The first one of those I rode was not exactly stock. It had about a 14 over narow spring front end, and a ridgid frame. It road great util I hit a speed bump and it started pogoing, Scary thing that…
Bikes that light should not be in ridgid frames(including Triumphs IMHO).
Speaking of which, Triumph is making a killer vertical twin now.
OK, I know, a VFR is what sportsbike riders buy when they get old, and the linked brake system is an abomination - but dammit, it’s a sweet looking bike.
And the passenger footrests are integrated with the hard luggage system, no unsightly holders and frames when the bags are off. <siiiigh> (After strapping luggage on a 748, I’ve come to realize how nice it must be to just click bags on )
Now I’m thinking that maybe I should not get another bike at all. I should sell my Bolex movie cameras, maybe the Eclair NPR, the '46 Willys, two Rolexes, and anything else I can come up with. I found one of these.
