    Needs an exhaust to sound good but depending what you are looking at for features you mightlike the vulcan s. Keep some of the nimbleness/speed of a sport.

    Very light can really throw it around, actually on top 10 fastest 0-60 cruiser lists. With a ninja 650 in it, you start to run out of oomph at 80/85 and can run it out to hit 100 eventually.

    We need a “like” button!! Also remember-it’s more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow.

    I chuckled when I saw the 27mpg. I guess there’s a price to pay for being fast. My bike will double that on a bad day.

    Let me tell you about a bike I built for a customer a few years back. 2nd Gen Hayabusa with a Rotrex supercharger...317 HP at the rear wheel, and more there if we went to a bigger fuel pump...

    That sounds like a blast!

    Well I’m still considering the VMAX as a replacement but it seems they can be hand pretty cheap and as some have mentioned, they may be a little difficult to sell as they only appeal to a certain crowd. I have however been drawn to the metric muscle bikes such as the Yamaha Warrior and the Raider. Anyone have experience with either of those?

    Interesting read on the bike forum. Thanks for the link, and congrats on the really cool build.

    I like the looks of the warrior but don’t have any first hand experience.

    I think I found a decent deal on a Raider; 2010, 6K, all stock for $4500. Looking around it seems to be the cheapest one and if I don't really like it, I should be able to move it pretty quickly. I am hopefully going to test ride it today after work.
