Bert2006 Posted August 16, 2013 Share #5 Posted August 16, 2013 Got into a 2nd gen this year after a 20 year hiatus of not riding. The last bike I had then was a first gen and it did not handle close the my current second gen. (2006 Black Cherry Beauty) At over 110 km/hr the front end on the 1st gen would lift and become very unstable.Crosswinds where also a ***** to ride in. On power it would also hit a wall above that speed. So for me the second gen is way better, it is well planted on the road with lots of power. Sorry first genners, no disrespect intended, just sharing my experience with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidley Posted August 16, 2013 Share #6 Posted August 16, 2013 The G2 engine is a bit toned down, the rev limiter is set at 6500 rpms stock. A Vmax or FJR rearend and a Dyna 3000 ignition module to advance the timing and bring up the rev limiter and you'll see a whole different beast out of the 2nd gen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trader Posted August 17, 2013 Share #8 Posted August 17, 2013 At over 110 km/hr.........On power it would also hit a wall above that speed. : You must have been running on 3 cylinders! It's surprising how well they will run on just 3....but at 110km you could still be in 4th gear and climbing fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradT Posted August 17, 2013 Share #10 Posted August 17, 2013 but at 110km you could still be in 4th gear and climbing fast! Almost bogging the engine in 4th. Should still be in third at 110 kph if you want to go anywhere. Horrible fuel mileage with only 3 cyclinders operating. Hard to notice lack of power but it will be very thirsty Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadwolf56 Posted August 17, 2013 Share #11 Posted August 17, 2013 I do have plans for the winter 1. skydoc clutch 2. new brakes and tires 3.maybe the vmax parts also I want to add some lighting to the rear any ideas??! Add a Dyna 3000 to the list. 100 LED taillight from Custom Dynamics, light bar under the trunk (look at Darrin's), I also have the Harley tail light unit on my bike.
