alprider: How did you like the Yamaha SR400?

Would you consider test riding the Moto Guzzi V100 for us?

[alprider]

the guzzi looks like the seathigh will be to high for me.....so i would not go for a testride...

[alprider]

the sr400...

saddle and seatergonomics for me is very good....

driving behavior+ suspension well...agility is something else...smile...like a cruiser that just wants to go straight

the turn signal switch is impossible, among other things, I honk the horn 2-3 times instead...smile

it just has that certain power that i miss on the 125ccm when it goes uphill

Overall, of course, it is much heavier again and but I really appreciate this lightness of the 125 bikes

it was my first kick bike ever...the dealer had to start it for me... smileeee.....afterwards i did my best not to stall the engine while driving

after I returned I tried to start it....of the 20 attempts 5-6 were successful and I was soaked wet myself....hehehehe....


Basically, I was only interested in the engine characteristics... I had never driven a 400 and only had 1 cylinder

up to 70km/h it's very fast and after that it gets rather tough
and i thought it shook more....that of course also depends on the exact engine construction...

That’s an interesting collection, Paul. Dust off a camera. At some point someone will ask for—no, probably demand—pictures.

Ok, as requested, I’m trying to load a picture of what is currently registered. The Aprilia Falco has moved on to a new owner.

Thanks for allowing me to post as a previous CB11 owner, and my apologies for upsetting anyone with my original post.

Thx alprider.

Hmmm, rough after just 70 km/h? I guess that might be a subjective matter - or a Yamaha thing? Honda might have smoother singles at that speed. Nevertheless, air-cooled singles are romantic.

Nice, Paul.

My highlights, other than the CB.

‘90 HD FXRS Lowrider. 80 ci EVO motor, best thing they ever made. Pretty much any distance on the highway in comfort and style. Geared perfectly for nearly any speed..in any gear. 25 mph in 5th, no problem. Loved that.

‘96 CBR 600 F3: Nice bike, fast, felt a bit small after years on HD. This is where I learned to respect Japanese bikes.

‘97 GSXR 750 SRAD: The finest sport bike I’ve owned. Far and away the best suspension and handling I have experienced. So quick. Like Warp speed.

‘99 Hayabusa: Never ran out of top end. Fastest I ever went down any road.

ZRX 1100 / 1200: Plenty of power, great handling and all day comfort. Beautiful bikes that ‘did it all’. My lifetime favorite big bikes.

‘12 Triumph T100: Nice bike. Motor a bit breathless. Felt like I was riding a moped when I took it on the highway. (honorable mention: ‘13 Thruxton..a much nicer bike and all around ride)

‘18 Kawasaki Z125 Pro: Bought as a cheapie commuter, ended up having a complete blast with it. Suspended like a sport bike unlike the OG Grom which rode like a pogo stick. This is my #2 all time favorite bike. I will not be without a mini because of it.

‘19 Honda Monkey: Coolest looking little gem of a bike. Great motor, love tractoring around on it. 150 mpg. Mooshy suspension akin to the Old Grom but I don’t care because it’s so darn cool.

Nice, Paul.
