Sounds like a sex aid but it's not really.
Me father inlaw just bought this bike with 3500kms on the clock.
Shaft drive,water cooled,Key on the right side of stearing head?????
A quick walk around and the finish is quite nice, Dark green an blue with a fine metal flake thu' out.Big every thing,low seat hight,super wide bars,foward controls,the real deal Harley clone.Plastic bits everywhere,most of the body work and chrome bits are plastic.Makes it very light for what it is but.On the move it,s ultra smooth,has the same type of power as my own bike but a little slower on the take off.Has a higher top end than my bike but the wide bars make it pretty uncomfortable much past 120kms.Good brakes for this kind of bike but don,t like the twisty stuff much.Well it is a cruiser I guess.Could sit on this bike all day at 110kms on the open road but again it didn't like the twistys,mainly the soft suspension leting it down.It really let you know it wasn't made for that kind of thing.I took it down Hw22 and back.Once I learnt to stop trying to scratch it and got into sightseeing cruise mode it was a very nice ride.Even though it looks big at first,anybody could ride it as it's very easy to ride.The father inlaw is in his mid fiftys an hasn,t owned a bike for twenty years.He's going to like this bike a lot.After I got home I was a bit confused because I kind of liked it myself,So I jumped on the XS an went for a thrash up the Awhitu rd.Yep still prefer the old girl even if she is getting on a bit.
Intruder,I still reckon it sounds like some kind of sex toy but,,,,,, <_< :)
