So I'm planning a couple of road trips this year as well as a European motorcycle tour and all this Aerostich coverage on Rideapart has me considering a Roadcrafter.

Anyone here have one? @John Doe?

 

[John Doe]

Sorry, no. I don't have any experience with that. All you really need anyhow are cut offs and flip flops.

I leave the flip flops at home unless the bike has to be kick started.

I dont think I am mature enough to own a roadcrafter suit but if I were, I would do a 1 piece number

The folks on ADVRider will wear pretty much nothing but Aerostich - I don't think you could go wrong.

I know what you mean. They don't look bad on slimmer builds though.

A 1978 ducati 900 NCR went for $175,500 at auction in Vegas yesterday.

Wow, bikes have really come a long way. I can't imagine the human this bike would fit lol.

I would love an 888

I've got both of these in the garage and I can attest to the fact that they are, in fact, torture devices. Nothing, however, sounds better or feels more visceral.

 

[Cool The Kid]

****, I bet those look and sound beautiful though. Shame Ducati is finished with air cooled motors....

So if you were going to buy a sportbike, would you do an 899 Panigale ($15K), a Triumph 675R (13.5) or just go with an Aprilia RSV4R ($15K).

Given the Aprilia pricing, I just don't understand how the Panigale fits in...

 

[Cool The Kid]

I'd prob do the Panigale. Only disadvantage it has is HP, which doesn't matter as it has more than enough for the street. It's the sexiest and I think the lightest of the 3. Easy choice for me though with my back I don't think I will ever do a sportbike

 

[akatsuki]

I just wonder if the RSV4 is the way to go there. Almost as pretty, rarer and small, light enough.

Now that my job search is on I just need to get back to California so I can justify a stable.

what about the agusta f3 800?
