Curb,



Carolina, that zx-10 is the best one so far. I've gotten to take a couple '08 R6's for a test run which were sweet too. We haven't gotten very many sportbikes for trades this year so I haven't had a lot to choose from. On the cruisers, none of them really stand out compared to my VTX other than the Yamaha Raider. I did get to take our demo home one night and put about 40 miles on it on familiar roads. If I wanted another cruiser I'd be trading for one of them. That is one sweet ride for a cruiser!

The '05 Concourse was, interesting I guess. Decent power for it's weight and it is heavy. I hit the interstate w/ it and the wind from the trucks had it wagging its ass like a happy dog at 85-90 mph. Kind of unsettling, but wasn't so bad at 65-70. It was weird because I couldn't feel the bike lean or push as a whole, just the back wagging back and forth. It put off a lot of heat behind the shield and fairing also, would suck in the summer. I want to take a new Connie for a decent test ride. I've ridden one in the parking lot but that's it.
