new bikes-not venture related

[cruiserlover]

I bought 4 magazines yesterday.Cool stuff.One was called raw.Its full of bikes guys built.some of them are rat bikes.Many great custom ideas.Also there is a mad max bike rally next april in indianapolis I want to go to.it was in the magazine.There is one planned in st louis missouri also.You might be able to find it online.

ride texas=lots of cool ride routes and rallys in october.I am going to at least 1 of them.

 

new bikes-the 650 kawasaki is really cool.also the yamaha fz7 and fj09.Tons of bike for the money.But the coolest bike, one I would go buy tomorrow if i had the money is the ducati scrambler.

 

I go to car shows, love vintage stuff.The first monday of the month is vintage bike night in st loius.Retro is in right now,good reasons why.I admire bikes with headlights that can see around corners,push button adjustable suspension,windscreens,multimegawatt sound systems,etc,metalflake paintjobs and so on.But give me a bike like the scrambler,give me a map, and say lets go.All I really need is 60 hp, a comfortable seat, a small windscreen, and a bungee cord.

 

I know since the crosscountry victory,indian chief,goldwing, the ugly bmws are in the touring arena yamaha will come out with something eventually.

 

the bike I traded for my venture a couple months ago was a 950 yamaha.If you are looking to downsize I highly recommend it.It can cruise all day at 75, ride two up easily,with bags and a windshield you would swear you are on a big twin from the harley brand.I beleieve it wuld have no problem keeping up with a dyna or fatboy.I also have owned a 900 vulcan and suzuki c50.Those are ok, but the yamaha really feels it has enough power to do anything and doesnt need a 6th gear like the other 2.The bolt makes no sense to me at all.The 950 stock seat sucks, but with the butler mod i bet it would be good.
