Sold my R1. Getting out of the sportbike scene.

Picked up a Yamaha Raider. Thing's a torque monster alright, well enough for me at least.  :) And much more comfy than my R1. lol

I liked how it looks much better without the windshield and sissy bar, but the lady friend says sissy bar/backrest is a must or she won't ride with me. And the windshield is great for highway rides. Plenty of power for a cruiser.

Nice Hua! I had a few cruisers over the years too and I like 'em as much as the other types I've owned. O0

Speaking of Torque monsters, I've owned a 2002 VTX 1800C back in 2001 and it was the biggest mass produced V-Twin at the time...it had over 100 lbs. of torque in stock form...pulls like a tractor.  O0
