Very nice if you like that sort of thing (and many do) and beautifully done but.... Not my cup of tea.... :cool2:

Lets face it ...... I ride an old Guzzi... I like it my old Guzzi, I don't owe money on it.... I don't need more bike... I need to finish the Trumpy I have...

Love to have a test ride but..... Nah.... Best leave it at that...

Sounds like me - just replace Guzzi with Harley and then Trumpy with Suzuki...

vrscA is the first of the V-Rods and the ones with all the crome.

vrscB is the cheaper model without as much chrome on the engine and bits and pieces.

VRSCB has different instruments and handlebars. 2004 models all have lower final gearing to aid fuckwits like me doing burnouts and wheelstands.

Nice.

You have to grok the Alphabet Soup before you're allowed to ride the One True Motorcycle.
