Hey all

Well I've been running in my mums 250 intruder (the latest addition to the family...oh it's good to have more than one bike in the gargre :woohoo:). Initially I thought, even though this is a great learner bike it's not for me....not as quick as a sportsbike, not as nimble as a sports bike....

..Then I rode it some more...I relaxed into it. All of a sudden, I got to my destination with nutsack intact, arse not sore, and managed to enjoy the sun whilst I was at it.

NO cruisers are meant to be gay I tell ya...gay....but, but, to tell ya the truth the cruiser is FUN! Once you learn to ride it like a cruiser, relax, slow into a corner, fast out. Its a little 250 but I can imagin what a bigger cruiser would be like. Man now I'm confused because there is so many more options available...m50, c90, m109r as well as sports bikes and nakeds and motards and dual purpose....why can't I have one of each. :crybaby:

The ground clearence isn't too bad either, I had her cranked over a bit, going through 45's at 45 *cough yeah right cough* and nothing scraped. I can see myself doing some super long distance riding on a cruiser. :scooter:

Welcome to the dark side I guess haha.

pfft a little rain wont stop my mum, if she can go off road she can ride in the rain :bleh:, bike should be run in nicely by sat.

The bike is just right i reckon, low and nippy but not super quick, she loves it.

Theres a phrase in the Bible something like Theres a purpose for every being under the sun.
I'm pretty convinced that applies really well to motorbikes.
Differnt bikes have differnt things about them that are just plain great fun. -Even scooters

On a tangent frosty, where is your car/bike store? If I am correct in thinking that you sell bikes/cars.

Small under the seat petrol tank if you get one of those :P

Not that I can complain, the mighty V4 sucks it's tank to reserve in 150k!

It's like having a peanut tanked sportster, but with more power.
