New Kawasaki bagger? - Page 5

I'm all for a V-four. In fact I really, really, really, want Honda to update the ST1300 off the new VFR1200 platform. I'd be all over that bike like an Ethiopian on a Big Mac.

An inline four in a cruiser? No thanks. That's pretty much an oxymoron. An inline four in a cruiser is nothing more than a complicated way of asking for a sport tourer.

I think a big V4 in a cruiser/tourer (like the Nomad) would sell well. These days, a big V Twin is popular. It hasn't always been that way and the trend will move again in the future.

I want a hover bike. I don't care what motor is in it. :)

Back when i was dragracing a guy had a vaulkrie with hard bags and a batwing .
He road it about 80 miles to the track raced it and road home every week.
I don't remember what his times were but it was the fastest dagger i have ever seen and pretty cool looking to

I have never seen nightmare's Vulcan run but im sure it would be faster

I would make a bike out of a old Kz1300 fuel injected Kawasaki. My old Voyager had close to 120 hp stock. Chopped down it would flat fly.
