TTQ B4U Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 What are your thoughts? Like/dislike? Cool/not cool? I've been seeing more and more advertising of them this spring that years past. Perhaps it's because I'm in the market for a new toy and miss my bike that I sold 8 years ago this month http://www.pbase.com/timothylauro/image/134018154 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 I've heard that they are inherently unstable and because of that have an overly aggressive ESC system so they won't flip over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaSSon Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 I don't care for them. You ride ON them, vs AROUND it, which is hot I feel about my bike. I didn't feel connected to the one I rode. They don't lean either, so everytime you turn it tries to flip you off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kawboy1647545515 Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 My wife works at a dealership where they sell them and they fly off the showroom floor. People are trading in their cruisers, especially Harleys, for these like crazy. This dealer had a demo for a long time and may still have it; getting that demo ride is the way to go since this is a little bit of a funky ride. I personally didn't like it because I'm riding sport bikes. It doesn't handle good enough or go fast enough for me but it is comfortable and has a ton of luggage room. Gas Mileage is also pretty bad (for a bike) on these. From what I've heard from the mechanics, they seem very reliable but you may want to check out the tire wear and replacement costs. For comparison, a liter bike will eat a set of tires every 5000 miles or less and replacements cost $300 and up for a pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 A lot of people don't care for them but I liked the one I rode, had a nice feel and works if your too lazy to do all that leaning and fucking around shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Dislike/Not Cool. I'm sure it would still be fun to ride on them, in the same way it's fun to ride on a Vespa. I did hear that you can now get your M endorsement test on these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornbreadxd Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Not a fan, it felt like something out of star wars when I got on one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTHER91 Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 If you get a chance to actually test ride one more that around the block and see what it can really do. Everyone in here would change their mind about them, if you can ride a quad fast and loose you can have lots of fun and be very comfortable on these. Just make a educated buy not cuz of the opinions of the small test group here which none of the seem like the really tested the bikes abilities.. Until I posted this then they all went 1000mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponyjr1647545514 Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 all the customers i talk to that have them love them. I'd own one if i found one in my price range, which most likely wont happen. they handle well once you get used to them and they have plenty of power with that rotax motor. I don't care for the touring version, but the roadster one is pretty sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsey Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 I think they are cool, without ever owning a bike or riden one of these i think it could be a sweet cruiser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornbreadxd Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 can you really thrash these around like you can a 4 wheeler though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
