I installed Michelin Road 5 tires on 2 of our bikes and was astounded how much better the bike handled in the rain and on dry pavement. Doesn't track on tar snakes either. But in wet weather, wow. Just wow.
I am good now for a long time, just had a new set of Pirelli"s MT-66. I have run these before and liked them a lot but tried Metzeler this last time, also a good tire but like Pirelli better. At 50,000 miles I also got new cam bearings and cam chain tensioners so should be good for the rest of my life.
The engine has never been apart so still had the original non-adjustable pushrods. Standard procedure is to cut them to take them out instead of pulling the heads off. Now have adjustable pushrods and the kit included new lifters and pushrod tubes. Jim.

The muffler part was relatively easy, just had to wiggle it around a bit to line up where it mounts. The biggest PITA was putting the exhaust gaskets and pipe sleeves in, then having to try to hold them in with one hand while trying to fit the flanges in place and not pushing the springs out. There's not much room under there.
I think I want one of these?
A 200 pound electric motorcycle that goes 80mph with a (claimed) range of 80 miles (probably more likely 50 in real world use) seems like it could be a lot of fun for short runs, as a short range commuter bike. Premium components like Michelin Road 5 tires, wireless phone charger and a removable battery. But the price is a bit steep at $5000 for a short range bike, at that price I could get a Honda CB300 and still have change rattling around in my pocket. Still, it seems like it would be a heck of a lot of fun, maybe more fun if they put an offroad suspension on it and some tires suitable for dirt & street.

I think it was designed by someone who used to ride hardtails?
I cannot speak for the video story, looks like he did not notice before he got in the loose sand. I have gotten into trouble several times on dresser bikes. I have ridden cafe racers and Sport bikes since the early 70's. I earned my first Iron Butt on a bike with rear sets and drag bars. My last 3 bikes were Kawasaki Concours Sport touring models. I traditionally have pretty narrow "chicken Strips" on the tire sidewalls, because a sport bike is designed to lay over. A few times I had forgotten how much to adjust when riding a heavy dressed touring bike. Punching into a corner at my usual speed, only to find myself grinding the low metal hard. As soon as you lever the back wheel off the traction, you are toast. I never wadded up a borrowed bike but had a couple close calls.
