This look like a darn good peice of equipment to me that fits my needs. So far Yamaha won't bring it in. But I can get one. http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/photos/2 ... Tourer.htm
At first I thought this is the V4 they built for some time, but it's a V2. And it's not just another version of the (good) old Virago engine, but a newer one with 60* instead of 75. With a bore/stroke of 100/83mm this engine has potential, it could revv easily to 7000rpm with a few improvements. Seems like a departure from the super-longstroke of the pushrod Drag Star 1600.
This has a drive belt as does the Vulcan 900 anyone got experience with these ? You ride here yuo will end up on dirt roads and gravel no way around it. That is about the only thing making me nervous about it.
Hmm!!! I dont see how yuo can avoid dirt and gravel riding the Issan roads. That could be a real problem. Freeway riding in the states I doubt there would be any problem either.
Well the 2009 Honda 1300 fits the bill perfectly fuel injection and a drive shaft how the heck yuo would get one legally now thats a different story?
Hi Ray, Maybe you know this already, but... If no, try this: http://www.tpmotorcycle.com/products/listproduct.asp There are second hand bikes, but... maybe... Or this: http://classifieds.thaivisa.com/automot ... 21952.html Brand new or second hand imports. I asked for a Honda Transalp brand new, but they can't get one... Regards, Gobs PS: I'm not involved with these dealers. Just a thought... :wink:
Hi Ray, Not a Vulcan, but... maybe worth to have a look at this: https://www.gt-rider.com/thailand-motorc ... -t963.html 4th post: Ally from Chiang Mai is selling a Yamaha 1100 Dragstar 2006 13 Kkm on the clock, for 350KB... Just a thought... :wink: Cheers
