Gimme that Fat Boy.

I found it a simply beautiful machine.
The metric cruisers perform just as well, but they didn't give me that blast of 'King of the World' that a beautiful Hog gives you.

I took it around the corro loop and loved it.
Like a big ol muscle car - it even sounds like one.
Waved at Mr Plod as I rocked past at 105kph happy as.

Pure hedonistic enjoyment on two wheels.

Criticism noted only from those who have ridden or own one. ;-)

Hmm I can't get the URL to work. I get a page with a few lines of text at the top and then a whole lot of "no images at all"...

Oh and a weird error message at the bottom of the page:

# Exception: ReferenceError
# Message : detectBrowser is not defined

Good on ya Dave, you have a sweet sweet occupation tending to the pandering needs of the biking masses!

I know you love riding all bikes, it takes a special combination of factors for you to go "that I must have".

I'm just with Mrs Kendoy and glad that the CB900 got a look in on your list!

PS - Will get onto those 150 words tonight!

(sounds like home learning to me

)

So it's the fat boy then, I am not surprised but the winning margins are so fine, it backs up my contention.

There are no crap bikes these days, just fantastic choices to be made!

They stopped making real Tigers last year,.......pity! (IMHO)

Good thread Dave.

Cheers John.

So right you are old bean.
It's just personal taste and picking the best tool for the job at hand.

The Hippy 'got up me' for never really bagging a bike.
'What's to bag. There are no more hinged frames, crap brakes, biggest things I can legitimately say I don't like are things like switch gear nowadays.'

We talked about doing a parody 'ripping' - like taking the Cruiser over Molesworth and bitching about it, then rightly decided stupid.

What I try and do is say - Look! these are the things that this machine does well - If you like doing...then this is a suitable machine because...

See it from a potential owner's point of view and the things they would want to know.

It's a pity you didn't include the Naked FZ1N, but I suppose I am a bit biased

Firefox or Safari on macs.
The pics are at .mac - could be flakey.

I'm using Firefox as well - but no photos no nothing. Just your text at the top and the error message at the bottom...

Flakey?

Well I liked the Tiger. Because of the colour and the luggage and the upright riding position.

Hey, I'm a girl - we are allowed to pick things for those reasons!

I think.

Great bike high performance motorcycle - no doubt.
As I said to ya - I still think the streetified R1 is still too much track and not enough street.
Even that original FZ we've had as a long, long termer at KR - the company truck - get's it's mojo at 140kph.

But I need to ride one like yours huh.

I have to do some work now - later.all
