Hiya boyz, First let me clarify: this is not a busa comparo
Now that being said I am looking for a cruiser to ride with my harley buddy's from time 2 time and to do 1 or 2 tours with same buddy's a couple times a year and perhaps ride 2 up with the mrs once in a while. I have been looking at Yami's Road Star line, Honda Shadow, and a few others. I usually rent a Harley Road King once a year and like it ok but I aint spending $25K! ( price counts out the Gold Wing too )
However I went to the local Harley dealer the other day and demo'd the V-Rod. And I must say WOW! what fun! Way better than any Harley I have ridden yet. Comfy, upright ride, handled pretty good for the wieght and it has way more beans than any other HOG. I still am working on getting use to the looks but ... oh well. And a 2003 can be had for about $13 or less. An 03 Road King or Gold wing is way more than that. So who has one or has ridden long distance? Comments plz?
Oh and I had plenty of looks and comments from the dealer folks about what I rode in on ; the fastest production bike in the world ... blah, blah blah - yeah I heard it all before... and when I got back on her after riding the V-Rod allmost gave her her too much juice when I left the parking lot
