strange vehicle

[Jolly Roger VX'er]

LOL, I actually don't care for 99% of the Harleys I have seen. I just don't like hogs. That said I don't like Crotch Rockets either. I am definitely right in the middle. If I was buying a bike right now it would be a Kaw KLR most likely. But, if money was no object I would be on this bike in a hot minute:

I had a Harley....not planning on going back anytime soon. Would try/buy a Victory before going back to Harley. Know a few Victory owners and they LOVE their bikes. The styling of Victory bikes is more my taste...kind of Hot Roddy in an automotive way. Don't believe me? Take a look @ their website and see the Hammer S....makes you think Carol Shelby Cobra!

I did fall for the Harley V-Rod but quickly fell out of Love. Not comfortable for longer rides...small gas tank.....hated by traditionalists. Its pretty hard to pay $$$$ for a Harley that other Harley owners hate!

I felt my V-Strom was too much bang for the buck to say no and it reminds me so much of the VX! I've already had it up to 130mph on asphalt and it loves dirt/gravel back roads. Plus, I get complements on the sound of a racing V-Twin with performance mufflers all the time. **If you would like to hear a close approximation go to www.holeshot.com (and select video clips from menu...go down to SV1000 section and select from 1 of 4 vid's)

I watched a show called "Twist the Throttle" and one episode featured BMW and the bike you like Bart was featured in a segment. I DO like that bike!

Sorry for straying off topic!

I have been attracted to the Suburu Baja with turbo & manual trannie but they dropped it from their lineup....before they started painting the "cladding"...like pre-2005.
