I saw one of these in a parking lot today. At first glance I thought it was a 650 V-Star.....but on going for a closer look I saw that it was one of these.
It's deceiving.
I don't really know bikes, but I thought it looked like a baby Indian.

^^ ride it just about everyday. Still gets more play then my S50. I just like this little bike. Riding it around the great lakes next year. Still working on getting it to greenland. Should happen within the next 5 years.

Greenland? I'm not so sure you can ride it to there.

With global warming Greenland may be green again and who knows... maybe there'll be some kinda new land mass connecting all the continents again. Imagine riding around the earth.
One thing you can count on: You push a man too far, and sooner or later he'll start pushing back.
You know, interestingly enough I was looking at BMW, and their F800ST - come with a free computer control downgrade - that takes it down from 80 hp (or higher, I think) to 34 hp.
Still might be a large and awkward bike to start on, but if you could manage it (and the $$$$ it costs) then when you are ready they could make an adjustment and you'd have a faster bike.
My only problem is that it is a drastic change in hp. They couldn't have a middle area - like 50hp?

Greenland and Iceland should most definitely swap names.

LOL. That's the reason it got delayed. That boat ride is expensive!!!

It's 33 HP. That's the maximum allowable for new riders at the places they're targeting--UK I think.
Having learned to ride (sort of) on an F800ST, I don't recommend it.
