AdministratorIt actually never came off of eBay, it was there all along.
I went and rode the bike yesterday and I guess I was very naive about how these bikes ride. They are awesome to look at and sit on, and feel great to ride at low speeds around town, run great too, but as soon as you get on the freeway the vibration though the handlebars is huge, to a point where you cant see out of the rear view mirrors and the front forks feel like theyre about to separate from the bike. Im told by the shop that his is normal with a ridged mount motor. Unfortunately there is no way Id be able to take that for long periods. I like to do long rides up in the mountains on weekends, sometimes Ill put on 500 miles or more in a day, this bike would shake me to pieces.
I really do love the bike and Im bummed about not buying it yesterday (had the money right there with me ready to ride it away), but if I bought it Id be limited to bar hopping in town, and when its 120 degrees outside that aint fun, you have to get away up in to the mountains where its cool in summer here in Arizona.
Unless anyone knows a way to rubber-mount the engine on this bike or get it to run smoother; it looks like its not for me (Im serious, I would pay a significant amount of money to get this bike more ride-able).Thanks for all your help and advice folks,
Mark

AdministratorThats not too uncommon.Lot of folks get customs think its gonna feel like thier Harley and cant take the vibes.Personally,I can do 3-400 miles + a day on mine.Gloves help a lot,I dont notice the vibes thru the bars myself.
High performance bikes are like high performance cars.Usually not gas and go,so its not for everybody.Me……..I love em !!! 😎loop-single-reply.php
