200 tire isn't fat?

I just want the front wheel for my bike.

jserio · February 17, 2009, 11:55:41 AM

i haven't seen any info as far as price though. anyone else know someting i dont?

hopefully it's not overpriced that that dn-1 thingy. *shudders*

The Buddha · February 17, 2009, 12:03:15 PM

240-300 tar minimum. Anyone who wants a 45 rake needs a 280 tar.
Cool.
Buddha.

you don't think there is such a thing as too big a tire?

The Buddha · February 17, 2009, 12:15:46 PM

Yea, 45 deg rake = 270 minimum rear tar.
No one needs a 45 rake either.
Cool.

to much bling... if I was ever going to by a cruiser it would be American made.. just something about Japanese bikes that doesnt scream bad ass cruiser /chopper

I'll say it again: Show, no go= BLOWS

ohgood · February 17, 2009, 04:39:11 PM

i don't understand the need to make machines that have some of the poorest handling, suspension (hello, hardtails bikes ! this is dumb !) ergonomics and fuel efficiency.

not to mention it takes 1/2 a teaspoon of gravel to unseat the rider.

stupid, but oh so 'cool' to people that don't know any better.

also comes to mind:

worthless as

if you see teh size of some of the riders .....

ohgood · February 17, 2009, 09:06:47 PM

i just read a short preview in a magazine. it's not really a horrid machine, for a poor handling cruiser. lots of engine, lots of machismo. prolly not much fun to actually ride though

jserio · February 18, 2009, 07:10:49 AM

i caught my eye as something "different" in honda's line-up.

natedawg120 · February 18, 2009, 08:31:09 AM

Hey ohgood, its not a hardtail just looks like it is. I think it is an alright machine if you dig that type of bike, however i don't
