had one of those for a spell, wasn't my cup of tea, suspension felt TOO tight or somethign along those lines.

may have been due to my height as well, legs were in a weird position

I know what you mean, kinda has that track like suspension. I'm 6'1 and didn't bother me much, maybe because I would only cruise short distance.

yea that bike is a polar opposite (for a 600 cc bike) to the 675, the 675 I love as it's flickable and it's like a 250 with more power (and 10x better in general)

I cruise a custom softtail I had built to spec. Paid about the same as a Fatboy if I had bought then modded. The picture is when it was new, since I've had the rims powder coated in a flat black.

This is my baby:


Excellent power and stupid torque (150+ lbs/ft) - makes for a terrific long-distance ride - but nice around town also, if you have the physical capability for handling it.

A ninja 250 will feel gutless after that bike. Try on a Ducati Monster, the seat is low right out of the box, and nothing sounds better then a Ducati V-Twin

No, I meant what I said, and I am fully aware that it is a 90 deg V-Twin.


And No, I don't consider a Porsche Flat Six a V, it is horizontally opposed, so STFU!

We had a 2004 K1200LT but due to my bad back it stayed parked more and more so I ended up selling it. We were able to put 24,000 miles on it while we had it. It was the 7 Series of BMW's bikes.

I was just giving you shit
Ducati thinks they are better than everyone else calling their V an L. If VW had that mentality they would be calling their VR6 an inline 6.
