that's one of the korean bikes right? like, a 600 cc i think?
it would be cool if you would write a little about it. i have seen them at the annual bike show but never rode one. it appears to be a cool little entry level bike. how long have you had yours? |

well, i can't argue with that. i learned on a 650 v-star and by the time i had a year in, it was ready for a back tire and i was ready for a bigger bike.

What do you ride now? (still the bus :)? |
yes, still doing the ttc thing because i'm not allowed to work yet. i had the LC1500, and had the vs800. i liked them both for different reasons.
i am hoping for my next bike to get something more touring oriented. a used goldwing would be nice but i don't know if my ankle can handle that anymore. i want to try something other than a v-twin. maybe the smaller honda, the sport tour one (i forget what the model designation is) maybe a yamaha royal star? i never understood why they didn't use the v-max motor for that instead of the detuned 4 they did give it. oh, and i totally agree, the 650 v-star is more power than the thumper zuk. the v-star was a great bike for what it was. it just wasn't enough bike for me, because i used it for my primary transport. puttin around toronto it would do just fine though. |

it needs to be at least 1000cc's because i want to go back and fourth from toronto to wilmington with my wife. something with a low seat height because my right ankle can't do a tip-toe position anymore. if i don't get a goldwing or a valk it'll prolly be a venture or a nomad. i like the st1300 but i don't think i'm tall enough, and the wife wouldn't go for that riding position. not for 600 miles all at once, anyhow.

the 1400 intruder is an awesome bike! i would love to have one as my primary scoot. i had an 800, with the 21" wheel and i loved it.
trouble is, i wouldn't want to do a 500 mile day with either one. i did get to do about 100 miles of freeway on one when i came back from the dragon several years ago. great bike, but not really a hiway star. more of a backroad brawler. there was a company making long springer and girder front ends for them, but i forget who they are now. |
