1100 Sport | Scrambler Ducati Could use a little more power, but more comfy for a two up.

Well I was wondering when Harley would introduce the 975.
Two years ago they first teased with the Streetfighter 975 ads, now it's called the Bronx.
If the name Streetfighter is pretentious, Bronx is underwhelming.
But I gotta admit spec wise, it doesn't look half bad for a Harley.
I wonder if the 975/1131 motors are manufactured in India?
I much prefer the 1131cc 145HP Streetfighter, but hell, 115HP from a 975 is not too shabby either.
Might be worth a test ride this spring.
 
I wouldnt be running out to be the first for any of them. That said, the Triumph looks about the sweetest. but our local guys are giving up on them.
The local guy is heavy on beemer and Duc, so the Duc would make sense if it cuts the mustard.
The Harley, although aesthetically my least favorite, makes the most sense. Can't piss in this town without hitting one of the three local Harley dealerships. And they all are more than adequate with service compared to the Duc man. Also, being a lifelong New Yorker, I can live with Bronx.
 
Just back from a blast out on my CCM 600, roads mainly dry, except were field run off on the way to the Moors. More confident with the smaller bike for winter fun, back end a bit Skitty and the front a little twitchy but gets rid of the cobwebs and sunny skies so what's not to like? Better half even had a pan of stew on when I got back so nicely warmed through again now, life's good!

I like the look of the CCM also , the flat track Foggy . Do you think this bike will last long term with high mileage ?

The engine is the Husqvarna 610 tweaked by BMW and built by SWM in Italy. Only just past the 2K mark after 2 years so can't vouch for it yet but it should be bullet proof? It is a torqy motor though but likes to be rev'd, don't think I'd like to do a lot of miles ie touring. As a backroad blaster it's a hoot, brings out the hooligan in you!

Anyone fancy a 250cc two stroke? Langen in the UK.

I did until I saw the price! An ex CCM designer I think, similarities to the Spitfire?

Have you seen the price of second hand two strokes? The company who make the engine are supposed to be bringing out a sports bike.

YouTube reiviews are liking it, however, giving it the old " bargain for a beginner" type review. I can only go by photos. Frankly, I've ridden many bikes including the highest end of performance, but at 60 and actually only owning 2 T140 and the Norton, I'd probably enjoy it. All I want is something that goes well, handles well and doesn't break down every 100 miles or so.

I prefer the Ducati Monster over the Trident. But that was until I seen the new 2021 Monster and Monster + without the trellis frame. Now everything is beginning to look like ever Asian bike out there.
As ugly as it is, I still like the KTM super duke 1290R and the also the Ducati Streetfighter. All different bikes I know, but they are all above my riding skill levels.
