Which BMW model?

R1250 GSA

 

[DrSpeed]

R1250 GSA

Took my old 1200 GSA from CA to Deadhorse, AK and back!

 

[Najaf4life]

My daily is 2015 Jetta 6-speed manual tdi, not stock, I have gotten over 70mpg more than a few times. Average around 58-65mpg. SXS is 2019 Polaris General. 2018 CVO street glide is my baby. Neither the General or CVO is stock. Then the 1977 F-350 one day we will start restoring it.

 

[CarpenterR3]

Very nice collection sir. What have you done to the Street Glide to modify it?

 

[Najaf4life]

Thank you. When we got it, it already had screaming eagle slip ons. It has S&S 475 cam with custom tune. That cam alone has really woke it up. If I hit it right while shifting into second, it will bring the front tire of the ground some. Around a foot or so, with me staying in it.

Edit:
Well that was at least with the factory rear shocks. Has Legend Suspension rear shocks now that is a inch taller than factory. Put on two months or so ago, and haven’t gave it hell yet this year.

On the track, a Triumph Daytona 675 R

Had an Aprilia RSV4 Factory, but that damn V4 at up slicks at an alarming rate....I'd get 2-3 days per rear tire....

And the 2002 F350 with a Cummins Swap:

I'm not surprised in the least, she's a beaut. I've always been pleasantly surprised seeing Harley's lift the front up. I do not have the stones to try wheelieing a bagger and I admire those that do.

Also, DrSpeed. Very cool Triumph! Track-only setup I see. I've always found the Daytona's to be a blast. Also, that Cummins swapped Ford is outrageous.

Do you still have the GSA? I plan to do the Alaska run at some point, in fact we were supposed to do it this August but one of the guys has a baby due then and another is getting remarried so they kind of screwed the pooch on that. I did the track thing for a while in my late 20's and early 30's but those days are gone now, the back and hip just don't put up with it any longer. I had a few Ducatis (848, 1098S, 1198R) and a few BMW S1000RR's, of which my favorite was the HP4.

Used to do a lot of track days. My "local track" Heartland Park was chip and seal. I would only get 1 day out of a rear on a 600RR and 2 maybe 3 for a front. Everywhere else it was 2-3 for a rear.

Yeah, judicious use of the right wrist costs us a lot of money....<haha>....that chip seal causes more sliding and eats up the rear like no other.

Sold it during Covid - made some money from it as a matter of fact. I did put a lot into it too...brand new suspension, tires, and a GPS.

I never did take my 1098 on the track. I wasn't ready for tracks then - I was just getting started on my KTM RC390. Learned so much on that moto!

That S1000RR....love it to death.

Took Keith Code's Superbike School up at the Ridge in Washington..

I did my fair share of track days out at ECR back when I lived in Dallas.

 

[Mister Bevilaqua]

My around town run about/knock around scoot. I consider selling it almost daily lol.

My first car bought when I was 20. Still have it at 61.

I put S&S 575 cam in mine with a custom tune, intake and V&H ProStreet exhaust. She's loud and pulls like a freight train! I don't have a CVO, just a 2015 Street Glide Special, but I love it. I considered trading for a Road Glide Special, but elected against it as I don't want to dump cash on the engine to get what I have now.

That thing is killer! I had a Honda 90 for a while as a kid. It wasn’t something I rode to impress my friends, but I had lots of fun riding it all over. My buddy had one too, and we’d load our camping gear, gold pans, and sluice boxes on them and disappear up the creek for the weekend.
What year is your Honda?

I had a 90 as a kid as well, that's what initially spurred the purchase of this modern Trail, nostalgia outweighed logic lol. It's a 2022 model, fuel injected, LED lights, 4 speed. The main drawback to this modern version is the lack of the low range that made the 90 so great.
