zx3vfr Posted September 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 I know. I'm not in a hurry to sell. If I can sell and pick up liter naked bike this winter great if not I should be able to unload it quicker in the spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tpoppa Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Looking for a triumph america or a Vulcan not would have to have fuel injection and similar miles I'd suggest riding an America before buying/trading. I had a cosmetically custom (mechanically stock) America years ago. While it was nice to look at, it was not much fun to ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it was nice to look at, it was not much fun to ride.So would a Vulcan 1500+ be a better choice? I will not buy a Harley, maybe a victory. Reason I'm looking at a cruiser is because I'm down right reckless on a sport style bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpoppa Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Well if you're looking for something slow and docile maybe it is a good choice. Being reckless isn't limited to sporty bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being reckless isn't limited to sporty bikes.it's more the ability of testing the bike to the limits. I miss my cb550 and just cruising with it. Not that I am reckless as a bad rider I just make bad judgment calls and riding to hard on a sporty bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it was nice to look at, it was not much fun to ride.I actually had nearly the sane thing typed and ready to send but figured..... Meh.. Opinions are like assholes....Definitely try the Triumph before you buy. Significantly underpowered for a cruiser. That engine in the Bonne? Ok. Not going to light any fires, but ok for a standard. Not for a cruiser though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 So somehow going to a ridiculously heavy 1500cc bike with poor braking and poor handling will make for better decisions?Sounds like a rider responsibility/maturity change is needed not a bike change but what do I know. I'm not casting stones, I do dumb shit all the time. Jussayin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidgetTodd Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 read exactly what you wrote. Mainly the part about having to push your bikes to the limit, so stands to reason you will need to test the top speed of the 1500. Comprehend much?

Tpoppa Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 A Ninja 650 isn't exactly a blazing fast sport bike. Lots of people consider it a good bike for beginners. I'm glad you don't have a 600cc or 1000cc supersport if you feel "down right reckless" on the 650. Are you sure 2 wheels are right for you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zx3vfr Posted September 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Oh I know 2 wheels is right for me. I just want to cruise. I feel having a sporty bike I must go hard or go home. Like I said I miss my cb550 because it was nothing more than a plain old motorcycle. 50hp and heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh1234 Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 there's a guy on Cleveland craigslist with a 2013 CBR 500R for trade. Trade for that... it's "slow" enough (compared to other sportbikes, of course) that you'll feel no pressure to try and be faster than anyone. Something that's a year old, liquid cooled, & fuel injected will be exactly what you want.... Fun to hop on & ride around on, won't pressure you to perform, and will be casual while still looking good. Lots of recklessness is curbed when you KNOW you're slower than the other guy. It sounds like you still want a "big" bike, though, if you're looking at cruisers... It'll be VERY hard to trade your 650 for a cruiser, meaning you'd have to sell it and then buy a differente bike... And it'll be pretty hard to sell what you've got for what you're asking. Most people with 5-6 thousand dollars who are motorcycle shopping tend to look at the "marquee" sport bikes. And a Ninja 650 aint it. So you miss the people looking for high-end bikes, and as for people looking for low-end bikes... they're not looking to spend that much money. It puts you in a tough spot. The ways out are to learn better control (of yourself and your impulses, not the bike - and I'm not belittling you because it's a constant struggle for me, too) or take a loss Both are really hard to do.

C-bus Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Nothing wrong with a cruiser. I love mine. Different strokes.....different folks..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zx3vfr Posted September 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 I guess I should say. I have lost the passion for a sporty bike because I only want to go fast. I miss the feeling of my old cb550 and just hopping on and cruising around, not going out of my way to find twisties and being (slightly) bent over and struggling on longer rides. Call it what you want, reckless or just wanting to be seen on a bike. I want a bike to cruise on and u think the America is that bike. Low power and low temptation of putting myself in a situation where injury would be self inflicted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
