I’ve always had an attraction to big jugs v-twin cleavage. What is that…a Victory Vision? Good on you! Hope you ride the wheels off of it. If you get too decrepit, a modern sidecar would look stylish and probably improve low-speed stability. Thanks for posting this. Carry on. Cool

In terms of looks you could use this as a benchmark. At the top I’d say Ducati 916, maybe RC30, my own SC28 foxeye ‘Blade, and at the bottom? Not a scooter, not a Harley (although close) nor even a Kawasaki VN800 drifter (which at least has some heritage from 1930s Indians And the like) but…

This bike.

Sorry it’s my new benchmark for ugly.

However, it does have a point as I’m sure it’s supremely comfortable, it has luggage and wind protection. It has a point and that point is low speed touring. Most Harley’s? Nothing except the way they look which is not a point in and of itself. That’s one of the beauties of the 916, RC30 etc. they are good bikes and did well in bike sport as well as being exceedingly beautiful.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Oh I know most people will stick their noses up at it, it's actually part of the charm as far as I'm concerned.

Anyway, nothing any of you have said has come close to wifies ridicule. Her best remark, it looks like a bad Dr Who prop. How rude. Ah well, when I take a nubile young lady for a ride (on the back) she'll moan like fuck. Laughing

But I love big cruisers and this was cheap as chips compared with a wing so I'll give it a go, and if it proves too heavy for me, I've not mortgaged the house for it and I'm sure I'll find some other deluded fool to buy it.
