Nothing but Salt in my area of Ohio. Bikes won't leave the stable for months.!! Seems like forever. Sounds like the dogs are enjoying the longer light days also. Hope the young lad has good ear plugs. Lol. Down the road he will wish he had. 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋♂️
Yep. Too loud for my taste, but as you said, “you do you.” It does sound good though. A distinct purr. Spring isn’t far away now. Already seeing some buds and blooms down here. Happy Fri-yay Eve! Peace and love.
Thanks for the info on the connected ride cradle. I'm looking to get on the waiting list for one, if there is a list. I'll be calling the parts counter tomorrow.
Got one of the bmw connect cradles on order hope it works better than the old system. The dealer I'm working with has them on back order and are coming through slowly.!!!
That 900 sounded like it was in business to do business. I hope he's a good kid cause he will not make a quiet getaway. Lol Freezing there and below freezing here. Stay safe and stay warm🥶
Funny how the loud exhaust was cool in your 20's and 30's but not when you're older. I'm the same way. My current bike is 100% stock and just loud enough.
I love the 850 motor. I have it in my F850GSA and thought a F900 would be a good addition. For my 6''2" frame the riding was just too cramped. Disappointed but I rectified the situation by adding an Indian Challenger instead. All good! 😃
there's the wind blast too. I test rode a PA and found I got too much wind and too tight seat to peg. Since I have a older RT, I went with a different Challenger. :) Anyway, the 850 engine sounds nice.
hi Shawn kelli.thanks for the ride, that is nice sport bike,nice out there to.always good see you riding a bike I'm a dirt bike rider myself ha,but I've riden street to still lookin for a kaw 440 ltd,ha, later Shawn Kelly have a good one.ride on
I have a Remus Hexacone on my RT and with the baffle out it sounds like there's something there, but it doesn't sound like the 850, which sounds better. A friend had akro pipes on his K1600 and that sounded awesome. The boxer, at least mine reminds me of a Cessna engine. Nothing wrong with it, it has it's own character, but it isn't either one of those either. I heard a MG 1400 with a pipe a few weeks ago. That sounded interesting. Ducati's do too.
Hello Shawn. I especially enjoy your videos when you talk about the technical aspects of the BMW bikes (BMW only). I do not expect you to do full BMW product reviews, but it would be nice if you would talk more about the BMW bikes as you ride them and work on them at home and in your shop at work. I was especially interested when you were talking about the BMW phone cradle in this video. Thank you for the few minutes of entertainment today.
Hoping you guys stayed home today (Thursday). Absolute mess in the Couve! Compact snow and ice, crashes everywhere, never made it over 30 in the cage which was appropriate. Spyder a hard no go. Crazy thing is this will all be gone by quittin' time. Stay safe and warm!
We have a much better view today. Thanks😀 I'm sure many of us would like to know, 'did BMW customer get upset that you cleaned windshield'? 🤔 Have a great day. Stay Safe

I like the sound of that Arrow exhaust, I’d leave the baffle in though. Great video!

Sounds good with the Arrow after market exhaust on it. Sounds and looks like it has good power.

I'm really old , but I liked the sound of the exhaust on the 900R.
Those arrow exhausts are always noisy. Cool looking bike though.
That was excellent Shawn great stuff. 🍻💯👋👍

Too much bike for someone just starting out? What bikes do you recommend for new riders?
Whats the rear fender eliminator kit you have ?
Sounds awesome 😎

Hi Shawn, can you provide the part number on the phone cradle? Thank you

Liked it show top 😎😍😁🤗👍🇧🇷
So if it’s too loud or extra mods don’t bring it in lol 😂
Your dogs are crying for you!
Too hard to listen to.
