everyone's thoughts on

[stephen1993wooster]

I was woundering whats peoples thoughts on a restriced yamaha xvs1100 dragstar as it is only 62bhp
The reason I say this is because loads of people buy bandit 600's and restrict them and they have 74bhp

I'd imagine it'd be too heavy. Wouldn't go anywhere.

Plus an engine of that size probably wouldn't cope with 33bhp very well.

EDIT: Shouldn't really need to point this out, but if you're looking at it for yourself I'm assuming it'll be your first big bike?

Yeah... no.

It's not a suitable first bike regardless of bhp.
I assume the insurance will match it's suitability too.

If you still ride like you did in this video (yeah, i don't forget things ) then no.

If however you're now a reasonable road user, then it's up to you

I was really hoping someone would bring that video up.

So is this your view of 'safe riding?'
You showed blatant disregard for other road users, and even the elderly coach trippers. If you were being chased, and in fear of your life, why were you laughing, I would be sh!tting myself. However, the one time a driver has shown aggression to me, I was wearing full gear, and refused to remove my helmet. They'd be an idiot to attack you.

Im thinking of sending this video to roadsafe. In the hope that you never ride again.

I hope to never see you on the road.

Now I'm off for a bowl of cheerios to calm down

My bad. I was just raging heavily

 

[Friz]

Can't blame you for it. That was how we all reacted when it was first posed.

 

[Mikesmotorbike]

haha, I like Bikermole's rants (and allso cheerios ftw!) but in all honesty stephen, stick with a good solid sports tourer or something
