Re: Pics of my bike for Alan
Looks nice David, and I expect that's a fairly safe way to do a wheelie.

Re: Pics of my bike for Alan
Never a V-Max fan.
Waaaaay too heavy. Pretty quick in a straight line though. |

Re: Pics of my bike for Alan
Only thing good I can say for it is that at least the scoop is functional this time. Otherwise its a 1/8 ton overweight. I wasn't too crazy about the styling of it when I saw it at the local dealer either. Thought the older one looked better (though still not a beauty queen). I'll stick with my CB175 for daily jaunts and my winter CB650sc for my ski commutes at least until prices drop for the Kawasaki Verysis or Honda realizes that their US line up is simply sad.

They kept the muscle bike design which is good. It was always overweight, in fact, I noticed David's bike does not have the solid disk wheels. In this style of bike though the current Suzuki B-king has got to be king of the heap. All that power, and it still handles. I'm looking very hard at a Kawasaki Versys myself. The Blackbird is great for long distance touring, but the Versys has a brilliant mix of light weight, good handling and easy maneuverability in traffic. An exceptionally good bike.

Re: Pics of my bike for Alan
I only wish it had an aircooled inline 4. I value power but also like something that I can easily work on without removing every bracket to get at something. Besides, I need the price to drop before I buy.

Re: Pics of my bike for Alan
It's the angle. The bluing wore off and it's actually gold in most pics.
I'll get you some pics of my buddies flat black KZ1000. That bike is sick! Old school muscle bike! |
