailer (my truck has a topper on it so I can't carry a bike in it.)

Thanks!

Martin, if you can't find a closer one, you're welcome to come down and borrow mine.

Thanks, TK, I think I will take you up on that offer, maybe tomorrow or Thursday or Friday.  What's your number I can call or text?

So we're waiting on two things this week; Steve's new Speed Triple, and Martin's magical mystery machine.

Overlooked one detail here Steve, $18k is just the base model, not the RS

My understanding is that there’s not going to be a base model in the US market, only the RS. Of course, the press release that I read may have been mistaken.

Truly a Hooligan Bike bred for Track Days or terrorizing your neighbors.

But, at that price one can get an S1000RR with 30 more HP and a few less pounds. (that's weight, not money E-Steve.)

Thoughts Bullet Bob, compare to your Aprilia?

Well, no joy from me:  Seller withdrew his bike from sale.  :( 

Since it fell through I can say what it was:  A 1995 Honda CB 1000 a/k/a "The Big One."  Only imported to the US for two years (1994-95.) 

Basically Honda's version of the Kawasaki ZRX-1100 (four years BEFORE the ZRX was introduced):  A big "naked standard" with twin shocks and a big round headlight.  Used a slightly de-tuned CBR1000 engine and had a 5 speed vs. the CBR's 6 speed. 

A gorgeous bike and tough to find on the used market because they were a sales flop, but then as sales flops often are, they became kind of a "cult bike."

Ah, well, I guess the cash goes back in the bank.   

Hey if anybody knows anyone who's got a ZRX-1100 or 1200 for sale, hit me up.  ;)

You’re supposed to be shopping for a dual sport!

Just looked it up; that's a sweet bike.  Sorry it got away.

And therein you see the problem. $4500 for a 22 year old bike with almost 30 grand on it. Five years ago I could’ve easily found a ZRX for under $3000. Lately however, prices seem to have skyrocketed. Not sure why. Maybe the pandemic?
