Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 15, 2018 Share Flip ... almost as bad as telling people you are going to buy an Spaz Epic! Back to the drawing board ..... Conversely... I actually like them, and it's HD's most successful range, ever. It's got great low-down torque, is easy to learn on and isn't as heavy on the legs when you're idle. Took a friend of mine's for a spin and I liked it. But - If I were to buy a bike now, it'd be a DR400Z Suzuki. Bloody bulletproof bikes for all conditions. Take it anywhere, spares are cheap and it's got decent power. Can pick up a very good one for 30-35k or so.

Hairy Posted October 15, 2018 Share Just heard that a motorcyclist was in a crash on the Durbanville hills road and has passed away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 15, 2018 Share But can you gooi your cherry on the back and go for a longish drive?On the DRZ? Sure. But I'd want a bigger bike to do that, TBH. On the Harley... absolutely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted October 15, 2018 Share Flip ... almost as bad as telling people you are going to buy an Spaz Epic! Back to the drawing board ..... Unofficially Harley holds the the record for extracting the least amount of power from the most cc's.That 883 makes 43hp, a Yamaha R3 makes 42hp. Yes they are completely different but I think their bigger 1500cc cruisers barely squeeze out 80hp.Its laughable. Plus they vibrate themselves to death......... literally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starvin' Marvin Posted October 15, 2018 Share Pipe noise exits out back and sound is directional so VERY good for buzzing them as you go past to remind them to open their f'n eyes. I have an Akra on my 640 without the DB killer and pedestrians still don't see/hear me when lane splitting.... I would do both pipe and lights. I also have an orange light cover which is quite *** at night.Agree 100% about the pip. Doesn't make a difference when behind a car. I was behind my wife and she couldn't hear me, and she knew I was there. For me the orange cover is the best, gets you noticed, however its illegal.

Hairy Posted October 15, 2018 Share Must have watched all of Revzilla's clips by now .... and if a Harley can pull Lemmy around it must have some grunt Look at this review from revzilla I like the look and sound. (and price) but it would not work for my needs at this stage of my life. Allrounder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
