    I've got a 140mph M109r Suzuki cruiser 1800cc with a 120 rear wheel. It gets up and goes when I need to. It can out accelarate most 600cc sport bikes and every stock cruiser out there.

    I ride a 01 Suzuki SV650S right now but I am getting ready to trade it in in a 09 Honda VTX1300C as soon as I can get home on a nice day. Seems to always be storming when I get to the house.

    Thats why I like mine I sit straight up if I want, the reason that I lean over is to prevent the wind from knocking me off. Hell of a force pushing on you at 70 mph.

    Yamaha WR450F for the dirt and a Yamaha Road Star Silverado for the pavement.

    Been riding various bikes since I was 4, starting with a 1977 Yamaha GT80.

    Ever have that feeling like something was missing? I did. Even with one of the bigger bikes on the road, you just could not take everything along for the ride. Not to mention, as a CDL-A driver, a single unit felt a little "wrong"

    Pulls like it isn't even there. Floorboards on the bike are still the first thing to scrape at roughly a 30 degree angle. Goes through curves like its only the bike.

    Still have a few ideas floating around to dress it up some, but thought i'd put it out there for ya'll to see :)




    WELLLL since my thread got merged with this one, I guess I should add that the bike is a 2000 yamaha road star silverado 1600 with vance and hines longshots and a hypercharger.

    also have a 1982 yamaha virago 920.
