What disappoints me most is the top speed of 70. Nowhere near fast enough for a 250.

I imagine thats fast enough around town style of driving.Originally posted by Cyrano View PostI kinda like the old timer looking one, but not the cafe racer. The proportions make it look like the mopeds from the '70s.

I agree... Understandably the 250 singles don't move like the 250 Twins however the TUX (and I'm sorry I go back to it but it does relate) will break 85mph flat out with correct tires, gearing and lying flat on the tank. However at speed... I trust the TUX with it's Nissin Brakes and very decent suspension over that. 70MPH is "fast enough" and allot of folks can and will claim that HOWEVER IMHO a bike should break 75mph for it then can go as fast as it needs to go in all road conditions (including interstate). Even my TUX is a slug for a 250. Most can break 100mph now.Originally posted by Cyrano View PostI kinda like the old timer looking one, but not the cafe racer.

Not suggesting you hang out with Harley people or any other group for that matter; although the Scientologists do look like a pretty fun time. But have you ridden a Harley? Got to spend a couple days on an FL a few years ago. Had a ball! Great fun.Originally posted by Eli69 View Postit could get crowded out on the front porch of the bar if these guys start to hang out at the same places as harley "riders".
in other words, another american bike that's mostly for looking at.
Certainly not a great value and was crazy porky, but did pretty much what they designed it to do.
Again, not looking to get you to change religions or anything. But only good to look at? Eh.

My god that is awesome!
I agree to that!!
I plan on borrowing my buddies Fat Bob for a few days this summer to try to change my "image" of a HD.
I borrowed my Brother in laws brand new Road Glide this past season and I couldn't get my Connie back quick enough... Slug, Slow, Pig, (ok ok Comfy)... Can't think of any other adjectives to describe the Road Glide. My Old-mans Stratoliner 1900 is a way better cruiser IMHO. The Transmission on the HD was... Crap.
