Will it's been bloody boring on here for awhile no ranting raving or piss taking so I get the ball rolling
When are the other brands going to catch up with the GSXR range they are getting closer but still have abit to go to match this range of bikes with 20y's development . They aren't always the fastest in racing but have still won alot of Titles along the way & will have afew more to come . So lets get some veiw's from those that ride Non Suzuki with ya best :whistle:

THE STREET ROD IS THE ONLY MOTORCYCLE PICTURE HANGING ON MY WALL , ITS A GREAT LOOKING BIKE , I HOPE IT GOES ALRIGHT


With Confidence: The Street Rod

You could tell that Robert L. Dennert (Platform Director for VRSC Motorcycles) and his team had real confidence in the ability of the new Harley-Davidson Street Rod, as evidenced by their choice of venues for its press release.

The team had assembled representatives of the regions’ motorcycle publications at Albury NSW, for a guided test-tour through the Australian Alps and high country.

They had planned a two-day run over Alpine roads and terrain remarkably similar to the best NZ conditions. (Only much shorter.)

The tight, twisty, magnificent riding in the high country over Mt Beauty and down to Bright would remind a Kiwi of the South Island’s finest, at least until the altitude where stands of Pine trees give way to the strong, pleasant smell of the Alpine Eucalypts and the various signs warning of crossing ‘Roos and Wombats become common.

They had chosen a route to bring out the best in bike and rider. An Aussie route that would yield results with relevance on this side of the Tasman. An international ‘mag-a-rattzi’ event, with difficult, winding mountain roads. For a new Harley! Real confidence indeed.

I was taken with the look of the bike from the moment we walked into the hanger at Albury Airport and saw 10 of them in a pristine row. From its nifty parallel-to-the-ground triple clamps to the look of the power plant and bobbed looking guard, I liked its muscular line.

We sat adjacent the multicoloured display for a quick presentation on the evolution of Street Rod from V-Rod. Mid-mount foot controls, 40 degree lean angle (V-rod 32deg), inverted forks with reduced rake, Brembo brakes, 5 more horsepower and 6ft lbs extra torque, larger fuel capacity, ‘two shot’ exhaust with improved ground clearance, new sports wheels, 100mm saddle height increase, flatter bars, increased mudguard clearance and several cosmetic variations were listed as changes from the older, cruiser version.

‘Mine’ was the orange one. When The Ed rang and told me I was off to the release in his stead, he also gave me the number to phone through my height and weight, so the bike’s suspension and ergos could be set for my arrival. The type of professionalism the Motor Co showed throughout the event – their careful planning gave me every opportunity to enjoy the bike – and I sure did.

Across the plains and into the foothills for the first photo stop gave an opportunity to get a feel for the mount. The flat bars and location of the foot pegs produce an upright, balanced riding position with neutral pressure on arms and a seat that produced no ache from 2 full days in the saddle. (Mainly on very twisty roads – no real long, straight bum killers)

The long wheel base, 1,697mm, and a dry weight of 280kgs mean that flicking the Street Rod around a pot hole or squished possum on the racing line is not simply a matter of wiggling a hip to change trajectories, it needs firm input, but the inherent stability as the bike tracks through corners, coupled with its very good ground clearance make it a delight to punt through the sweepers. Yes ‘Virginia’, good ground clearance. I touched hero pegs on tarmac only twice in 400 hard-out-Km. Possibly attributable to the way the Brembos so effectively wash off speed, or perhaps the solid frame that showed no sign of flex, maybe the modern upside down front forks, but more likely the fact that all these components combine to produce a well sorted, sweet handling, large motorcycle.

With 120 very usable ‘ponies’ and excellent torque from the fuel injected 1130cc Vee twin, plus the sweetest sounding exhaust note I’ve heard from a stock system, the Street Rod brings a big smile when you wind it on. The second generation ‘Revolution’ engine is a delight. It has a huge ‘sweet spot’ and the hum as it pulls effortlessly and smoothly from low revs is a joy. At 5-7,000rpm I was thinking ‘prillia’ as the Street Rod hammered and ‘torqued’ its way out of the tighter sections near the winter’s snowline.

The gearbox is also the best I’ve used on any Harley – smooth and direct with no sign of false neutral, yet with the ability to select true neutral even when stationary - with ease.

Final drive is by H-D’s now familiar belt system and the design of the VRSC range means that belts can be changed with minimum effort and ratios can be varied by altering the front pulley. H-D claim the belt provides smooth delivery, long life and virtually no noise. When pressed on the life expectancy ‘The Director’ would only offer that he had seen one last for ‘450,000 miles’, and some had been snapped by an errant rock not to far from the dealers on their first ride. The Street Rod has a significant enclosure to discourage the latter, and this fits well within the sexy swing-arm and overall style of the bike.

For a modern, liquid cooled motorcycle, the Street Rod has some lovely angles. It’s an attractive, stylish bike, well finished with top-notch H-D paint and chrome, as you would expect from a unit commanding a recommended retail price of $NZ35,200.

An overnight stay at the ‘Blue Duck’ near the slopes of Mt Kosciusco kindled thoughts of the Kiwi ‘Cardrona’ and the road that passes by. That southern man image led me to ponder how the Street Rod will suit NZ. Next day, riding back down the mountain – through thick fog and cold which could have been Arthur’s Pass on a bad day, I decided: Fabulously well suited to NZ - good onya mate.

The Street Rod is a rewarding sports motorcycle. It’s not for winning races, but none the less delivers a great sense of satisfaction from being ridden spiritedly through demanding situations – real satisfaction without the need to go to hyper speed. And in this age of increasing penalty, demerit points and chances of detection, I like that concept more and more each day.

The Street Rod is indeed a capable motorcycle for Kiwi conditions and will redefine most peoples concept of the way a Harley-Davidson performs.

With that in mind I pressed ‘The Director’ regarding what was next in the VRSC range when we returned to base. ‘Euro 6’ and the ‘Californication’ of emissions means that inefficient air-cooled, push-rod motors will not achieve compliance in many markets. He wouldn’t say what was to come next – other than there ‘Will definitely be more models based on the platform.’

The Cruiser is a few years old; this Sports model will be popular and is well suited to New Zealand; my guess is a Tourer. With hard luggage and big fairing.
Although ‘the Director’ steadfastly wouldn’t comment – I’m pretty confident…this time.

I REALLY LIKE THE STYLING OF THE STREET ROD, I LIKE MY JAP BIKES BUT ILL BE THE FIRST TO ADMIT THAT THE STYLING CAN SOMETIMES BE A BIT BLAND , ITS NEVER REALLY WORRIED ME , BUT IVE NEVER HAD A REALLY GOOD LOOKING BIKE AND I THINK THE STREET ROD LOOKS GREAT AND THEY HOLD THEIR VALUE

[pritch]

They aren't always the fastest in racing

Scott

I admire a well crafted piece of understatement but there is a limit ?

[heavenly.talker]

They handle corners as well as a GN250



I don't believe it... nothing corners better than a GN250! :laugh:

[gav]

Its taken 15 odd years for Suzuki to finally win the WSBK title, and suddenly they are best thing since sliced bread. Hows that MotoGP bike coming along?
GSXR's OK for mucking around on, but if you want to win anything (that counts)....... :whistle: :devil2: :dodge:

Just once in a while I see a bike that stops me in my tracks and maybe makes me swear out loud. (It doesn't take much to make me swear but once underway I take a bit of stopping...)

Last time this happened it was at AMPS and it turned out to be a "Night Rod". Sadly, when I checked it out, it wasn't the duck's nuts where lean angles are concerned. But hey I 'm getting older and there are less corners than there used to be....

Maybe one day?

Now now gav, they did come 2nd in a race this year once, remember...

[Sensei]

Race results have never made me buy that bike . have always brought what felt right when I road it . Was very close to owning a R1 after riding one but then got onto the GSXR & fitted me so own it now . Selling ya CBR for a ??? :Pokey:

[2much]

Pretty good bikes them Gixxer things...... Same they can't touch the other marques in the all important looks department, IMHO the Kwaka's in the lead, closly followed by the R1, then a few lengths back to the CBR with the Gixxer a distant last.

[gav]

Selling ya CBR for a ??? :Pokey:
Now that sir, is a very good question! I was planning on buying a VTR1000, but thats since been sold. I also read a very good test that basically slagged the VTR thou, basically because its still really a 1997 model, even the new ones! And thy're right! Compare my 97 CBR600 to a '05 CBR600RR (OK, you might want to picture a 97 GSXR600 and a K5 600) OK? Now thats progress, but look at a 97 VTR1000 and a 05 VTR, only an owner could tell you the differences :Oops:
So now I dont know what I'll end up, shock horror, maybe even a Suzuki, guy at work has a GSXR7/11 slingshot and says he can get me a minter 1990 GSXR750 Slingshot for $5K, sounds abit steep but its only done 20K apparently and is immaculate, but honestly if/when my bike sells not too sure what I'll replace it with :blink: Probably something sporty but comfortable, good two up, 750cc + up to $10K to spend, any suggestions?

[aff-man]

[Sensei]

If ya keen to stick to Honda a VFR 800 are a real nice ride have had & few goes on these bike's & liked every minute . Not the best at any real thing but great at all If ya know what I mean . Either that or a Late 90's GSXR1100R had one for 6y's Excellent 2 up bike power to burn & was pretty good round corner's as long as you were of Strong build .

[gav]

I rode a GSXR1100WN (I think it was, water cooled model) and while it may have said GSXR on the fairing that bike was hardly a sports bike, big, heavy, long, slow ponderous steering, wouldnt hold a line, wouldnt change lines in any great hurray. Actually got off it twice, as was convinced the tyres were flat or badly squared off, but they were fine, or it was bent but lined up OK, and didnt wobble and felt the same on left and right bends. Kinda put me off to be honest, but yeah seen a 97 GSXR11 and a 99 GSXR11 on Trade Me recently...theres also a VFR800 ex rental with 124000km !!! on the clock but only $6500, they seem reasonably bullet proof but that might be a too higher mileage, but still I'm sure its been serviced by the book, so may be worth a look.

TLR's nah, dont quite do it for me, always thought if I got one, I'd put a ZXRR tail section on it.
Silver VFR800 its on my watchlist already
The red one? see above 124,000km, while the motor might be OK, how about the suspension, brakes, swingarm etc, gotta be worn out by now?
The CBR900RR, hmm, maybe :headbang:
The Triumph? must admit hadnt thought of a Triumph, some of the Aprilias are going damn cheap, but not too sure the mrs is going to like perched up on the back, though....(and still remember last time I bought a single seater :whistle: )

[inlinefour]

Especially the SBK WSB. I think that Chris Vermeulen has really thrown out the gauntlet and I am quite keen to see where he goes from here. I do hope that he sticks with the Team Kate Racing as they have prooven themselves in both the SBK and SS rounds. I really think that without Troy Corser, Suzuki would not be that great as everyone often makes out. Yea they are a good bike, but no better than a Honda at the moment :devil2:

I'm talking about the racing on the telly, which has nothing to do with us mere mortals riding on the local roads what so ever. I don't need to keep up with anything nor anyone to mention racing on the world circuits, even if some people think its some sort of requirement. :whocares:
Gav makes a good point, however Troy has prooven he can win on a Suzuki, pity no one else is at present...
Anyway, I see this thread as a dick waiving competition and who is better than who. I aint here to join in and if my riding style is not good enough to be taken seriously here, so be it as I don't actually care. :whistle:

[**R1**]

Nice to see people still get in2 the old brand loyalty thing, I love my R1, at the time I did nearly buy a k2thou, but the R1 suited me better, with the new models apart from looks, they are all fliping close, if i were buying I would go for the new R1 just based on looks, but it would be a toss up between that and the zx10, and the K5thou...at the end of the day they all wheelie farking well and thats all that matters aye??

I grew up with Yamaha and Suzuki, so the brand loyalty thing I'm not sure about. Like yourself I just got what felt right and if I'd felt the want to be up frount of the pack, does anyone really think that I'd have brought a 600cc bike??? :whistle:

Hey Scott - good write up in next months Kiwi Biker about you - all your own work?

[T.W.R]

Suzuki lost the plot when they went to the K series ( long live the mighty slab side GSXRs, they were the machine of choice especially the LTD J series 1100 of 88') sure they have plenty of balls but why have most gone to twits? ( had great delight slicing 1 up around the summit rd in chch a while back, a l series 1100,the dude mmm, repsol honda leathers & not 1 scuff mark to be seen & he knew how to use the back brake too :whistle: ) it will be interesting next year when the new hyabusa is released though, playing catch up to Kawasaki again :headbang: check the new ZX14. and as for HDs why? sure their a cosmetic masterpiece & comfy longhaul plodders but why have something that a bike less than quarter the size can cut to pieces? if you want serious grunt try a Munch Mammoth ( 260hp cosworth donk ) :devil2:

THE STREET ROD IS THE ONLY MOTORCYCLE PICTURE HANGING ON MY WALL , ITS A GREAT LOOKING BIKE , I HOPE IT GOES ALRIGHT
Don't sweat it. I can't let you suffer like that so I will send you some Honda pictures to put up. That's the helpful KB spirit in action.
Let's hear what you think of the StreetRod. I rode the V-Rod and .. oh shit it was awesome. Saw a Nightrod for the first time at WMCC yesterday in a beautiful shade of dark blue. Even better looking than the V rod but I found the rear pegs didn't fit with the handlebar position- sort of odd way to sit but it comes with highway pegs so you get the best of the laid back V Rod and sportier Street Rod I suppose.
If the money existed I would probably go for a V Rod in the garage. When I'm too old for sports bikes or 'been there done enough of that' atleast there are heaps of cruisers to pick from.

[Zed]

When I'm too old for sports bikes or 'been there done enough of that' atleast there are heaps of cruisers to pick from.That's pretty much how I feel too. Don't even look at cruisers and the like when I go into bike shops, maybe later in life if I'm still around?? :D

I actually can't think of anything better being turned into a trike, especially if gyros could be utilised to make the main body of the bike turn into courners. Not sure how practicle it'd be, but it would look oh so awesome :niceone:
