On the bike in traffic you are invisible.
why do you think a car doing the speed limit will slow for an invisible motorcycle in front of them?

I'll attest to that! I have really good power/weight ration but a sport bike will blow my saddlebags off!

Thats ok Bill but I was looking for something not so ugly lol.

I ride a V Strom
When I first got it, I thought it was so ugly I'd have to tie a pork chop on the forks just to get the dog to pee on the tire.
I can't see that from the saddle.
It got better looking when I got caught in a snow storm and rode past 2 car wrecks on St. Andrews Church road.
It became a little attractive when I rode the Blue Ridge Parkway and never scraped a peg.
After I rode across that river in TN, it was almost pretty.
It's become quite lovely when I check the mileage on a gas receipt and find I'm getting high 40's for mpg.

Yeah, that pic doesnt, that puppy is BIIIIIIG. Sat on one recently, like a damn supertanker on two wheels.
Floyd, nice thing about the 500 Ninja, its been in production for more than 20 years, I owned a 1991 variant myself once. With that larger a production spread, theres bound to be one that fits your taste.

Yea EVERYONE keeps commenting on the Vstorm but I really dont like them. I sat on one at Atlantic Cycle and promptly got off. I didnt like the seat, the rider position or anything.
That 02 500 you posted doesnt look too bad Bill. Not bad prices either. Its just that most of those Ninjas look too sqared to me. Dont know yet. Im a Suzuki kinda guy so im not sure if im set on a Kawi yet.

The ST1300 is a nice bike.

True but the sport bike doesn't have a built in coffee maker and a microwave.

Kinda. I route the GPS video output to the flat screen so everyone knows where I'm going....

Oh course we do, this thread is about a Vstrom, silly
Well, then you get into the GS500s, and thats another +20 year model run, but there you cant get any faired model before 2004.

I looked at GW while I was up in PA..
OMG.. there's more buttons and switches than the Apollo 11 command module had.
Both Handgrips have a Controller installed that must be about 4 - inches wide and probably 10 - 12 inches top to bottom.. with about 20 switches and buttons each..
