Touring on a Desmosedici

[markbvt]

I wonder how many other Desmosedici owners have actually ridden their bikes this much:
5 digits tacho - 10000 km on a Desmosedici RR - ADVrider

if you're gonna drop that much cash on a bike, you might as well log some decent miles on it.


props to the owner

[Hauptman]

That is AWESOME! +10000000 to that guy.

Exactly!

It's a shame to keep a bike like that locked up and not on the road.

[stoinkythepig]

Don't they come with free maintenance because of the complicated valve adjustment procedure too? If ever there were a reason to rack up some miles...

[Dieseldan]

wow impressive but i cant imagine that bike being comfortable to do those kind of miles

[LaRNZ]

prolly has more miles on his desmo then all other owners combined

No worse than any other hypersport bike.

That's badass. Wonder what his tyre bill has been, those hoops are mad loot.

[Dieseldan]

how many sets u think he has gone through?

I rode in France last year when my wife I were there visiting her family. We borrowed her friends SV 650 awesome roads with great scenery.

If you drop that much loot on a bike, I don't think you're too concerned about the price of tires, or gas, or maintenance, or anything else.

Exactly. ...and there's no mention of it breaking down either!

Just Kidding you militant Duc owners you.

[hawk]

That's awesome. I wish I could get a chance to ride one for 100 miles let alone 10000 km's.
It is a shame that all the owners don't experience their bike like this guy is.

[cdovego]

On of my bud's in the hills of Northern CA rides his everyday. It happens...

He also wheelies the crap out of it, bikes are made to be ridden!!!

I love how everytime you say something about how expensive the parts are, or crashing it sucks, or anything with a Desmo someone retorts with this one.

It's still money and it's still expensive as shit. The wheels alone on that bike are 5k EACH. As I recall the tyres are about $1,000-1,500'ish a set. I can afford a $30 hamburger but that doesn't mean I ENJOY dropping the loot everytime I'm hungry, no matter how good the fucking thing is.

Where the hell is a $30 hamburger sold? That's what I want to know...

[Paul_E_D]

In Saucelito?

[lrrs313]

Over a grand for a set of tires?! Damn. Still, I would have to agree -- bikes are made to be ridden, not put on display. I would love to have the honor of burning through a set of tires on a Desmo.

Someone say burn thru a set of Desmo tyres? Here's Roland about .2 seconds after he got done burning right thru a set at the USGP!
