The best thing about a holdover is you should be able to add everything you'd ever want and still be under MSRP when you're done. With the deal i got on my 2012 raven I added Jesse bags, skidplate/crash bars along with a bunch of ergo improvements and electronic things and with the full YES...

Another former competitive cyclist here, Cat2 until I hung it up 5 years ago due to a couple of hard impacts with cars while training. Trail running is about the only way I'll run. Don't like running pavement at all but have a pretty nice river trail system out my back door. As a cyclist...

Color is off as this was shot in the garage but you'll get an idea of the textures. The passenger seat isn't on the bike right now errr yet...

I'd say pneumatic and actually just put my S10 foam and covers on last night. This is the fifth cover I've installed and I wouldn't do it without one. The guns are cheap so if you have an air compressor I wouldn't hesitate to pick one up. I also use a Surebond 9600 which is a cheap but...

Nice! I just picked up a 2012 about a week ago and also thought about the FJR (as a second bike keeping my 950 ADV) but decided against it as it seems like nearly every ride or trip turns into a gravel ride at some point. Enjoy the new ride, I know I am.

I've bought all my Aerostich gear in person as has the wife (RC jacket/AD1 pants). I've been through the whole building tour a coupld of times and it's a pretty cool operation. I'm ok with skipping the latest and greatest and will stick with my Stich as it works for me. I did have a...

I'd say they did a pretty good job of hiding the liquid cooling parts on the new touring bikes but anything would be an improvement if they could eek just a bit more HP out of them stock as they're pretty doggy. Having put a lot of 500-700 mile days on an Ultra Limited I can say that while it...

I think you're spot on with that comment. I really love the way that carb'd 950 went with a sense of urgency, the GO! graphics are just perfect for that bike. I had a 640 ADV before the 950 so I've had two of the stranger oil change bikes I've heard of ;D

New owner in MN here. Just picked up a new 2012 raven and while I've been too busy with work to put many miles on during the first week of ownership I plan on finishing up my break in miles over the Labor Day weekend. I just came off a KTM 950 Adv and in my very limited S10 saddle time am quite...

First post but seem to ride in the rain a lot this year on trips. Longest day was 430 miles and it never stopped raining. Lots of 4+ hour rides in cold rain and 40-50 degrees. Stich Darien and AD1 pants work as they should, I was dry. Do not use the front pockets on the jacket for anything...
