Switching riding styles

R1up0n1 · 02-25-2011, 09:46 PM

After having an SV650, two R1's, and an Intruder as I have grown up in the past few years I'm riding a lot more sensable. I just sold my 04 R1 last thursday, and the next day I bought a new Yamaha V Star 950 Touring Edition. I pick it up tomorrow morning.

I made the switch because I don't want to ride with a lot of people that don't wear their gear...I gave up on those guys a few years ago and have been riding solo with my brother-in law....well he went down last year and broke his collar bone which put me riding totally solo for the rest of the year. I started to find a lot more people to ride with in the cruiser world, and my wife enjoyed going on some of these rides.

My wife and I are going to take a vacation out to Sturgis this year so we really need to go for comfort.
