That's not real is it KJ???

That is KJ before the breast reduction and nose job.

Reduction? Holy rollers Doug, I musta had some biggins!

In reality, I always wanted to date a woman that could kick my *** if I got out of line. So you know my line right.....

Bust' sent me this pic btw. It was some of his favorite curves, and he told me not to mis-use the imagery.

Back to sales in ST bikes....

Looks like a nice machine - though It would have been a huge improvement to put a final drive on that bad boy....

That would make for one hell of a machine....

Certainly nice to see them moving forward with more versatile designs...

Listen to you guys talking about aesthetics over functionality, I thought I accidently got on the Harley forum. LOL

It's not a case of aesthetics over functionality, it's why choose only one when you can have both. BTW the Harley guys think they have both.

A chain is a final drive.

If they would have made it a belt drive, it might have some potential. But chain - not interested.

Yeah,+1.

I mean, who's gonna trust something as newfangled and untested like a chain, fercrissake???

Hey Bug...no way are these things redused, these things are (silicone) artifically added..

I'm going to check out the FJ-09 looks ok so far...

Not a very tidy one..... I hate the mess of a chain drive - or maybe I've been spoiled by the FJR for the last 10 years...

I put 40K miles on my VFR doing chain maintenance. Not that big of a deal. I am looking forward to travelling and not having to mess with it though. What kills me is that magazine guys touting the Ninja 1000 as a sport touring bike. Chain OK. Chain and no centerstand? For touring? Get real.

Last chain drive bike I had was in 1965. Almost 50 years later I do not miss ****'in with chains!!

Why is it necessary for every new bike to have the seat that goes up at a 30 degree angle and all the funky pointed shapes of the plastics on the front? I know, I'm a curmufgeon and can't accept new concepts.

Icons of the era. This works for cars too.

Ionbeam, great styling photo comparisons. I hate the new head lights and muffler styles that all manufactures seem like in lock step to produce. Some of the new Hondas are hideous...others too.
