Saltydog,
Keep us posted on that Vaquero. Looking at some of your other posts, it looks like you are in the Edmonton area.

I am actually in Lloydminster, coming to Edmonton next week to test ride the Vaquero with Echo Cycle. Today I wss test riding the Victory, Highball, CrossCountry and Magnum.
As for next weeks test ride I will post my findings afterwards. The Victories were - ok, I find they lack low end torque, nice when you rev them out but you teally gotta twist the wrist to get them to react. They are quite maneuverable, very narrow compared to my Triumph, so easy to get both feet flat on the ground. Not a fan of the transmission, it does shift easily but quite clunky, nothing terrible but not great either. |
