Yamaha R1 swap offered for cruiser

[AllanB]

If you are interested in a Triumph, I'd look at the Bomnnie or Scrambler over the 'cruiser'.

[FROSTY:Me]

It is a 900 ie. I havent had mention of the S4, not sure what the difference is. Any clues? It is Yellow, not that colour means much I guess, just may be a clue?

basicly there are two 900 ducks that look very similar.
The S4 has a LOT of carbon fibre bits.
Just ask if its the two or four valve version.

Ready for a change already Pete.

Man I miss that bike but am still loving the Buell...

Bump for a sweet bike....

Yeah...my missus has decided that after years of watching, its time to get involved. I must admit that Im in no great hurry, I am enjoying the bike and it is sharpening me up a bit.

Anyone got any comments on the Monster 900?

Monster doesn't seem to have a particularly comfortable pillion position. That seat is VERY small.
It is also not very powerful if you are use to the R1.

So what kind of riding do you do?

Day trips with/without missus for seeing the countryside, and gettng into that "zone" where you are so focussed on the next corner that it is like meditation? Or longer relaxed cruizy trips with missus to see the countryside?

Not sure the Monster would do either frankly. And it will have high service costs. (being a Duc)

it wont be long then before she wants her own - so just get what YOU want, and forget about her - she gets to choose next round...
