Nice... Full power version I assume @Shearer?
They sound lovely and give a bit more midrange if you put decent mufflers on them. Watch the bendy bits holding the front wheel under braking or hard cornering though , the weakest part of an otherwise impressive machine

No. Not the V-boost model (unfortunately) but very tidy for 1993. I don't expect I will be dragging a knee on it

Shame it's not v-boost , real arm stretchers those... I'm still jealous though....

Yeah. At the time 145 (claimed) hp was good but I own fast bikes so I accept this as an ill handling cruiser. And it's orange like my other ones

Torque city. Should still leave an impressive black stripe on the throttle in second gear.

Picked this up yesterday. Looking forward to work starting now as this is what I will use to get there and back....(Well thats what I told the wife to explain why I bought it...)

i was considering one of theses 4 years ago when i thought i could afford one. Not so great for pillion and that wouldve been one of the main reasons for getting on.
Got offered a ride of a brand spanker one at the Pike run 2016 after having a chat with a guy. It was his 3rd i think. My own recognition of lack of talent plus the fact i'd had a few beers made me regretfully decline the offer @timattalon the katana will go well

Anyone else running an ebike? Gets a fair few places, early days however

Been very tempted to join the craze. Lot of places they would sure be handy for access.
I have to wonder though how long before doc ban them from certain areas as they have done with motorcycles. Granted a lot of that has to do with the noise and mess people make on motorbikes but if they really do catch on then it could mean a lot more traffic into "fragile environments"

I think e-bikes are technically not allowed in some places as it is because they come under general rules against motorised vehicles, doc might just turn a blind eye though as they can be quite selective about when and where they bother enforcing rules.

Having had CT 90’s and 110’s over the years I have just taken delivery of a new Honda CT125 Hunter Cub. Got front and centre racks to fit. Intend to gear it down a little. A few mod cons. Fuel injection and abs.

Huge difference from the old ones. Even fuel injection.

I use a 2 stroke two wheeler to get into an AWFUL lot of places. Ridden sensibly, and with 45 years on 2 wheels behind me I can say that it all depends on how you ride as to how much damage is done. In many paces I would challenge a person to see where I have just been. I have also ridden to within 100m of grazing deer, again with wind and control of the bike being paramount. It can make for a very easy carry out

I will also confirm that muppets do indeed ruin almost anything for everyone. And having been involved in organising some pretty big events, muppetry runs at about 10-15% of the general populace

I never would have picked you to buy a cruiser!
You will need to eat 5 pies a day to fill the seat.
