I remember seeing this bike for sale on ADV, I'm curious why the quick sale?

Riding season is just starting for many, so it may take some time. Looking at previous comps could also be helpful.

Same Oxford product, just a different name for the European market. Enjoy your toasty palms!

I would if I needed them or had a bike they'd fit ;) It was just a suggestion why they might not be moving.

If they haven't been sitting in storage for years, posting their date codes might help.

Nice bike, is it in Pennsylvania?

Sounds like a great setup. What'd you use for luggage in Baja?

Is the Seat Concepts included? Anything done to the fork to match the shock? Are the currently installed tires still good?

Check the thread date, there was no crossing during COVID.

I only got overexcited since it wasn't the middle of nowhere and was my final mile. I was meeting a friend (in a car) at a nearby winery in Ensenada, so he was able to meet me and carry my backpack and severed tail light. I also had a couple oenophiles hear the crash and come running over saying...

Those look like great solutions and I'm glad they are on the market for those in need. I just don't see myself hauling around more stuff because of an overweight bike. Maybe if I was going across Mongolia, otherwise I'll chance it and hope for the best!

Yay for Miatas! Mine is almost as fun as 2 wheels but I've never toured with it. GLWS! Looks like a nice bike, just too far and pricey for me.

That's good to hear, is that with an all stock powertrain?

Yamaha doesn't specify the octane rating when they make their recommendation to owners? I figured each country's manual would be adjusted for the local measurement method. The manual I found online says: Recommended fuel: Premium unleaded gasoline only Your Yamaha engine has been designed to...

Agreed, I run the lowest octane all my vehicles will tolerate and don't join the "higher is better" crowd. Are you on a stock or aftermarket tune? I've heard plenty run 87 on the stock tune but my comment was regarding an aftermarket tune (2 Wheel DynoWorks) that has "optimized timing maps for...

Thanks everybody for the welcome! I'll post an update when I decide on a bike.
