    what new bike ???

    in The Bar

    Posted

    Right, Im a big fan of Harley's and ive helped build two of my step dads, thing is they are A LOT of work and if you do not keep on top of them they become a pain in the ass and cost the same as buying a state in America. hard to find a good one thats less than £4k and most have either had the chrome polished to less than a fag paper or are starting to rust. Brakes are about as good as a Roses tin lid if you go for an older one or if your going to get a brand new one they now coming fitted with "Harleys Davidsons advanced braking system" or as we know them as proper brakes. (only taken them 90 years to do it but better late than never hey?) Again id love a Harley and will get one some day but just take into account that every thing Harley is pricey and a paint in the japs eye.

    XV950.

    Yamaha build quality and reliability, a bike that will start on the button no matter what and dosn't need to be hooked up to a life support machine every night so as that the battery dosen't die. part can be cheep and found very easy, same looks as a Harley (more or less) without all the hasstle and will cost less than the american one too.

    Also i see that your still on a 125, are you sure you wanna get some thing thats got enought torque that it can pull your house to a new post code area? why not go for the XVS 650? or the Ho*** Shaddow 650? just so you can build up to the power. My mate has just gone from a YBR R125 to a brand new R1 and fitted a quick action throttle (cos he's a twat) and binned it due to the power difference which he said he could handle :crazy::wank4az:

    Just my 2p

    lol thanks so may be better of paying that bit more for the xv950 £7.500 new . Harley £6.995 new in the long run :)

    and as for xvs650 i do like them when bobber :)

    and shadow NO

    and as for such big jump im 32 now so not in to speed so wont be riding like a nutter i prefer to cruse lol i used to ride bikes at a younger age ( Motocross ) so im not a completely new to bikes :)

    right i'm currently half way though my bike licence got mod 1 on 19th feb . but had letter from DVLA saying need to renew licence .

    just had my new one come today and has on the back

    AM 28/01/14 ... 01/04/51 ... 122

    A 19/01/13 ... 01/04/51 ... (79 tri)

    and also the car ones ect...

    hi there everyone

    i'm lee i'm 32 from Telford Shropshire just getting back in to bikes after a few years out after having kids

    i was bought up on bikes (off road) until i was 17 when i met my love of my life ;) the wife :) and have had 4 sons. now i'm 32 and decided i want to get back in to them . passed my CBT in December and theory just doing my lessons now and hoping to pass by summer to get out on the road with my old man who rides a Harley Davidson

    i have just bought my self the XVS 125 and finding it a nice bike don't look like a 125 so will most likely stay with XVS just a bigger one
