V-Max may have been great at the strip, but on the road I couldn't get the thing to keep any kind of grip when I gave it a flick of the wrist. The back end broke loose way to easy. The good part though was that the back end didn't try to "walk" out from under me. It stayed dead straight. |

I had one for a week of road use too. No problems like that, could be because I'm a super-heavyweight too. |

Yeah that pic Babired posted is of the new Kaw. Vulcan Vaquero 1700. It's their replacement (best I can tell) for the Vulcan 2000. They've done away with the 2000, seems the talk of the town is that some/most people felt the 2000 was just too big. I myself like the 2000 and was wanting a Rocket III but even used it was out of my price range right now. That Vaquero is a good looking bike, I need to find out if the tour is coming close to me. |

Would be interesting to see a photo of the Danger Man posed riding pillion with Danny Pedrosa on the Honda GP bike. |

If you are looking for a good cruiser motorcycle try the Triumph 1600/1700 Thunderbird or Storm. Great build quality, great performance. |

I demo'd a Thunderbird and thought it was a great bike. Was actually the first and only cruiser I have riden. It was easy and very fun to ride. My only problem with cruisers is getting used to the foot placement and moving them back and forth at every stop. Other than that it was fantastic. I would love to own a Triumph Storm. |
