I not keen on V-4 engine, too much engine to go wrong. V-tiwn is simpler plus the weight of the V-star 1300 is only 280kg, thats light 4 1300cc bike.

[plasticblackspecs]

Not really leh. V4s are ultimately also v twin engines. just like the Valkys, Goldwings and STs. Also not much problems. As long as you take care can already. Anyway you can't have the best of both worlds. Want power, must have price to pay. hee.

 

Cruisers that are too light like tak shiok leh. No feel. Must be heavy than got feel, like guitars, or in ermmm you know. hahaha...Light like Phantom like that. No offence Phantom riders. For me la that is. Heavy is goood. Sense of security for me. As long as you don't drop. hahah

Opps. My bad. hahaha..

[plasticblackspecs]

Let me try to redeem myself. Cover my ignorance of bikes abit.

 

Nothing wrong with V4 engines I feel. The Magna, V-Max, STs, and I think MTO1s and of course Royal Stars are V4 engine. All seems ok without much problem. The ST is a perfect example. One of Honda's best touring bikes in my opinion. I'm a bit tempted by the STs but out of budget man.

This metric bike next best thing for me. My Cl2 test in Oct so I hope I'd pass.

It's really that comfortable. I sat on it and I like the styling. The handlebars are really nicely pulled back so that I'm not leaning forward. As said before, I still wanna get that Roadliner......
