New guy in SoCal, OC.

[KOCONUT]

Hey guys,

Just got my Super T. Slightly used 2013 model, just over 4k miles on her. My first bike was an old Yamaha XS750 triple that I turned into a cafe racer, had multiple Honda VFR's, Aprilia Tuonos and a supermoto since then but now I feel like I'm coming around back to Yamaha. Love the bike and my wife loves the back seat, most comfortable and versatile moto I've ever had. I'll try to attach a pic of the new Super T with my old 93 VFR. Now I just need to look into getting some luggage on this thing.

Welcome from a little further north in SoCal! I too had an XS750 with a café faring and low bars. It was my fourth bike though.

::004:: from Scotland. Many moons before my S10, I had an XS850. Great memories of that bike.

 

[KOCONUT]

yes I loved that bike, it taught me a lot about motorcycles and how to fix them...I must have pulled the carbs 20 times in the time I owned it trying to get it right. It also helped me develop my skills on the street, up until then I had only ridden dirt and ATV's. Wish I could get that pic up, its too large.

 

[KOCONUT]

Hope this works...

Cool, let's go ride. "Rockhopper", another member here on the site, and I go on off road trips every so often. You should tag along if you don't mind getting dirty!

For sure! let me know next time you guys go out and I'll see if I can make it. I'd like to start off slow, especially since I've got no crash protection right now.

::004:: from Lewiston Idaho ,I to have a 13 s10 and just outfitted it with happy trails panniers , they are solid and look fantastic and they are substantially less expensive then the other I have looked at , I am a blue collar so I dont have $ to throw at luggage ,these will work great , good luck..

 

[KOCONUT]

I was lucky enough to score a set of very lightly used Givi pannier racks from a member on the forum. I added those to the monokey top box. For now I'm going to try and get the luggage situation handled then I'll go ahead and get the skidplate and then the crash bars. By the time I get around to that, I should prob need some new tires too, so I'll have to decide which ones to go with when that time comes.
