Picked up a new B5 at Polaris West in Katy, Texas yesterday. What a trip! I've never ridden a motorcycle that felt like tis, or turned so easily. Maybe my Honda CB100 was similar, but it's been so long that I don't have any real memories of what it felt like. With the Bullet, I'm sitting way up high and just toss it into the turns. Aside from this bike, I've had two cruisers and a standard (Yamaha FZ1). The FZ1 sat up high, but the pegs were directly below rather than slightly forward. Most of the difference in feel is probably due to the narrow tires, I suppose. Love the engine, too; it seems so purposeful, executing those seemingly widely space strokes.
Anyway, I'll be around!
