Weird - the older I get, the more I gravitate towards "fun" instead of "performance." bought a KLX 110L a couple of years ago to ride with my wife and I can't tell who's having more fun.

I went from a 72hp bike to a 29hp scooter, and keep messing around with
it's transmission (CVT) to get the most out of it.. and today.. a CBF250 (with 21-22hp) passes by.. and.. well, you know the drill, I wanted one.

Forza!
I just found out (and am ashamed to say that it took so long) that the
Forza 250 has this gimmicky transmission which I think every scooter should have (in one form or another, I don't care), so naturally, even if my current scooter is probably superior in most ways, I want one. ![]() ![]() ![]()

I went to a large dealer in my area and got to sit on a lot of bikes (sadly they don't allow test rides). One of my old favorites (vmax) fell from its throne the second I sat on it. Uncomfortable and funny sitting position...but I did find a new favorite, or 3 lol
![]() the victory cross country (and I the touring version is super nice to) ![]() the Victory Judge ![]() and the speed triple The part I find funniest was before I got to see and sit on the victory's I couldn't stand the way they looked from online pictures & now two sit at the top of my list.

![]() My buddy just bought a 2-stroke bike, and can't stop talking about the characteristic power surge (aka power band). Being a fan of Honda, and all things old school, I want one of these from the early 80's. |
