Cruise control?

Hey friends I have been looking at used z900rs bikes for weeks waiting for the right deal. Then I realized the new 2026 model has cruise control.

My q is, anyone really itching for cruise control on this machine? I swore I'd never buy another bike without, but this doesn't seem like a long range touring bike

I added electronic cruise to my 2012 Multistrada, it was expensive but worth it, it was a touring bike.

But now I'm getting FOMO and I hate buying new.

Considering high mileage Buell what to worry about?

I’ve owned many bikes including a Soortster Soort from the 90s that I shoulda kept

Looking at 99 m2 cyclone that seems clean with 50k miles

I kinda expect to replace fork seals, tires, any gaskets. Bearings probably. Anything else to look for? Are they hard to work on? I’d expect no given they’re simple engines. Estimated cost of parts, and labor if I hire it out.

I test rode one back when they were new and it was a lot of fun but I never pulled the trigger.

Bent wheel, need replacement

As luck would have it I ran over a brick changing lanes in my 2024 type S. No way to avoid it. Damn Phoenix is full of uncovered load drivers.

There’s a definite vibration at mid speeds. I figure to replace it, is there a good source besides the dealer or something else I should try? Never had to replace a wheel before.
