  1. This is the decision I have to make every time I I buy a bike: Do I buy a bike with high level sporting capability and modify it to be comfortable, or Do I buy a more comfortable bike and modify it to have more sporting capability? Bikes like the Ninja1000 & VFR1200 seem to have the best balance out of the box. I personally can't corner as quickly on my VFR as on the CBR, but it's pretty close. Helibars and drop pegs make a difference on a super sport. But a SS is never going to have the same wind protection or stability as an ST, which make long rides less fatiguing. Comfort vs Sport...I've been trying to decide for 20 years
  2. The CB500s can also be had on the cheap.
  3. Why Paul? Is that vintage of Ape unreliable?

    Honda grom

    I've seen plenty of used ones for sale with only a couple hundred miles on them. Seems like the novelty wears off pretty fast. I'd get a 250 scooter over a Grom.
  5. Written, illustrated, and published by Todd??
  6. There was a guy on the Dragon on a Victory Vision that would slow down and drink a sip of coffee before turns. Rolled right by the turnoffs, never waived us by. That was fun We passed him but it took a few turns to get by.
  7. It's more sport than tourer. The best descriptions I've heard are "Road Sport" & "Gentleman's Sportbike." Of course I'm hardly a gentleman.
  8. Thanks. Most people think it's ugly until they see it in person. I bought it on a whim. I like it waaaaay better than I thought I would.
  9. Man do I need to take you to the good part of WV. We may do another 3 day ride in September.
  10. I remember helping carry it up said cliff.
  11. So if anyone on the radio claims "shots fired" whether it's accurate or not...the police are free to kill who ever they wish because they "fear for their lives." Bullshit. Our courts and judges are impotent when it comes to prosecuting officers.
  12. You should ride a VFR1200, you might be surprised.
  13. I don't think that's possible
