i suggest checking out the vstar and ...

Scott,

He doesn't actually own a bike. He likes to go on different forums and troll the hell out of 'em. I think its his hobby. He claims to be a pro...yet knows very very little about bikes at all.

If he were a pro he would've had his bike fixed by now and know that FI systems can be remapped if ...

I would pick the Yamaha 650 V Star over the Honda 750 cause of the weight and difference in power, the Yamaha is lower weight and has better 1/4 mile and HP numbers, the Yamaha is easiser to ride and handle, both bikes are not that fast and quick but the Yamaha is faster and it looks better too ...

i was used to having 2 front disks and one rear disk so I had to get accustomed to this setup.

also...theres not much one can do to the motor other than bolt-on ...

it uses the same motor as the ex500...the ninja 500.

...well back on topic...ignore motof150 - he's just a bitter old man that doesn't know what type of bike he wants. he says he wants a sporty bike yet talks about buying vstar then saying he wants a dual sport. lol and he cares so much about how people perceive him that he's afraid to just ride. and ...
