Both of these are gone for almost 3 years, wouldn't mind another bike at some point, but no rush. The '05 Nighttrain was cool for about a year, then I decided it wasn't quite fast enough, and rather than build the engine, I decided to move up to a '07 CBR1000RR. It was faster than it needed to be.
ha. I went thru the same type of progression. I had a VStar 1100 and it looked nice and sounded nice, but it topped out at about 100mph. Sooo, I sold it and got a Yamaha FZ1. 1000cc of inline 4 that I had up to 150mph a couple times. On top of all that speed, it was quite comfortable. MUCH more comfortable than the VStar was.
