First, congratulations on the new bike! It looks really well cared for. I'm 602, 34" inseam, used to wear an Arai full face and now a Schuberth C5. For me the Puig touring screen, with lip, did not perform very well in most measures. I installed a Madstad and it is honestly amazing. If...

Did you bring the bike home? If so, first impressions?

Unfortunately, I did not.

Everyone buys bikes for their own reasons and it’s unfortunate the helmet issue is a deal breaker. That said, most people love this bike. A lot of us have let our NCs go and then have regrets so substantially that we wind up buying another. I’m not judging your reasons for making it a deal...

Any friend of @the Ferret is a friend of mine! Never met him in person but seemingly a very good person. Welcome and enjoy the bike!

If it does not have an aftermarket seat, you may find that you’re going to replace it. That change is likely to change geometry and may solve the problem. I had the same issue with my VFR, switched to Corbin, problem solved. The stock seat has a reputation and I’ll leave it that.

Yup. This is a 2022 and it had the whole shebang replaced, lines, pump, etc. My understanding of the gen 3 is that it was nearly incomparable to previous generations and has great reliability. But, someone I know who knows a lot about these engines (former GM engineer…now working on AI for...

More a friendly jab than a dig. You know what? No. It was a dig. You should clean your bike, Mickey. It’s disgusting. Tongue in cheek of course.

That is a very well cared for vehicle. As @the Ferret knows, I appreciate a well maintained vehicle...with doors or without.

That is awesome that she’s come out of two wheel hibernation! Sounds like a nice day!

A truck has shortcomings for sure, parking requires more skill for instance. But like motorcycles, master it or it masters you.

I drove them all, except the maverick and the Santa Cruz. This ram with air suspension rides better than any of them; the Honda was very good too, but not the right vehicle for me (but that is really well engineered vehicle.) I did like the looks of the GMC Sierra but the ride quality was not...

That Maverick is getting insanely positive reviews. It’s like a cult.

Thanks Dave! That is quite a testament to the durability of these Ram diesel engines. This thing jus pulls, shifts so smooth, and is actually very quiet.

Thanks! The engine gets excellent coverage and owner reviews. My understanding is that many find 5k service intervals serve this vehicle well.
