Title: VX800?
Post by: jdanna on February 08, 2007, 07:38:48 PM
i just saw this:

i never even knew they made that! its fantastic looking, its like they mutated an intruder 800s engine into a gs500 style body.

i really really really want one now.

Srinath had one for sale a while back after researching it I was pretty impressed by it to. its a shame they only made it a few years.

First time I saw one it was on its' side on my favorite twisties.

Awesome looking bike. Wonder if it was killed off by SV650? (Don't know my timeline and honestly not so interested.)

Regardless 61hp. Not too shabby, something tells me the engine is more Intruder than anything though. But 500+ lbs. That's kinda shabby.

Though if you dropped oh.... 75 to 50 lbs off it and added 10 - 20hp I'd be pretty excited. And if that engine is the Intruder mill that I've had experience with the torque would be sweet.

90-91 were the only years. Overall flawless bike ... except the height and weight and the fact that it felt like a cruiser.
Cool.
Srinath.
