  1. Hello
    First joined the forum back in 2016 when I first bought a 900ss because it was cheap..
    Hipster offered me a profit and I sold it only only riding a couple of times .
    Recently I had a full mental shutdown and bought a 1199 tricolore, a 1299s and a 2018 v4 within 6 months of each other because they were bargains :bucktooth:
    Hopefully learn some stuff on here

  3. Welcome and what a combo! What’s the best part about riding each one in your opinion and which one is the favourite?
     
  4. Thankyou
    1199 is pretty and raw , feels light but any traffic or sub 50 is pure misery
    V4 is my baby , I’ve totally clicked with it . Wider seat means I have more control and don’t slide forward and crush my gentleman sausage Only downside for me is exhaust noise.
    I only bought 1299 Friday . Looks beautiful and feels road friendly. Downside was trusting who I bought it from so it pulls like a train to 6000rpm then nothing so who knows what’s wrong . Messed up I think

    all three cook you though!

  7. Do you have pictures of them all? Would love to see.

    Shame about the 1299, hopefully you can get to the bottom of what is going on with that.

    As for being cooked, that’s what they do! I’m sure you have seen elsewhere but I recently put one of these kits on mine to help. Has it got rid of the heat? No. Has it made it a little more bearable, yes. Worth a look. They do them for all three of yours as well by the look of it.
