Ya they just become inaccessible. The app recognizes they are there, but the user cannot get to them. Happened to me twice while trying to make motorcycle posts

I was just going to say something similar to this. The job application is an assessment for your technical abilities/skills for the job.

The interview is a second assessment to gauge your personality and communication to make sure it's a fit for the team.

There are VERY few jobs where you can work in isolation. Teamwork, personality and communication are important for almost all jobs. Hench the assessment that gauges those aspects.

This is so cool.

I know. I'm just too spoiled with my current saddlebags setup, difficult to go back.

I just went through your post history and imo, I think your content driven posts are fine. Some have a lot of up votes and some have good engagement as well.

Where it seems you get issues, is with other users in your 1:1 interactions. Direct Don questions-as-posts and comments give off an energy of excitement, which is not bad in and of itself, but then your follow ups people feel you're not taking their feedback, or you want other people to do things for you when they have no stake in the request or question.

I think if you created two accounts, one purely content, and the other direct Don questions-as-posts and comments, your pure content account would be completely fine on this platform.

That's some good feedback. First time riders doing wheelies off the bat. Sounds like a proper starter bike to me!

Personally, I'm not a new ride and storage is a pretty big piece of for me. I need to transport a full gym duffle bag, and my lunch bag during the work weeks.

Thanks for the input!

The 2024 Suzuki SV650 is another upright naked motorcycle in the same engine class as the other posts.

  • Engine: 645cc, 4-stroke, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 90˚, V-twin
  • Torque: 44.9 lb-ft @ 8100 rpm
  • Power: 69.3 hp at 8,530 rpm

The MSRP on this one is ~$8,000, and the general consensus is that it's a great starter bike.

Although it's not a part of the retro series, it's engine is in a similar displacement class as the other two.

Quick facts

  • Engine: 649cc liquid cooled in-line four cylinder
  • Torque: 42.14 lb.-ft. @ 8,160 rpm
  • Power: 80.55 hp @ 11,000 rpm
  • Weight: ~445.3lbs

Those pipes, such a clean design. Still in the upright/naked competition for my next bike. For 2024 I guess they're coming with an e-clutch. With this you still have to shift with your for, but you don't have to pull the clutch.

The riding position looks a little too aggressive, but I still want to sit on one to see how it feels. It does come with a price tag of ~$9,400 MSRP which is on the priceier side of this class.

Anyone have one of these with the e-clutch?

2024 Kawasaki Z650RS

  • Engine: 649cc, 4-stroke, 2-cylinder, DOHC
  • Power: 67hp @ 8,000 rpm
  • Torque: 48.5 lb-ft @ 6,500 rpm
  • Weight: ~412lbs

Does anyone have one? This one is in my top as a contender for my next bike. It's a little pricier with a smaller engine than the XSR700 so not sure which way to choose.

I've been wanting to see more content in this community so I've decided to "be the change"

So instead of ~~praying~~ posting my bike over and over, I'll try to post a featured motorcycle with some quick stats. First up:
