QUOTE(basilisk @ Nov 25 2023, 11:52 AM) Looks real sweet! Just wondering when they will upgrade the instrumentation of the GT and Inter as per the Super Meteor and Shotgun. Hope they give those 2 slightly more updated instrumentation.

Different views on the Continental GT. 1) Simple upgrades and ride as is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpM-mTGV25s2) Full suspension upgrade till it feels like a Thruxton (review by Yammie Noob) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNiaZlljM-4How would you do up your Continental GT? Or just leave it as it is as when leaving the showroom?

QUOTE(lowpro @ Jan 31 2024, 10:43 AM) You perhaps went the 2nd route in upgrades  Brakes and suspension will cost more, and the return of investment are usually intangible things like comfort and confidence. suspension is usually a must - at least a thicker fork oil, or full internals/cartridge. Revalved shock, or aftermarket shock.

cafe racer can see cannot ride, my reasoning are, very low clip-ons, some fuel tanks not designed for rider support, seat not sufficient rider support
cafe racer is like taking a naked/street bike to mod become a naked sportsbike, then maybe adding an Imola styled cowling then, another type, using pure sportsbike remove the plastics, and become streetfighter

For those who don't like cafe racers, well, I have no problem riding my SV650X for long distances (I just didn't like the handling). Royal Enfield has this version of their 650 coming soon. The Scambler version. I think it's gonna be too heavy for 47hp but have a look at this...(there's a video in the link...photographer probably pissed off the test rider!  ) https://www.rushlane.com/royal-enfield-scra...e-12454953.html This post has been edited by lowpro: Feb 1 2024, 08:08 AM

QUOTE(basilisk @ Feb 1 2024, 08:00 PM) They're no longer at Gasket Alley by the way. RE and Harley are I think still temporarily in the corridors of Motorplex (next to Gasket, where Vespa is) until their new showrooms are ready. I might drop by this Saturday to cuci mata on the bikes. I like the Conti GT even more now that it has LED lights, a USB charger and alloy wheels. Unfortunately the upgraded Conti GT and Interceptor only comes in 2 colours. Here's hoping that 2024 will bring in more colours and hopefully also, upgraded instrumentation to be more in line with the Super Meteor and the Shotgun.
