No problem. I'm glad you liked it. I was wondering if you were ever gonna come back :lol:Quote:

find a nice low mileage 690, you won't regret it. Unless you need to rip off triple digits on the slab it's the most fun you'll have under 85mph.Quote:

I wasn't necessarily looking to go low-ball, but why wouldn't I want this?
If the 400 LC4 is what I think it is, it's just about as heavy as the modern 690, significantly heavier than the modern 500s, and has less power than the modern 350s.
I have heard the engines on them are bulletproof though.
After a post in a different thread, I think I'd like to take an '05 & up FJR for a spin...
Still waiting for a ride on a street-legal WRF450 (type) machine...
This. Have yet to have the opportunity to ride a street-legal dirty bike that I'm interested in. Why have you failed me? Why?Quote:

And here's a curveball, although I DID mention power cruisers earlier in the thread: hoping to get to check out a Victory Hammer within the next coupla days. No, seriously...a Victory Hammer...
Dude the Victory Hammer is SICK(the Hammer S in particular). If I was ever to get a cruiser it would be a VictoryQuote:

Victory Hammer, yep, I kind of have that bug as well. I'm not big on the all black genre, but that 8 ball at NPS makes me tingle. I don't know what the difference is with an "S" version, but can't imagine these things can handle that well to begin with.

I do know the OD was incredible though. like 1800 rpms at 75 mph. Felt kind of soul-less to me. fit and finish was beautiful for the most part though.
:lol: There's really no 'power cruiser' that compares to even a vintage Vmax. I can honestly say that top-notch power really isn't a big consideration for me. If it were, I'd be turning my hunt towards GSXR1000's, big ZX's and the like. Not street legal dirt bikes & power cruisers... :DQuote:

Top 2 spots on my 'to do' list are power cruisers & street legal dirt bikes, not in any particular order... :)
Why isn't the HD XR1200 on your list?Quote:
