Once I get my CBR900 squared away we need to get together and run the Kanc. I just drove it in the family cage (SUV) today and now I'm salivating to get back down there on the bike.

Sure I could be down for that... As long as I get the time to ride again any time soon... I'm booked nearly every weekend from now till the GSR GMR in VT.
I'll go anywhere on this thing now since the standard bar conversion...
She's a full on Hoolagan now... I compare it to a Bandit but way more edgy and responsive... In everything. The way a bandit should be. But hell yeah I could do a couple hundred miles on this thing now, no problem.
I'd say the closest thing I can compare to it is a FZ6... But lighter... and with more balls.Last edited by Jedz123; 06-27-2016, 10:37 PM.Comment

Living in Rural Vermont does have its advantages. Usually I can rack 50-100 miles or so on a motorcycle after a swap to see if it's worth keeping or not....Really no LEOs to give me grief... This ones a keeper for sure, so I just have to make the 40 mile trek to my closest DMV in big $hittty city of Rutland to officially transfer the registration. I swapped (plus was given a sizeable cash deposit) for my 100% legal VTX1800 for it. Once I get the plate/registration transfer cleared stop by my guys at Procycle in North Clarendon to get it inspected and boom 100% legal... Bike needs nothing so it won't be a chore... They may need to do a VIN check it though...
Dave, I've always wanted to make it out that way to ride with you guys... Unfortunately being able to do so has always been a challenge. With my position at work getting time off during the big events (Commencement and Reunion weeks) is an impossibility. Would love to go to a PNW meet... Maybe I should just fly out one of these days and just bum a bike
.
I agree though getting these bikes that's scream early 90's together would be awesome!
The bars look weird but the few guys that rides sport bikes that have rode this one loves them. Turned the bike from 50 mile blaster to an all day ride...I can't justify owning a motorcycle I can only put 100 miles on before I need to call it quits.Last edited by Jedz123; 06-28-2016, 06:16 AM.Comment

Well said Jedz,
When I started riding my "T" in New Mexico, the bar level was adequate in leisure riding and also allowed me to lean forward with elbows up! It gives more ways to sit on the bike as opposed to crouched position only.
Again, let me say how much I love your GIXXAH!!!

Cool bike, though I think an FZ6 is about 60 pounds lighter wet."Thought he, it is a wicked world in all meridians; I'll die a pagan."

I can't wait to finish the suspension swap on my 1150. Looking forward to higher old school superbike bars."Thought he, it is a wicked world in all meridians; I'll die a pagan."
