Posted September 21, 201311 yr ###photos will follow, when camera is located#### Just bought an xv535dx via ebay. 2000W for £1100. Never had a 'custom' before, so new ways of riding for me. picked it up, didn't have much go but sorted easily the carb diaphams were sticky (have an fzr1000 so knew the symptoms instantly). How accessible is this thing? Sorted it out in 5 minutes, then took it for a 20 miles sortie....excellent little bike, very different to the FZ1 i usually use. Front brake pathetic, but it overtakes well, handles predictably and is so, so light. Looking forward to some mini-touring on it, maybe the Netherlands again or Luxembourg.

September 21, 201311 yr Awaiting pic's,,,,,,,, big change of riding style for you merv,,,,,,,,,,, sur that'll be good fun
September 21, 201311 yr Author There'll be some sparks flying on that merv knowing how you ride already touched down both pegs... you can filter with ease on it too, it's quite flickable. Just requires setting up for the turns and not to be pushed [i learn fast!].
September 21, 201311 yr Neversaydie...........ah too shay! But even that toaster will make a viggy look better! Ha ha.
September 21, 201311 yr Welcome to the world of cruisers Piln! Not a huge fan of the look of the viggy myself, but they're undeniably good little bikes. And who knows what you might upgrade to in the future...
September 23, 201311 yr Author Welcome to the world of cruisers Piln! Not a huge fan of the look of the viggy myself, but they're undeniably good little bikes. And who knows what you might upgrade to in the future... thanks, i was never really sold on the look of any cruiser but want something a little different. Doubt i'll upgrade, i've got an FZ1 for 'proper riding'....

September 25, 201311 yr not exactly words i'd use lol In the sense of getting you from A to B reliably and safely, they are good little bikes. In the sense of giving you that huge grin on your face, not so much, I'll grant you...
September 25, 201311 yr Nowt wrong with a viggie. I love mine to bits, always gives me a grin when I'm out on it.
