Coro loop on a cruiser or large sports tourer?

[Squiggles]

i saw a large group of cruisers out there a few weekends back, they were heading south of coro as i went north, mostly harleys, but a few classics too

Are you really that stupid or do you just like to pretend cause it's the 'cool' thing to do in NZ?

Coro loop is good fun on a cruiser. So what if I have to take corners slower than warp 9. I'de be there quite often if the bikes were working and I had money.

It's crazy fun on the VMax as well.

its like the new ninja250, its absolute crap because it dosent have usd forks.

btw the usd thing is a p/t of skidmark

Saw a big group up there today, must've been 10-15 bikes there.

Noticed a bunch of Gold Wings, HD's and those funny BMW cruisers today on my way out of here to watch the classics at Puke. I'm sure those folk all did well and had a great day- several thousand Maui campervans seem to cope just fine.
Mind you- now the hols are over there are a few bald stony bits being opened up on the hill between Kopu and Tairua, so if you love your paintwork and forks, go the other way.

But a turbo charged Vespa, (either that or the said cruiser couldnt be bothered changing out of 1st :-)

Bollocks.

Hey, don't you think the side stand makes the bike lean a bit too far?

I've pootled all round those roads on the Uberpharter. I don't know if that classes as a sports tourer (von Klunken refuses to respond to any designation other than schnell-panzer) but it's certainly *large*

Why would one suppose that crusiers or sports tourers (large or otherwise) would have any problems?

In fact, those sort of roads are exactly what tourers are built for, and they are right in their element - while sprotsbikes are not and keep complaining about the quality of the roads.
