Don't worry Moto: Riding skills will come with experience and practice. Hang in there. :wink: |

Venarius:
I would agree with You, but modern cruisers don't seem to have any power, my car is much better than.... Not to be rude in any way..
When I had my Honda V65 that bike had it all comfort/speed/girl attention/milage/range ... I miss it in so many ways, had a great trip to Mexico on it.... But Modern Cruisers suit a whole different combination...
I went to a 03 Kawi ZZR1200, and it is comfort/speed/girl attention/milage/range.... it gets +50m/gal goes over 400km on a tank, plus I put a backrest on my corbin seat, and my wife rides anywhere with me....
I'm glad anyone enjoys their bike, and it suits them, you're bike has a great redish color to it, glad you're girl has stuck around... But I really wish Cruisers came with 100HP engines that get some milage... instead of the mostly present under 80HP/80lbs and get under 45m/gal on a bike that ways well over 600lbs with fuel in it.... that my Car out performs in everyway....
I apologize for the strong content of this message........ I just feel modern cruisers should have one version that is worthy of Japanese Technology... instead of trying to compete with American lack of technology that suit loud Cruiser steroe types.....
Boy I must be upset or something.... time for my medication |

| Isn't a M50 a middle weight Cruiser, and way lighter than the group mentioned in the message... that could be one thing, another could be how big of a windshield is on the M50, and at what angle.... Large windshields, staight up can easliy cause huge control issues on the handle bars they are connected too.... wind at 60mph, or wind caused by greater speed could throw any bike around, and even more to a middle weight cruiser.... :roll: |

But have you ever done it??? No. :stupid: This is because your experience on the road consists of riding an M50, but that won't stop you from telling us how you can ride these "big wheelies" no sir. :diggin:

I'll take my 32 years of riding everything, everywhere against your two years of declaring your stupidity on the internet. You keep on struggling to keep up with Goldwings on a much lighter bike, struggling to hang on at 80 mph and "struggling to keep your bike in a straight line using all your skills", and we'll keep on laughing. How someone can continuely declare themselves "an expert rider" :laughing: after a couple of short years and one streetbike, then come in here and spew the stupidity that you continue to spew and expect any credibility is beyond me. I'll take on your "challenge" as you put it from the ammonimity of behind your computer screen, and show up on a Burgman if that is what it takes to embarass you even more than you do to yourself on a daily basis. But then we would have to listen to your rants for months about what a "piece of "crumb"" whatever bike you were riding was, and how you "got smoked by Burgman" even though you are "an expert rider" :horse:
I've never met a more entertaining tool on the internet. |

| my past bikes have been a Suzuki RM125, and DRZ400S, and a 98 Honda CBR600F3 and I own a 04 Honda CRF450 and im highly skilled on all bikes, plus I own an ATV. I do consider myself a beginner on a cruiser type street bike, the only reason I purchaced a cruiser cause my friends owned cruisers. I am a pro on dirt bikes and im brave and fearless and I expect a street bike to thrill and excite me more but no street bike can do that. I can take the street bike you own and are experienced on and ride it to its limits and I can ride it and look good doing it better that you! |

So what makes you qualified to continually give that response? Across the internet you have no idea what kind of road-racing experience or skills that I might possibly have, so all you are doing is illustrating what a wanker you really are....time and time again. You somehow believe that just because you're the type of guy whose friends "make you pay for their gas", you can come on here and make big claims which serves to convince more people that MotoF150 is all talk and dosen't have the "skills" or the "friends" (that Travis Pastrana claim was a stretch even for you :laughing: ) that you claim you have. Give it a rest already, as I doubt that there is one person on this forum who believes an ounce of what you say (and usually every internet tool will have some sort of following of minions). You have long since entered in to the realm of pathetic and it's gettin' old.... :twisted: |

| maybe u are a road racer, ok I accept that, but I have good looks, if you guys would ride with me you would greatly increase ur chances of picking up women, im the guy in the riding group that goes up and starts a conversation with all the women we run into on our travels, and all the other loser riders stand there, afraid to talk to her them take over the conversation and some of them do get lucky, im the guy that breaks the ice I know the right words to say to women, thats why everybody wants me to ride with them. |

| I don't know how someone who "looks so good" could give such bad advice. All the ladies on this forum run like it's the apocalypse when you post. :laughing: |

You have serious psychological problems. And delusions. I am amazed they let you run around loose.
Just for your own edification, there are other guys who have the capacity to talk to women. Some of them even manage to have relationships with them.
Do you pick-up Pastrana's women for him, too? :roll:
Of course, you have made it well known that you don't like women or even consider them people, so the point of all this is somewhat murky....
And all of this has SFA to do with the fact that you are posing as an 'expert' rider and have been called on it. It does have alot to do with diverting attention away from your lack of riding expertise.
I think you should sell your M-50 and spend the money on therapy. |
