I love my VX, and here's why...

Very True, Heraclid.

And by the way, I went to eat with my girlfriend tonight and after parking the VX, an older gentleman walked by as we were getting out and said "I like that thing. It's unique!". No lie, the guy said exactly that. I smiled and thanked him, and my girlfriend was kinda laughing at me. "You love that", she said. I do.

My girlfriend HATES my VX. She thinks its "cute" and all, but she can't stand the stiff ride. This forces me to have to drive her boring accord on any road trips.

Get a new girlfriend.

I can't stand that floating on air sort of feeling of some vehicles. I much prefer some road feel and feedback. Some people do not realize that a stiff ride is not necessarily a bad thing and there are benefits that go with it. Sport suspensions are stiff. But yeah, my wife and mother have complained about the ride in the VX too. I have the 9-way adjustable Ranchos, but they spend just about all of their time set on 8.

My mom and grandma love those floaty suspensions. I hate them more than I hate canned corned beef hash and the color purple (the actual color, not the movie. I haven't seen the movie, actually) . What's the point of driving if you can't feel the road? Gimme something like the VX any day. It rawks!

I love the ride of the VX too. Whenever I drive my girlfriend's Jeep Liberty (which I used to think drove like a truck), it feels like I'm driving a hovercraft, which some love I'm sure, but it's not my favorite. I was riding with my buddy in his BMW 325 the other day and I felt like we were inside the road. So low and smooth. But nothing will replace my VX. I've gotten used to the rough ride, and I love it.

unfortunately I can't replace the girlfriend. The financing just got approved on some hardware that belongs to her in the near future :-/

Are you putting a rock on her finger? Way to go man!

Yeah congrats if that's the case. Tho I personally have issues with diamonds as symbols of fidelity, considering the long and sordid history of De Beers & it's various subsidiaries. But that's a whole 'nother topic.

Back on track, I have got to say that the VX has caused me to get more vehicular attention from the neighbors in the last three weeks since I bought it than I've gotten in the fifteen years since I ran my vintage roadracing modified Bultaco Mercurio up and down the street to check jetting early on a Sunday morning. And the VX attention is WAY more positive than that other, unpleasant cursing out of that loud, smoking whathehellisthat and why is it so loud?

Part of why I Love mine so much is this forum & the unexpected "ties" that present themselves...CEMOTO bro !
