Re: Two wheels good.
What's the going rate for a full power Yamaha VMax these days?
Do they really handle as bad as their reputation suggest and would a 50 year old who spent the late 80s riding bad handling 70s big capacity bikes like CB900s and pre Katana GSX1100s feel right at home?

Re: Two wheels good.
Well that's something off my bucket list then. I always imagined them as a sort of AC Cobra with half the wheels and cylinders. Clearly on TDW they're more regarded as an AC Invacar with 33% less wheels.

To be fair, he absolutely LOVED it and wouldn't hear a word against it.
However, he was a notorious bell-end so no one took any notice

Re: Two wheels good.
I guess I'll give them a miss then. On the subject of bikes that will kill you one day with absolutely no warning, just exactly how bad or rewarding is the Suzuki TL1000S? Obviously I mean with the original public toilet door closer rear shock.
