Due to the design of the speedometer and the way the handlebars are held on, installation of risers isn't possible.

JD Powers puts out some interesting surveys, but I usually take information like this with a grain of salt. They don't release any of their methodology, demographics, or any real statistics. For example, what were the percentage of returned surveys for Victory as compared to Harley Davidson. Did the...

Both are good bikes that you would enjoy. How much experience do you have with motorcycle? Have you taken a Motorcycle Riding Course? Keep in mind that anyone can jump on a bike and go straight down the road. How you handle slow maneuvers under 10 mph should be a bigger indicator of how much bike yo...

The warranty is not added into the total purchase price in this case. The warranty was offered in the form of a na...

What's your point? I posted this to give people an opinion on a new bike from someone who has actually ridden a V-star 1300, so I'm not quite sure what your post has to do with that. Your previous thread on the V-star was to "dog" about how much it cost, so I let people know what I paid. I...
