Here is the latest information regarding this new H-D GS model. Better late than never, I guess. It does seem to have some interesting features including a new engine:
...

It just hit 80 degrees F at my home today. That is the warmest day so far this year. It is supposed to cool off tomorrow and get back to normal (55-60) a day later. Still no real rain in sight,...

Here is the story, such as it is. It looks like they are using the last Buell Rotax 1190cc V-twin engine to power their first models: ...

What I was thinking of is that when you are on a ride and park your bike and walk away, you can forget and leave the key in the lock. Having the key fob not leaving your pocket means that you don't...

That is the nice thing about the keyless system. You can keep the fob somewhere on your body where the sun don't shine and just leave it there. When You walk a meter or two away from your bike it...

Here is a review by Motorcycle.com that contains a lot more detail regarding the Ducati Multistrada V4S than did the Revzilla article: ...

Welcome, hamm38. I have a friend who owns a 12-year old ST and he is very happy with it.

Welcome Mark. Thanks for the useful advice. I am sure that we all hope you will visit and enjoy the F800 forum frequently. [:)]

You are right. I had forgotten that the F800 keys were chipped. Those replacement keys seem expensive to me, compared with hardware store cut keys. I guess the next move for the OP is to check with a...

I would recommend contacting the nearest BMW dealer. With your bike's VIN number and proof of who you are and that you are the owner of the bike, I believe that they can order you a new key or two...

I am on the very tail-end of the storm that is hitting Washing and Oregon. It is 50 degrees F and drizzling here this morning. While I sure wouldn't want to experience the cold temperatures, snow,...

One thing I forgot to mention is that the article said that the Multistrada only got between 31 and 35 mpg - and that was likely using premium fuel. [:0]

Here is a long article about the new Multistrada V4S, which now has a V4 engine with spring actuated valves instead of desmodromic valves. What is very impressive to me is that the first major...

Some manufacturers are discontinuing their longtime models this year, perhaps because they don't want to upgrade the bikes to meet Euro 5 emission regulations. These models include the H-D Sportster...

Welcome, Riggie. I am sure you will enjoy your GT when it arrives and your weather warms up a bit. In the meantime, I hope you will also enjoy catching up on the F800 models and their owners on this...

Unfortunately Alta is a dead duck, thanks to H-D backing out of their financing deal. [:(!]

My 2009 F650GS pulls well from 2K rpm on 87 octane fuel. Not a ping in sight. [:)]

Welcome, Patickcarey. Naturally there could be a number of things that could cause your hesitation issue. The first thing that comes to my mind is you might have water in your fuel. Your fuel filter...

A couple of interesting motorcycles showed up at Alice's Restaurant this morning. And I will also toss in two photos of a well-used Brammo Empluse electric motorcycle.

It was a sunny and relatively warm morning at Alice's Restaurant today. So this beautiful 1950's (I assume, not being a Corvette expert) Corvette showed up in the parking lot. [:)]

This is an interesting Revzilla article discussing why inexpensive motorcycles are becoming hard to find this year. And some of the reasons have to do with the pandemic restrictions, stimulus...

On a related subject: Here is a long but very interesting and informative article regarding the current state of the lithium battery recycling industry and processes: ...

I don't think Safetyfirst is going to get much in the way of an investment in their product out of this crowd. :rolleyes:

Anyone for a rather expensive all-electric motor home? Better get the premium model if you want to go any distance and don't tell the campground host that when you hook up the juice that you will be...

I never tried to use the cell phone system to check the belt tension. What I use is the cheap Gates belt tension gauge that you place on your belt, push down until it clicks and read the tension on...
