    Hypersport quality Racetec tires running with tubes? I guess so, unless those wire wheels are sealed (which the current Thruxton's are not, even the 'R'). I could care less about tank seams - tubed tires in a bike never meant for off-road use is ridiculous. Unless I am wrong and those wheels are sealed, the Speed Twin looks to be the better bike.

      If wire spokes are so darn necessary for image, why are the manufacturers not sourcing tubeless spoked wheels? Unsprung weight is a desirable goal for any motorcycle's handling and losing a tube is a heck of a lot more cost-effective than carbon fiber wheels.

    Looks like my offspring will be parking one of these in my garage. Deposit down, allotment reserved. Yeehaw! I rode his Beemer to work today to get him used to the idea of the old man riding his bikes, just to keep the seals fresh and the battery charged. 35 degrees. Heated seat—check. Heated grips—check. Adjustable windscreen, highest position, check. Sirius XM—didn’t listen to Classic Vinyl, I promise. Cruise control—check. Self-cancelling turn signals—dude! WTF. No self-cancelling turn signals! Turns out my left thumb still works, so no sweat. He has cool bikes. I house them, I get to ride them. Such a deal!
