Hello 

I looked at a 2003 Dragstar 1100 today. Only 10,000 miles with chrome everything,  which I dislike but my main concern is the raked out front end. It's a wide glide type conversion. It feels like it wants to drop into corners but it doesn't actually do it.

Do you think it's a good bike for 2 up riding medium distances. I'm 97kg and my partner is 60kg.

I'm coming from a GSX1400 which handles very well. Hills/mountains and passengers make no difference to the performance or ride. 

Thanks

Your giving up 150bhp for 60hp bike you dont like on several levels.

The raked out front end should make it feel like it doesent want to turn. Not flop.

Walk away and look for something that suits you better There are no shortage of drags.

Thanks Cynic, you're right and I'll take that advice.

Yep, weird about that front end flop but I'll walk away from this one.
