Well Bill,let see a pic of you Vstar man.
This is my ride,a 2003 Honda ST1300. I love it! Big Grin Maybe we could hookup this summer and go riding. Where in Ill do you live? Wink

OK Skippy, I am only about 10min. from Wisconsin Border By route 12. The pic I have is a crapy one. I have to go through my disks too find a better one, or take some new ones which I will put up in the spring Big Grin

Very nice Vstar Bill. Is that a 650 or 1100? Eek
Thanks for the props on my bike. It is not uncomfortable at all,in fact you sit pretty much upright.It is the most comfortable bike I've ever owned. I traded my Valkyrie interstate for it. That bike was nice but not as comfortable as this one. I rode on a 500+ mile ride one day and was ready for more. It has and 3 way adjustable seat and power windshield,heated grips,handlebar risers. and it has a 7.9 Gallon gas tank for 330 mile range and it is very quite smooth light weight and fast.

baddboybill - 2009-02-09 16:32

pretty much all the opposite of mine. Mine is loud, only has a 4 gal. for about 160 mi. Pretty heavy and its a 650. But it gets me from point a to b and looks good getting there Big Grin

skippy1969 - 2009-02-09 16:37

Thats better than a Vmax 100-120 miles max on 4.8 gallons. Very cool man! let ride this summer man! Wink
I'll come down your way and you can show me around.

I Agree Like the color of your old bike Smile

I'm a Vmaxer and have been through 4 different Max's, my last one now is all black, and I've had it for more than 10 years! I am trying to decide now between the new Max or the MT-01!
