Actually the price is even cheaper around 12.5 at Steel City Honda.

You know I'm not sure about the model. I was there looking at a vtr superhawk they had and he was showing me the new vfr and said with the sale they were having It would be around 13k. You should probably give them a call and see.

that's just wrong, bro. why you tryin' to get 500 more cabbages from your SCS peeps?

not wanting to garbage up your ad if you do read this, do you have a power commander or some sort of tune for the header / k&N filter combo?

I think I will when I get home from work tomorrow just for the heck of it. Then I need to call the CBSA to find out how much i'm going to get raeped when I import it. :(

Yup corbin seat.. Got it for 2 up riding, my other seat makes it look a lill more sleek but only good for one up riding.

Sporty & comfy... You hit it right on the head man. I love riding this bike. It's fun as hell to ride in turns and eats up straight aways, and sounds like one bad mutha when your putting around town. I worked at a motorcycle dealership for 4 years and bought this while working there and believe me I test drove everything, and I do mean everythingh. It was between the V-Rod, Warrior, and a Victory Hammer... Nothing handled like the Warrior.. Suspension and breaking of the R6, 1700cc FI.. Torque for days, and with the PC III Power Comander and the custom tune we did at work it really made a huge difference. With all of the after market accessories you can get I'd say it looks pretty unique.

I can't see how he wouldn't.... when i got the race headers for my R1 i was told that the bike would run like total garbage if i didn't get a PCIII put on there.... I had planned on it anyhow, but figured i'd bide my time until i found one for a good deal... instead, i just waited til i had everything and did it all at once...

And i'm not trying to be rude, but this guy is silly to not sell the aftermarket stuff to Shorty.... when buying something used, people don't care about whether its modified... some specifically want a stock bike, cuz you never know how many corners were cut by a seller ..... To get a little cash + stock parts for the aftermarket parts, then sell the bike for maybe 200-300 less, means you'd come out on top in the long run....

**phillysrt4** · 02-24-2011, 05:32 PM

double post with an on-topic thread, but it fits here too so...

I saw my first motorcycle on the road for 2011 today... A 2008(?) Kawasaki Versys.

I'd have my stuff and for a good price, he'd have a stock bike and no one questioning what could have been down wrong/half assed (not saying he does halfass work, I bet he's a top notch guy), and the buyer would be happier with their "unmodded" bike. Everyone wins

**travj31** · 02-25-2011, 08:29 AM

**Shorty429** · 02-27-2011, 02:23 AM

I was out for a couple rides but its deff not ideal weather for pushing the bike at alllllllll

**scott5** · 02-27-2011, 11:59 AM

if i rode mine before all the salt got off the roads, it would rust away before i got back home

**phillysrt4** · 02-27-2011, 02:09 PM

**Inkdcountryboy** · 02-27-2011, 07:23 PM
