There's a 95 Daytona forsale on Lanc Craigslist for a very reasonable $1500. If the wife didn't just fork over way too much for a plasma tv it would have already been in the garage.
The Shiver was heavier then I thought it would be. See the new 850 Mana? Has a full auto CVT or paddle shift. Not for real bikers, but an awesome way to get women and other non-riders into the mix.

Never a V-Max fan.

Waaaaay too heavy. Pretty quick in a straight line though.

Aaaahh yesss. Now that I look closely, that is obvious.

What do you think of the new V-max?

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.

Well as a long time VFR owner I like V4s, so I likes it!

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.

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.

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!
