Thanks! It's in the garage, go start it and bask in the awesomeness.

what a steal :thumbup:

I'd still like to buy it from you. Just tell me when you're done with it :wink:

questions:
I assume the 900 front end was an upgrade of some sort... what's different about it?

The high mount exhaust, does that remedy the full lean/clearance issues I understand those bikes have? Or are the pegs low too?

I took a peak at it, I'll bask tomorrow when I'm more awake.

To answer your questions, I give you a photo comparison.

This is a stock M750 of my generation:


and here's mine:



So you can see the exhaust is a lot higher, it's also closer in to the bike. If I carried passengers, their legs would actually probably rest on the exhaust itself, but since it's Ricerchrome, it doesn't really get that hot. I don't think the pegs are that low, but really the only bike I have to compare is the chickenhawk, which might as well have had landing gear on the side.

I would also like to draw your attention to the front wheel, where the stock bike has 1 disk on the left side, and my bike has a big ass wave rotor on both sides. That's the big difference. All the monsters have USD forks.

that is all kinds of awesome, congrats

FOR SALE
:?

[Apoc]

You're being suspiciously quiet about your reasons.

trade + cash for a somewhat busted vfr?

I think I'm done with motorcycles for the foreseeable future.

As far as my reasons, they boil down to:

* - I'm just not that into motorcycling. It's fun, sure, and I like it well enough but I don't love it. Pretty sure I could have almost as much fun attacking a back road in the Speed3 as leaning through on a bike.
* - Buying a house has put a big draw on our savings, and I'm not where I'd like to be financially. I'm not broke or anything, but I don't want to be put in a tough spot just because I wanted a toy.
* - None of my other hobbies are likely to seriously injure me through absolutely zero fault of my own.


It isn't a decision I came to easily or lightly, but I think it's the right one.

i hear ya... bravo... i'm halfway there, but haven't been able to put enough riding in to know for sure

ahh I saw this online and laughed over the "attitude: of the seller, I should have known it was an MMer


I'm kinda glad you just posted this, a couple weeks earlier and I would have had some tougher decisions to make.
