My New Scoot... (Finally with actual pics)

[makenzie71]

only thing i don't dig is the shaft...I'm getting to really hate shaft drive (damn CX tops 105mph...)

[WildBlue]

I'm deaf as hell...  I need some baffles for these damn straight pipes.   

   

Good looking bike btw

[RVertigo]

Yeah... I've been wearing earplugs...  Still loud...  It seems to reverberate inside my helmet.

Anyway... My baffles showed up a couple days ago, so I just gotta put 'em in.

That's a REALLY sharp ride!
Congratulations!

I'm going look at a new bike Saturday.
A dealership is talking me into a 07 Ninja 650r. 
It's a REALLY good deal, about 800 below sticker and I think the financing will work. (ALWAYS worry about the financing part.)

Again, PRETTY bike.

Nice looking bike, for a Kawa    the colour is nice.

You still look like a power ranger, just a middle age one now you've got a cruiser.

That should so be the next TV show.  Power Rangers: Mid-life crisis

Nice Bike Rvert

Thanks!   

Good luck on the financing...  I got hosed by it once...  The bank was closed and they sold the bike to someone else before the bank opened in the morning...

You know, Suzuki worked on it too...  That's where the Marauder came from. 

And yes... Thanks... I know I'm old.

  Pilot Episode:  The Yellow Ranger buys a cruiser 'cause he's fat and old.

Thankfully I can't afford a new bike for the moment otherwise I'd probably have a cruiser or something that has hard luggage as an option. 

I've even taken the clip-on's off my bike & put the standard bars back on.

[RVertigo]

My GS has hard luggage...   

[Jay_wolf]

i Love it RVertigo . Its the most perfect colour ever! Such a mean beast , no wonder u named it so well .

Must sound like hell on earth with no Baffles !

[RVertigo]

I finally put baffles in it...  Still loud enough to set off car alarms, but much closer to a tollerable level.


I think the color was what convinced me to get that one.

Guess you tell the kids to get off your lawn too 

[yamahonkawazuki]

Go Go power rangers  imrpessed tho even with the harleyesque pipes

[Jay_wolf]

The day if u pandy it , wont be a good day , ive come close . but caught and held the bike , as its not very heavy . that meany tho  must weigh a ton

[jserio]

the weight really isn't bad. i've sat on a few bikes that are listed to be 650lbs or more. fairly easy to pull up off the stand though. i'm not super strong, i think it's the physics. a cruiser sits lower. center of gravity is lower. you don't feel the weight as much. imagine if your GS weighed 650lbs?? it'd be a real pain to move around. am i right RV?

[yamahonkawazuki]

well put  sir

[RVertigo]

You're right jserio...  It's heavy as hell, but it's easy to keep upright...  Nowhere near as easy to push around in the garage though.


I was backing it into my parking spot a few weeks ago and nearly Pandied it.     I don't think I'd be able to pick it up, but the strength of my chicken-leg kept her upright. 


...  And if I had a lawn, I'd be yelling at kids... You becha!

[yamahonkawazuki]

i would hope vert if you had a lwn, youd jkeep the f%$king thing out of or off of it

[natedawg120]

I hope you're heavy and over 40...  Only fat, old people ride cruisers.
