LOL, no. Read more

Yeah, they’re a small company. Sign up for the catalog, it does a better job. Read more

Buy a cheaper bike. Read more

The Roadcrafter with the described custom stuff basically is that. But there’s still no beating a quality leather onesie for real sport riding or protection in offs above 100mph. Read more

You can buy them in standard sizes, but I’d recommend everyone go made-to-measure. Read more

Not a fan of their gloves. I am a huge fan of http://www.racerglovesusa.com/, the models with integrated palm sliders are probably the best things you can have on your hands in a crash. Read more

Most of that is how the two helmets fit you. The Corsa should have drastically superior vertical view, but it fits you wrong sounds like. Read more

Surely there are. But it’s an important piece of safety gear that you wear on your head, not something you want to be keeping around for longer than 5 years of bumps and drops and sweat and bugs anyways. Read more

Visibility is similar across full-face helmets. It’s minimally mandated at 105 degrees to each side and we humans can only use 90 degrees of that. Read more

You need to buy a new helmet every 5 years. The glue they use to bond the layers of styrofoam breaks down over time. Read more

Snell M2010 and Snell M2015 are the same thing, just labeled differently. Read more

I’ve done it. Was going maybe 20mph and had a small lowside. Totalled bike. Read more

The 990 and 950 have the same tank style. Read more

Both need a ton of fixes. But can, after $1.5-5k in spend, actually be capable dual-sports. The DR is lighter, the KLR has a fairing. Read more

Nope. That’s about as fundamentally flawed as it gets. Read more

The 950/990’s saddle-style tanks already put weight in the ideal place. That ideal place is not rearwards, under the seat, as per the 800GS. Read more

1050 is a budget 1190 and the 1290 is totally street-oriented. This is a comparison of ADVs that’ll go off-road. Read more

Rubbish bike. The 1200GS will actually do the stuff you see it doing in adverts. Read more

Ridden much else? There’s much better options at lower prices. Street triple, for instance. Read more
