[low-n-slow]

Right here:

Low and Bad

My neighbor just bought an Ironhorse 'Texas Chopper' model, all black with the softail and manual clutch...nice bike but that clutch is a real b!tch, I believe I would have spent the extra $1,300 for a hydraulic clutch.

Another neighbor just recently bought a custom chopper from a relatively new builder, Swift, he got the 'Punisher' model with a hardtail. Beautiful bike but I believe I would have spent the extra 3 grand on the softail, I rode it a couple of times and the name fits. Hauls some kind of a$$ though.

Good thread. I just rode 176 miles on my Yammaha R-1, up through the Napa valley. Nice ride.

The R1 is the best bike I have ever ridden...

 

[FN FAL]

1981 Honda CBX here. 6 carbs, 6 cylinder in-line, 24 valve, dual over head cam. It weighs a ton, has a really forward CG, and is not the best on gas. But it is smooth, it likes rolling on the interstate at triple digit speeds and sounds like a Porsche when I grind the gears.

It also comes with the factory saddle bags and fairing, most people mistake it for a BMW.

yammy v-max,
one of the ballsiest production bikes around,
too much for most people....

but you could say the same for the majority of those zipperheads on their crotchrockets

 

[Jmmccutc]

VTX 1800...bad ass...

 

[DenverDude2002]

Ahh yes the good old V Max, unchanged since 1986

 

[DC4boy]

YES!!!!

Finally 350, something you and I agree on...

That bike is awesomley fast, but handles like an absolute dream.

I entered a slow left hand sweeper just a touch too fast and thought I was done for sure. The nose made slight grab for the outside of the turn, then, before I knew what was gong on, it went straight back to the line I had taken.

Hands down, best bike ever built................IMO

Ride hard, Ride fast, stay out of the hospital...........

 

[surv1]

Easy, the Y2K turbine powered cruiser! This thing is amazing!

The Yamaha V-max came out in '85. The design was supposedly inspired by american hotrods, and Yamaha wanted a bike that would haul a$$ in the quarter mile. Incidently, the introduction of the Vmax was also the death sentence for the Honda Magna, which was the reigning powerbike in the 80s.

V4 motor, 1200cc and 150HP. Sounds soooo gooood....

And yes, it has changed very little since it's introduction almost 20 years ago!

 

[antney]

Yes the R1 is awesome. Just bought my 04 R6 last week, still a great bike, good balls, not as good as the R1, but I owuld like to live through the summer!

Any of these will work.

It's great to see that motorcycles are getting better and better designed as time goes on. My favorite is crash-proof's.

However, I have to say that the jockey shifter is probably the dumbest invention ever.

 

[Swass]

This is the one

I agree, sweet ride. Even more hp for '04, I want one.


Here's another, check out the Wraith. Holy Smokes - Wraith

 

[Britpilot]

This one will do nicely

lol your right, i was saying that bike WITH a jockey shifter would be cool, not that it had one
unfortunately none of the good lookin ones i found had that particular option

 

[slide33]

Yamaha likes to print 176 rwhp, but all new "First Ride" articles in Motorcyclist, etc. print the hp high. Show me the dyno sheet.

I like the '03/'04 GSX-R 1000 against all comers.

Of course until they re-engineer the bike again.

This is supposed to blow away the GSXR-1000 this year. The jury is still out.

Linkus

 

[slide33]

I would use the phrase "blow away" carefully.

This is Honda's attempt just to compete with Suzuki in the Liter bike category.

The track will tell the story.
