Yes, it does. Even more so when riding.

It can definitely pull past 70mph but has considerably less passing power than your Honda (I had an XR600). It's does OK on the freeways and would top out around 85-90 with street gearing. With the dirt sprockets, it'll still do it but only up to about 78 or so comfortably. But offroad they will be a night and day difference. The 350SE feels like a dirtbike while the 650L really shows its weight. Good luck! 👍

@@SanDiegoRider Thank you for getting back to me, I very much appropriate your input. In fact, I just had it out for a 110mi ride-about 40 off road, and yes, even though I've had it 15yrs, at nockin on 60, I'm feelin every pound..btw, what is your dirt gearing? I'm running 14/48 and find it ideal for the XRL..

@@AzPauly Glad I could help 🙂 For my DR I decided on 13/44, which is the same ratio as the dirt models 14/47 setup. But my combo allows me to easily switch from street to dirt gearing with just a countersprocket swap (easy). A 14t puts me very close to stock SE gearing. And a 15t is taller for easy freeway distance riding, if needed. The transmission in the DR is wide ratio, which helps.

Cool, Im glad you found this useful.👍Yea, for Harleys that can corner, Id guess this is the one to go for. Ive ridden these LRs a few times now and they do very well in the corners for a cruiser. I suspect some tallers shocks and fork extensions would make these hilarious fun in the twisties. The 'lifted' version would be surprisingly capable Id wager

Fat Bob ?

​@@charliebaker3389 I haven't ridden the Fat Bob yet. But I don't think it i would be on par with the LR on a road like this. Maybe I am mistaken and need to ride one?

@@SanDiegoRider 114 vs 117 LR probably better but a few dollars more. No harm in trying the FB.

@@charliebaker3389 Right, and Google says they are about the same weight. I'm no Harley guy, but it looks like the Fat Bob also has a more laid back, FWD controls ergonomic design (looking at pics anyways..). So the LR would allow a bit more weighting of the pegs and a more natural feeling lean into corners, IMO. And for these type roads, Im guessing that would make a noticeable difference.

Hope to see you out on the next one! 😃

Looking forward to it!!

😁

Hey, glad you like it. Wheels are 17x3.5 and 17x4.25. Tires are 120/70f and 160/60r. 👍

¡Me alegro de que te guste! Tengo otros videos de esta bicicleta, si aún no los has visto. La moto está ahora en modo tierra, por lo que no circulará por la calle por un tiempo. (Espero que esto se traduzca bien😅)

KTMs 'sport' settings, with max front preload.

I'm pretty happy with it. It's deeper than the video sounds too.

Oh I'm still learning too. The more I learn, the less I know for sure. Im forever a student. If you want to check out a track event, let me know 👍

Only the best of cheap, overseas exhaust for this bike! 😆

Thanks! This 2nd time felt much easier after taking some time to get familiar before hand. I was completely lost at chuckwalla 😆 👍

Very similar in the riders approach, yes. The more upright and free'er rolling we can be through the slip hazards, the better. 👍

Thanks George. Stay safe out there! ✌️

Yessir, looking out ahead and adjusting our path saves us from dealing with most of it. And NO brakes while riding through it. Sounds like some real-world experience coming from across the pond! Stay safe 🙂

@@SanDiegoRider it’s the horse poo which is the worst 😂😂😂😂

😆

I'm glad you avoided going for a slide. That's one of the worst. Wet mud is so unforgiving for us. Thanks for your feedback 👍

RSV4

Love that sound ❤

@@amococ2487 Me too. It's probably my favorite sounding moto engine. It's right up there on my best to ride list too. Great bikes imo

This is stock 98-99 SE suspension thats been resprung for my weight.

Sure. Check my full length videos for longer exhaust therapy. Hang in there! 👊

I mean, I can't blame them.. but these roads and all the offroad. Would be hard to leave all this, even at these prices.

There he is! OK first off..Personally, I think much of your technique was pretty good and your positioning was enough for your pace. As you pick up speed you can simply bend more at the waste to compensate. But if you wanna GP hang-off that bish, party on! 😁 It looks cool imo. So the habit that really stood out to me was your line choice through corners. You tend to immediately dive to the inside of corner entries and hold the extreme inside line. This makes the corners sharper, which requires more lean angle/weight shift. This also makes you shed more speed on entries to make this sharper turn. And It limits your options when you need to avoid something or shift midcorner. You can only run wider or into oncoming traffic. When you instead enter turns on the outside half of the lane and wait for the apexes, this improves everything listed above a lot. Youll naturally carry more speed, confidently, and with more midturn options (safer!). You'll also come out of corners straighter off the apexes, which will allow earlier and harder acceleration. It all adds up to a significant advantage when done right. This is a problem I still struggle with too, btw. It takes time. But when you do it right.. you can tell and it feels good! Faster yet clearly more controlled. Oh and maybe bring the toes in/up a bit before you tip in. I only saw you get too low a few times, but once could be enough. -A nod goes to @christopherboston1467 for catching that I'll be posting a test ride of your Harley here shortly byw. It was a fun change of pace for me, thanks again. 👍

Good eye. Yes, I'd say he had his toe lower than the peg a few times too. And the outwards toe point isn't helping the touch down risk. But that's not the thing I noticed most. I'll explain on his comment.

I’m pretty sure this is just a cruise. And you don’t need to look like Marquez to go at a fast street pace.

This comment is embarrassing. You can do better!

He do it cause its to dangerous for street riding. Your dynamic is getting really worse, when you consider to change direction. He told that in one in his videos and even people who do trackracing only use it, if you see beyond the corner without obstacles. Im dude, but you are the noob!

That and a V4S 😁

Thanks 🙂 It definitely made the bike more enjoyable.

Aprilia 💪 😁

I've heard that a few times.

While Ive never been to Angeles Crest, judging from the videos Id say Palomar South Gr is slower, much tighter and more technical. It does have decreasing radius turns too, youre right. Angeles Crest seems to have mostly fast sweepers and chicanes, from what I recall. Thanks! 😁

Thanks Curtis. It was a nice day all around for sure.

@@SanDiegoRider Also: hauling butt. ;-)

My lines is something Im working on for sure. Im still working on LOTS of things. 😅 Thanks!

Oh hey! Nice meeting you guys. Im sure we'll see ya again 🙂

Thank you sir, from across the pond! 👍
