GlazedMcGuffin posted:Sploosh. I've always wondered how those ride. Is it comfortable enough to tour? I rode it 200 miles home from the dealer, straight across 3/4 of PA. I can say that the nice, wide seat and rear set position really made her much more comfortable than my Ninja 250. I can also relax my hands (supporting my weight with my rear end/feet) much better on the Monster. hayden. posted:yo i'm happy for you and all but personally that looks like poo poo, why did you waste your money on that? I dunno bro, if I put spikes on the windscreen and put a "DAYTONA" logo on it will I be cool??? Oh wait, I forgot I actually know how to turn my bike.

Sagebrush posted:It's not a bike I would ever choose to own, but I can definitely appreciate the work that's gone into it. Cool. Yeah well I do set up my bikes kinda strange.  My Dyna is in the back - you can see it is set up for winter driving in the rain. (and there is plenty of rain here in Seattle area). Another bike that you might appreciate more is the blue one, my friend's Dyna that just got finished recently as well.   Screaming Eagle 120R Still breaking it in but out of the crate with a new Mikuni carb it has 129 fp of torque at the wheel and 120 horse power. And since he has an OD6 baker in it, it is plenty fast for pretty much anyone.

What's the difference between a Dyna and a Sportster? I thought only the Sportsters had coil-overs in the rear. That blue one is very clean...if it were mine I'd lose the ape hangers and the back rest and ride the poo poo out of it. (I like coil-overs, so if I owned a Harley, it would be a Sportster or I guess now also maybe a Dyna)

The Dynas are scaled up sporties basically with different transmissions 88" and up engines (at least on the twin cams) and different tanks. There are a lot of common parts outside the engine and transmission for sporties and vanilla dynas. My dyna in the pic above has a late model sportster front tire on it and a deuce rear tire with a bunch of other mods like outlaw forward controls, vance and hines pro pipe and breather, custum fairing, bags and crash bars. Engine is pretty much stock 88", but it has almost 30k miles on it now so in a year or two I may get a 120r myself.

Time to Japanese this thread up! I know I've posted my older bike before but it got its first ride of the season! I'm kicking myself for even considering selling it to my brother. I love this bike! Back in the garage it goes in favor of my R6 now.

What's up first ride of the season Honda buddy? Got my bike out of storage today (a couple weeks late considering the weather) and rode 100 miles around northwest CT. It's good to be back in the saddle

200 miles of break in done - might get to take her out over the weekend if the weather holds:  One thing I forgot to mention is that it has samson true duals on it now as can be seen here - so you can compare to the dyno pic from last summer.

That's a beautiful bike. What's the arm comfort like with those bars? It always looked uncomfortable to me when I saw them on the road, but I've never sat on one or talked to someone who had them so I have no idea.

We are trying to figure out a trip up to Alaska as well so that might bump Sturgis.

If though they look tall they are shoulder height for me so they are really comfortable. I have apes for my Dyna also but I am trying to focus on the pan project so I have not put them on yet.

I want a Bonneville so bad, but I don't want to take on debt to buy my first non-scooter, but I never find anything I really want so at this rate I'll just keep saving until I can buy a Bonne outright.

 Bought it from my cousin last year. Best purchase I have made in my life! Rolled it over to 35,000 km. Its still blizzarding out right now... but almost bike time! Edit: Oh, its a 2000 Yamaha V-Star 650 Custom. Stock pretty much everything except forward controls, and different mirrors. Rodney Chops fucked around with this message at 00:21 on Mar 24, 2012 |

There's something I can't get over about the seat though, I think it's too wide, so you sit sort of bow-legged. At least that's my impression from the showroom. Very nice though!

Yeah screw lay-offs. Thankfully, getting into the world of motorcycling has taught me to always save up my money (so I don't get hosed with having no bike) and to sacrifice bigger for smaller, just to keep riding. At least I've got a baby Tuono, with half the power output! Thanks for the compliments about the new bike  It's got a BMW dirt bike headlight which is interesting-looking, to say the least. It's got pretty good light output. I really miss the dual Buell headlights of my K5 SV650, though. I'll be keeping the headlight on to help deter fuckface thieves.
