Ok, my new wife and I just made the third pmt. on our new Yamaha V-star 950 tourer. I never thought I would own a bagger. I was looking for something a lil more "fun" that could accomodate a passenger and luggage. We also wanted something she could ride (yes she rides
).
Bringing it home for the first time was a new experience , Its been a long time since I've rode anything other than a sport bike. You dont squeeze your knees, you dont slide off the seat while turning and parts drag the asphalt a lil sooner (scared the sh!t outta me the first time). After about 1500 miles on it I actually like it. Its comfortable, turns incrediblly tight in a parking lot, is awesome at slow speeds and can keep up with my friend's Harley.
But every time I sit on it I can't wait till i go back to New York so I can bring my Monster down to Florida.
