After stealing an entire concept, I don't think Mr Suzuki has grounds for complaint.

Nice bike!

IMHO.

Crap for 120kph plus. Really comfortable under it.

I kinda like the "unbutton jacket collar to avoid strangulation, grit teeth and grin stupidly" thing that happens over 120.

I'm dead keen to find out how I'd enjoy it over several hundred kilometres on the same day. Just need to find someone willing to loan me an appropriate bike.

Sniff.

*twitch*

I rather suspect that I could be tempted to spend money on one of these Harley things at some point.

Nice bike, Though I personally would roll back the bars to match the angle of the forks, and mount a proper seat.

Regarding longish rides, I rode my Sporty from Kawakawa to Wanganui, Wasn't any big issue.

Granted when I pulled up at the Fosters Tavern I couldn't hear or speak, I had lost all feeling from the waist down, and my legs were at funny angles.

Nothing a couple of beers didn't fix.

Way to go to adopt local camouflage and fit in with the locals!

Yep, the angle of the bars is all wrong imho, looks 'awkward' - but still a cool 'old-skool' bike, IF I was rich I'd have one.

Sigh. It's because you are complaining that it is wrong that makes it right.

BD you're starting to sound like Jeremy Clarkson. (That my be a good thing - I'm not sure).

Cruisers aren't my cup of tea, but that looks a well put together bike. Shame that the handlebars look so awkward.
