What's your KTM Duke 690 low-speed fueling fix?

Regular valve adjustments keep the fueling in check, I found. Amazing how much it can drift over time.

For on and off road use, you definitely need adjustable suspension. Yamaha, please, give us a proper windscreen for highway comfort!

I would like to see some real adventure bike features, like wire spoke wheels, crash bars, and a skid plate. Make it able to handle some real off road action.

It would be amazing with cruise control and TFT display for longer trips. And of course, heated grips for those cold morning commutes too!

What about a hybrid power train? City use electric, longer trips and more power when needed gas engine.

I would love to see a variant with a manual transmission though. I know it's not the standard for scooters, but it would be so much more fun to ride.

It gets the tech from Yamaha's sport bikes - traction control, riding modes, perhaps even wheelie control for those adventurous types.

Let’s forget off road pretensions and make it a high performance urban scooter. Tune that 300cc engine for maximum smiles per gallon in the city, lower it, add sticky tires.

How about modular bodywork? You could switch between sleek urban panels and more rugged adventure style bodywork depending on your plan for the day.

I'd like serious luggage capacity. It’s got to give it panniers and a top box that you can take off for city use but has enough room for real touring.

Keep it simple! We’ll just take the classic BW’s styling, with more power and better brakes. We don’t need to overcomplicate everything with tech.
What is the most ridiculous mod you've seen on a Yamaha BW's 125?

I saw a BW's 125 with monster truck style tires once. It was ridiculous, but also kind of awesome. I have no idea how it actually rode though!

A guy in my city took his BWs and turned it into a mini food truck. He put a small grill in the back, and now sells hot dogs from it. Crazy but creative!

I have seen one that is fully wrapped Louis Vuitton. Talk about a fancy scooter! I don’t know if it was real LV or fake, but it was definitely a head turner.

The wildest mod I ever saw was a BW with a side car made out of an old bathtub. And not just for show, it was fully functional.

There was someone in my scooter group that put a huge spoiler on their BW's like you'd see on a tuner car. Useless as hell, but hilarious.

I once had a BW that was converted to electric power. Super silent and actually pretty cool, but definitely not what Yamaha intended!

I saw a BW's with a custom stretched frame, and that was the craziest mod I've seen. It looked more like a mini chopper scooter hybrid. Impractical as hell, but it’s definitely unique.
Can Royal Enfield take a bite out of a new, younger market with the Flying Flea C6?
09 January 2025 10:23
RE is smart to make this move, I think. They need to attract younger riders to remain relevant, and the retro market is increasingly becoming saturated. A Flying Flea C6 could be really appealing to millennials and Gen Z who want something different, and a blend of heritage and futuristic design.

I worry that it will alienate their core fanbase, but maybe it will attract some new riders. Classic appeal has always been RE’s strength. They could try to be too modern and please nobody. The electric motorcycle market is not new and has already established players.
