Back to bikes...ish

[Polarbear]

I haven't ridden for a while now. I don't really trust myself with a big bike any more. I'd be worried I'd drop it. My best ex riding buddy has got back into bikes and bought himself a Honda Fury. I know, but he likes them and its pretty enough.

Im thinking of getting back into trikes but I'm not paying 20k for a Wing trike as much as i love them so thinking about a can am. i doubt anyone here has ridden one but just asking in the off chance they have.

The basic one, a 600cc twin is 10 grand new. I would buy second hand but rare as rockinghorse poo.

30 years ago id have just gone out to the garage and built a trike but sadly those days are long gone.

Sounds like you need something like a Triumph Speed 400 or Scrambler 400. Way better looking, and probably better performance than a Honda Fury.

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

What about a super scooter? They can be a real hoot and very easy for the older gentleman who isn't as good on his pins as he once was to get on and off.

FUCK IT. I can't ride a small bike, I hate them. I tried a friends Kwack 400, the 4 stroke twin, not the lovely triple 2 smoke and it was like riding an underpowered toy bike.

So I thought, something low but large and not a Wing simply because cost and they don't feel particularly low because a wide seat. Started looking around and found a bike I always wanted to own at a really good price.

Now it's very much a marmite bike with most people hating it but I've always loved them for the styling. Its also got a seat height of 675mm. Great for getting my old leg over!

Would anyone like to guess what it is, no prizes but a bit of fun. I'll post a picture of it in a few days and you can all marvel at it's beauty or take the piss out of my stupidity.

Oh, wifie called me a fucking idiot and said to stop spending her inheritance.

Virago maybe?
Almost in same boat after a month of sciatica it's not the seat height on mine so much as getting leg over back of bike requires special attention.

Low, large, wide seat, not a wing, BCF likely to take the piss of it.

I want to say Harley.

But I'm going to go for Kawasaki Vulcan.

I genuinely don't know what to say.

Presumably teams of people designed and built it and it would appear at least two people liked it enough to buy it.
