    I would like to see how he has that rigged. I see what looks like a winch line, but that ramp has to raise up some to keep from bottoming out.

    Those VFRs are nice. If I didn't own the Ducs, that would probably be my next choice.

    Sure it may wet the bed a little, but it won't cheat on you. ;)

    That's not just a ramp, it appears to be a tilt-deck that the bike gets winched onto.

    I do truly like it...bought it brand new 13 years, complete with the Honda hard bags i can put on or take off in seconds. Its a nice sport touring bike, and have doubled my daughter many miles on it, and now the wife likes rides to.

    I like having crash bars with pegs so I can stretch my legs. And a full windshield. At 55 mph I didn't care but at 75mph. I need the shield. Specially since I wear glasses now.

    It's also nice to have 4 speakers mounted.

    BAck in my younger days. I would plant my feet back on the passenger pegs. I"m not sure if crash bars and windshields existed back then. This was in the early 80's. Sport type bikes were just getting started. National speed limits was 55.

    I use to take my 78 KE100 with me when I did some longer runs that I knew a reset was happening. 2 stroke so lots of power with little weight. It will do 50mph. Light enough I could load and unload my self. 20150927_204603.jpg

    How did you keep it from rotting with the elements?

    Wouldn't take much to drive it down to a self-service car wash after you use it, or if it sits for a while unused.
