Isn't the official over-the-hill bike a Goldwing?

MV Agusta tend to be pretty aggressive rides all around. I've never been an aggressive rider. I love italian shit - cars, bikes, whatever. But I think it would be helpful for me to have something that I can ignore and just jump on when I want. Italian stuff is a bit more high maintenance.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I predict this thread going a bunch of pages only to result in a purchase of a 9t at it’s conclusion.
Rocket3 is also a great suggestion. Completely trouble free power for days.
If you want to go Italian there’s the Diavel which is a super fun ride.
DOES ANYONE NEED A GO-JUICE?
ya, that's a good point. I never felt my monster 750 to be slow...but it never felt fast either.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Well, the 9T is the leader in the clubhouse, but this isn't really meant to be a "help me decide on a bike" thread as much as a "let's discuss midlife crisis bikes that are cool and not pathetic" thread.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Whats the trackhawk of bikes? Get that.
Ah I see, I misunderstood the assignment
DOES ANYONE NEED A GO-JUICE?
Good point - I hadn't looked at their recent lineup. Wow, now that I have, I'd still say that their Turismo Veloce might fit the bill.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
You're almost never going to ride the damn thing, so don't worry too much about the typical Italian nonsense maintenance. Fuel stabilizer + E-Slow(TM) battery tender and you're off!
All these naked bikes with zero fairings or windscreens don't jive with me. I wear a racing suit and a full-face helmet on my squid crotch rocket and look stupid enough.
I'd point & laugh at someone wearing that on some of these naked bikes but I don't know how you'd survive if you wore thick jeans and an open faced helmet on a highway with some of these bikes. A wasp hitting me through my leather leaves a mark, so these bikes with nothing to deflect anything look great, but seem even more impractical.
Is your Monster particularly unreliable?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

It's a good point, although I won't have the opportunity to do much touring...too busy and too many kids to launch off for a big excursion. I think they have reasonable gear now pants-wise that have enough protection for a crash. Bugs has never been a huge problem, but I would never consider an open-face helmet. Grinding my jaw off on the pavement has never been a goal of mine. I've always preferred naked bikes - and like cars for me a bike is as much about how it looks/feels/emotion blah blah.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Then I think the best thing you can do is get that Monster out for at least 5 rides and make a list of the things it's not fulfilling. Then find something that ticks more of those boxes.
I rode my bike twice this year… I keep going mountain biking instead when I have free time… doesn’t help with WFH and nonsense I don’t need to be anywhere either… used to use it a lot for general running around that doesn’t exist anymore

Too much bike for meThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
[insert purse/skirt joke]
I took mine out once last year and that was to run it out of fuel and top it with 1L of stabilized V-Power (which I naturally carried with me in... a San Pellegrino bottle!)
Guess what, fatty - when you get back from your second ride, I bet your back will hurt and you can return to complaining about F12 prices in Canada! LoL!!This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
So go buy a Panigale Corse and be cool. Or go buy an Indian with footbeds and grow a ridiculous, pointy, chin-beard that you crudely dye reddish brown.
*Wait - can you buy an Indian the day after OrangeShirtTwo Day?
