The modern Gold Wing.
Seriously, very attractive bike. However, not very track oriented unless the track is straight.

Well, after 10 years and 69,000 great miles, I sold my V-Strom 650... and picked up a new V-Strom 1000. All the nimbleness with tons of torque.

Man, the skill level of the trials riders is off the charts. I have trouble just putting my kickstand down at times

They make the whole balancing act look a lot easier than it really is.
I wonder what kind of weight those bikes have, and would be curious to know how tight that yoke is. If the yoke has the same resistance as a normal dirt/street bike, that's even more impressive! Also, kick stands are over-rated.

Warning: this can happen to you! Be wary of entering a V-Max gravitational field.
Nice machine, I always like the Max. https://ultimatemotorcycling.com/201...-for-a-reason/ Quote:

$9000 bicycle? Better be careful where you park it.

Your right! I forgot to read it all the way down to the price ...
Here's what I need ... but is this the right thread? Only $2,200 I couldn't find one about electric vehicles

No thanks. For that kind of coin, I could buy a decent touring cruiser motorcycle. I will be in the market for one this spring as my motorcycle group does some intermediate runs of about 300-500 miles in a day. My cruiser gets to feel a little cramped after that many miles in spite of a plush aftermarket saddle and high end highway pegs. They hope to resume their runs after a year long hiatus because of Covid concerns. The Yamaha V-max engine ( V-4 ) can be found in the Yamaha Royal star line of Touring Cruisers in addition to the incredible V-max. The cams in the Royal Star line are different that that found in the V-max to optimize mid range torque more suited to touring and towing a small camper or luggage carrier. They run great but the 4 carburetors are really tough to work with and synchronize. If I had a spare $ 60,000, this is what I would want. The T-rex Campagna is a 3 wheel " auto car " which is considered a motorcycle / trike. It features a 4 cylinder in line motorcycle engine. For that kind of coin, I'm wondering why they didn't put in an efficient all aluminum 4 cylinder car engine and drive system. |

When it comes to motorcycles I have seen some models I would love to build-each of them is in scale 1:4 and 1:6.
