What is it? I don;t know the make or model - but saw one at the petrol station next to me a couple of weeks ago.

'bout the length of a goldwing but not so "upright". Big solid headlight unit on it - darkish colours, kinda deep blues/blacks etc

What is it - any ideas? I don't...

VTX1800 Honda.
We did a comapro of a Road King, Vulcan and the Honda on that TV show thingy a few years ago.
Not a bad bike but I didn't like it very much compared to the hog. For all the extra cubes the performance wasn't that much better than the roadie and the harley had better cornering clearance, sound and that subjective matter of looks.

THAT'S THE ONE

Not the most attractive things (IMHO) but then I'm not renowned for my love of cruisers...

1.8 litres - why??? WHY???

Aaaa well - to each their own.

BD Unless you were answering MDU the pic I posted was actually a Suzuki Boulevard M109R.
