Posts: 628 Mid-Missouri Gender:	Re: New Yamaha Stryker Reply #15 - 09/08/10 at 06:07:17 I wonder what the parallel twin in my Suzuki Burgman would do hooked to a manual tranny in a light bike. It is pretty quick with the CVT in the heavy scooter. I bought my son a 83 Suzuki GS450E and am going to turn it into a cafe racer. The parallel twin 450 does pretty good with the 6 speed tranny.

As a current rider of a Vstar 1300 I can attest to the fact that the bike is a very sweet ride. The "Raider" like styling of the Stryker may not be for everyone's taste, but I guarantee the fit and finish plus that sweet engine will be head and shoulders above Honda's new VTX 1300 offerings.

I would like Yamaha to do a thumper though.

SR400 derived the from the SR500 which around the world is very popular. Only sold for 3 years in the US though. Id LOVE to have one if i could find one that someone hasnt already cafe'd.

Why is it "cool" to ride something thats so blasted uncomfortable? Someone who is "making astatement" can have it.

I just want mid pegs, what's the point of having a low seat height of 26 inches if it's still a 32 inch reach to the freaking rear brake!!
