RG Ex Member	Re: Best looking bike Reply #18 - 03/29/05 at 21:52:21 WD - I agree about the V-Star 1100. I like the custom though, not the classic. That's why they make more than one, right? I'm seriously considering the V-Star. My dad's got one. I love riding it.

All good picks, but isn't the W540 out of production now? You might be able to find a new one some place, but as for “rolling a new 2005 out of the showroom, but sadly they are gone. There seems to be an over-abundance of HD clones out there.

Extinct production bikes on my list – ’67 YR1, DT 250, SL 350, Superglide, H2, & H3, Z1, CBX, XLCR, Katana 1000, GS750 ESD, FJ1100,

Didn’t like any of the first batches of foreign “cruisers” w/ exception of the Savage.
They did not look right somehow. The Kawy Eliminator came close but still sorta missed the mark.

Well, that's just everyone's difference in opinion; that boattail Harley almost made the "ugly" list for me. But those other bikes are nice. I guess that might be the difference in generations. My Dad likes my Savage, but can't stand Ninja's, etc...He used to have a Honda 305??? Late '60's early '70's??? Rode the wheels off it, by what I was told. When he found out I bought a motorcycle, he almost disowned me. He swore I was gonna die the first week I had it. He didn't realize I had already been riding a couple years...practicing. He came out to the house to chew my a**, and ended up riding the Savage for a couple hours. Came back and told me to just be careful. He still thinks I'm 16.

Saw the new Triumph the other day, stopped and looked at it so long, I thought I might have to go to Confession for lusting after it. It is one beautiful machine. The guy who owns it came out to see what I was up to and started it for me. Sweet. My husband even liked it and he's not a biker. Told me if I could figure out a way to hold it up, he'd buy me one. Maybe I could get a leg graft?

I like the lace wheels on the Vegas. My bud had a flawless green '73 500 Kaw and all I had to do was pickup the note. No sweat, My Dad was OK w/ it but then there was Mom. I had to wait 'til I was 18 to get a bike.

I know it's a Savage site , and most of us love our cruisers, but I'll admit that if it has two wheels, it's in my wish list, from crotch rockets to V-Stars, BMWs, dual sports, Vulcans, V-Maxes, you name it. The only ones I would not ride on a steady basis are the pure dirt-bikes, those are just no bikes for me, but well, I'm from the South.... way South... Grin
