redrocket04 Posted April 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Lol. No complaints, just... commentary. There's nothing wrong with a cruiser, especially when it's in the garage next to a 600rr. It looks like the Vulcan is the winner. Should have it Saturday. Long ass drive to go get it.

mello dude Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Dude - I'm more a Honda guy, never really consider a Zook or Kawi on my list. -- The cruiser/sportbike combination is a good way to go. Kinda like a ride for every mood. Then also 2 up is way better on the cruiser vs the track rack.- Baring that, you should ditch the RR and grab a VFR. It will burn twistys and still be fine for a long haul trip or every day commuting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lp johnny Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 the Kawasaki Vulcans 800...900...1500..ect are good bikes..I had a '94 Vulcan 88..real easy to ride with good powerAlso had a Honda VT1100c(shadow)...a nice bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viffers are nice, but I kinda like the idea of two. 2 up for my gf is Goldwing style, anyway. We went to IP tonight, and she went on for a few minutes about the Goldwing that was there. Armrests, cupholders, etc. Had to nip that one REAL quick. She'd be happy on one of the two mentioned, though, so long as they have a sissy bar for her. To me, in order to get her on a bike with me, it's worth it to spend a few thousand and have that for us, and mine for me. Good news is, she picked out her first set of gear tonight, too.

Ahh man. Your just giving this chick another excuse to buy/pick out more clothing. In all seriousness. I hope after all the trouble you go through to get her on the bike, she actually holds up to it. Women are kinda funny about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSVDon Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 I am your Messiah. And this is the answer to your question.http://www.helibars.com/product/cbr600rr-07-09Either that or learn to squeeze the tank with your legs and use your lower back strength to support you. If you're locking your elbows and putting all of your weight on your wrists then you're doing it wrong. Wanna know how I know? The CBR600 feels like a couch compared to my RSV.

If you're locking your elbows and putting all of your weight on your wrists then you're doing it wrong. Wanna know how I know? The CBR600 feels like a couch compared to my RSV. I've looked at those bars, actually. I'm pretty good about not locking my arms, it's mostly the seat thats uncomfortable for me. I know, I know, Corbin. It's on my list of stuff to get. If I get a cruiser, he cbr will be ridden considerably shorter distances, and it won't be that bad. Plus, when I'm riding it solo, it's much more comfortable, because I don't have an extra 105 pounds smashing my junk into the gas tank every time I stop. On a cruiser with a sissy bar, I'm likely to forget she's back there. At least, that's the thought process I'm having. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope after all the trouble you go through to get her on the bike, she actually holds up to it. Women are kinda funny about that. That they are. The good thing about her is that she thinks things through. Very thoroughly. So, if she's decided she likes riding, (she did on the Harley) but not on the cbr, because she feel more exposed or whatever, thinks about it, and decides that a sissy bar on a cruiser with a more "traditional" riding position for her would make it enjoyable for her again, then I trust that she'll happily ride.

Ryan_c_F Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 My bike is for sale... basically the same as the Volusia except it's a standard, it needs some engine work, and is much cheaper.Check the bike shop section, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
