meatloaf Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Hi I'm an old biker (61) but a new member. Just upgraded from an xv535 to a xvs1300 the 18 year old virago was nice to ride but wow the 3 year old 1300 is fantastic, only been for a short ride today, nice and easy as I have been of the road for a few years and have never used a bike with foot plates before. Looking forward to a longer ride when I get the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
