What if the bike you want is only available in an ugly color?

I want to buy a 2024 MT-10. But, I hate the teal green wheels...

I thought about buying an MT10sp, but those purple wheels are ugly too! Plus SPs are harder to find and more expensive.

So, what are my options?

Buy a brand new bike and immediately take the wheels off and have them powder coated?

Buy a brand new bike and immediately buy new wheels, and keep the ugly teal ones as backup wheels?

Any other ideas?

What would you do?

I would love to buy a 2019 or 2020. I like those colors! But, then I don't get the TFT display and upgraded electronics... And I get a used bike that may have been mistreated.

I'm torn. What should I do?

Thanks!

Any advice on when to buy a new MT-10? Dealership haggling tips?

I'd like to buy a new MT-10. One dealer near me has a 2024 MT-10 for $12,999 plus tax. Another dealer near me has a brand new 2023 MT-10 on sale for $11,499. I know they'll try to tack on other charges because that's what they do...

So, if I decide to buy one, are there any tips to get a better deal? I know, everybody says buy in the winter time. It's almost winter, but not quite. Do you think the prices will drop more if I keep waiting?

I thought about buying a used 22 or 23 MT-10, but all the folks on Facebook Marketplace are asking for $10k-$12k for a used bike with 5-10k miles on them. That doesn't sound like a deal to me.

I've never bought a brand new bike before, so that seems cool. Break it in myself... Knowing that no one else has tinkered with it or lost any screws... The last 6 bikes I've bought have been used and when I go to do an upgrade, I find loose/missing bolts and stripped screws, and that pisses me off...

So, anything I should know before walking into a motorcycle dealership with cash? Any deals I could get if I finance it and then immediately pay off the loan?

Thanks!

Is this really going to be a thing in 2025?

Ever since I saw this I have not stopped thinking about this bike, I am posting this question here JIC there are any folks that have inside information if this is actually going to be released as a real production motorcycle or not. I sure hope that they do because it looks like it would be WAY to much fun.

Yfz450 clutch cable help

I replaced my clutch cable on my yfz450 with the motion pro cable, but I feel the movement of the clutch is too little and this way it doesn't really engage correctly. I didn't try to drive it afraid to damage the clutch. Does this look correct?

Has anyone got any idea what this sound could be on my 2003 FZS600?

Aside from the engine noise, my bike makes a weird ticking/clicking noise whenever I run it, especially from cold. Does anyone have any idea what this noise could be? Any help is appreciated.

What’s that ticking noise?

To make a long story short, I purchased a new to me head, mine was cracked. Valves and everything was already in the head and came from a running bike so I didn’t bother checking everything just swapped it onto my bike. I set the time wrong two times and got it right the third. First time the bike would not crank and would only fire off with throttle way down, 2nd time it crunk, sounded real throaty with a ticking noise so I cut off and knew it wasn’t right. 3rd time it fired right off sounds good and idles good but there still the ticking noise. In the process of the head swap I did order a new timing chain, guides and tensioner. I decided to replaced all that after the first time because I could not get the marks to line up, chain kept jumping so I assumed it was stretched. I’m assuming this noise is a valve as the chain and everything is brand new. So I guess my question is what are the consequences of riding like this? I still have my old head full of valves that I know are good so I could swap one or two from there if needed.

2025 Tracer 9 vs Tiger Sport 800 services in UK

As Yamaha finally is adding big TFT to all 2025 Tracer 9 models, I thought I would just order one till I noticed new Tiger Sport 800 🔥

Pricing is not announced yet, but what about the service coats on Tracer 9? I spent a lot of time looking for this info online and can't find straight answers, like Yamaha is censoring the answers in Google 😂

I'm aware they are every 6k miles and valves check at 24k. As engine is the same as on old models, how much 6,12,18 and 24k services costs in UK?

I got Tiger 1200 and am aware that Triumph is expensive, but as the new TS800 has service intervals set to 10k and engine seems tk be similar to Trident 660, I would need to do only one small service (probably between £300-£450), and big one (I assume £550-£900 depends of locatio).

Regarding equipment, Tiger has everything I need (and more) and with protectors and accessories would cost me £12.5k, where probably that's between standard Tracer 9 and Tracer 9GT, but some issues like seat and wind protection are fixed on all models so it's quite tempting option too.

Got shafted on an RGX-TT, looking for parts not insanely expensive

I recently bought an RGX-TT. But the adjustment screw for the truss rod was snapped inside the neck. Currently I'm looking for either a new/used neck or another adjustment screw to replace it. Does anyone have any leads?

I need some advice for purchasing my R6?

I'm currently thinking about purchasing an R6 next spring. I'm looking in the range of 2008-2016. My "budget" is $8,000. Should I be able to find a bike within this range? How much money is too much for an R6? This is my first sportsbike purchase so I'm definitely not up to date on this
