Shytot Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Hi All, just got my TDM 900 , a week ago. Such a suprise. I went into my Honda dealers with my Dullville, and it caught my eye. A thirty minute test ride later and , it came home with me. Its silver , with a Givi higher screen, and a givi rack and top box. Its sooooo, comfy, and a pleasure to ride. What I cant get over is , how good it is on fuel?????? I am an LGV/PCV Driving Instructor.My passion is Field Archery, and Motorcycles, (but not at the same time). My partner (female) rides a BMW f650. We live in Warrington Cheshire. We are both over 40. Always up for a ride out somewhere. May I ask, what is the expected life of a well looked after /serviced TDM ??
Leatherat Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Hello, Congratulations on the TDM 900, is a great bike. As for life expectency......most people have found that they start giving quite serious, expensive trouble around 8 yrs old, and I see that yous is a 2003 model, so that means....errr 1,2,3.....4,5......6,7.......ahhh, ermmmm, got to go now. Welcome along, hope you have some fun here.
Moderator DirtyDT Posted May 5, 2011 Moderator Posted May 5, 2011 Hi and welcome. I had to laugh that you felt you had to explain that your partner was female but didn't say what your gender was I do like TDM's but a bit big for me, I feel.
Shytot Posted May 5, 2011 Author Posted May 5, 2011 Hi there sorry , Im a male, well the last time I looked I was. Eight years old and the start having expensive problems. Well,I supposed I asked. What sort of mileage before things start to go "chest up"? I love the way it looks though, I could just sit and watch it , it sort of 'sugly' thats a cross between "sexy and ugly". A few folk have said the engines are "bulletproof", if maintained properly, are they wrong?
