I rode both a 600 and a 900 at MSF class and both made that sound.

Just took my MSF class and looking to get a Ryker at 83. Life is good.

Isn't 1100 rpm a little low for idle? I think the ones I used at MSF ran higher.

I rode a 600 and a 900 for my MSF class and they both made the same sound. But it will not hurt to ask about it at your "first inspection".

I am in the mountains of NC and took the MSF class at Caldwell CC, which was very good. We used Ryker's so I am familiar with them and the only concern is how they will do at highway speeds since I live away from everything and every ride will be at least 20 miles. That is not all bad and I look for...

This is interesting as I am also in NC and looking at getting a Ryker after finishing my MSF class. Keep us dated on your progress.

I am new and looking to get my first trike after I attend a MSF class. I do not do facebook so here is where I will look for input.

I have used those chemical hand warmers for the occasional cold day trip. They did ok but would not want to go for a long distance ride with them.
