What do you ride?

2000 Suzuki VZ800.

 

Likes: Comfy for long rides, not too heavy, cheap, simple. Tops out at 110 mph.

 

Dislikes: Carburated (prefer FI), chain (prefer shaft), requires some valve adjustment. Really heavy cantilevered muffler fell off on a dirt road due to vibration fatigue (poor design). Dead spot in carburator when accelerating through mid range rpms. Not enough ground clearance to really lean it over when turning. Gas tank could be a little larger.

For hooman powered stuff, I build my own cheap bikes.

 

Road Bike: No-name AL frame built with Shimano 105 stuff. Speed comes from the motor, not the frame.

 

Mountain Bike: Access XCL frame with Shimano Deore XT and a Mazocchi MXR pro coil in front. I just sold it. Looking to build a 29er in the next year or two.
