Orrin Posted October 19, 2007 Share #1 Posted October 19, 2007 I like to go to m/c dealers just to look at bikes, both new and used. sometimes they will let me ride one if they are not busy. What three bikes would you like to "demo" just for fun, not to buy but because you are curious. Mine is the Rocket III, Harley Road Glide, and the Valkyrie.

cowpuc Posted October 19, 2007 Share #4 Posted October 19, 2007 Lets see,, I LOVE horsepower, high speed wheelies and cornering,, Hmmmm,, I had a Buell Thunderbolt a couple years ago that was a little fun,, wayyyy underpowered though but the flickability was great,, Hmmm.. Okkk,, First and R1 Yamaha, then a Hyabusa and then back to the yam shop for another test on the R1.. I LOVE the idea of 102 mph in first gear,, makes me smile just thinkin about it...

pegscraper Posted October 19, 2007 Share #6 Posted October 19, 2007 I would choose a V Max, a Valkyrie, and the Yamaha ST1300 (not sure of the model name there, their sport touring model). Honda isn't making anything right now that I would want. The rest of them never did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonRider Posted October 19, 2007 Share #7 Posted October 19, 2007 The ST1300 is Honda's sport touring model.......Yamaha is the FJR.........

Guest KitCarson Posted October 19, 2007 Share #8 Posted October 19, 2007 Want to ride a neat bike? Yamaha makes one of the best.....it is the new RAIDER.......it is a 1854cc Mean machine......fuel injected.....wireless throttle sensor, and straight line drive belt. If one wants a freedom machine and if one rode by oneself.......this is a very, very nice bike. Take a look at that one....you will love it.

muffinman Posted October 19, 2007 Share #10 Posted October 19, 2007 Jeff, do you think it would be fast enuff for you........... Maybe yes maybe no but I could tweak the fuel controller to get a little more out of it I am sure. The one thing for sure is at top end it Would out run the blonde Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonRider Posted October 19, 2007 Share #11 Posted October 19, 2007 For you it better be equipped with a paracahute and really good good brakes, it will likely outrun anything out there that is street legal................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegscraper Posted October 19, 2007 Share #12 Posted October 19, 2007 The ST1300 is Honda's sport touring model.......Yamaha is the FJR......... There you go. I knew that ST didn't sound right, but I couldn't come up with what it was. I'm thinking that electric windshield height adjustment would be really nice.

What three bikes would you like to "demo" just for fun, not to buy but because you are curious. Mine is the Rocket III, Harley Road Glide, and the Valkyrie. I've already ridden 2 of your 3. So for me it would be the Rocket III, Victory Vision, and Indian Dakota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRadi8 Posted October 19, 2007 Share #20 Posted October 19, 2007 There you go. I knew that ST didn't sound right, but I couldn't come up with what it was. I'm thinking that electric windshield height adjustment would be really nice. It's pretty sweet. I rode a K1200LT with one and played around with it. It would be nice to adjust to allow more/less air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
