1100 Vtwin Shaftie

I wonder if we'll ever see this here
Cos - They look good

Might have to indulge in one :-)

My folks just returned from Europe & they saw one on the showroom floor.
Took some pics of the thing

Why? The diversion is a good package that is let down by it's styling...
the bulldog actually looks good. I'll reserve judgement about if it works
good though ;-)

D'oh, should have read "looks don't grab me".

They had one at last years Sydney Motorcycle Show, and the Yamaha man (who
used to be a salesman at a local dealer, so i know him a bit) said that to
his knowledge they'd be coming in late this year sometime.

They do look good, but comparatively gutless, its an 1100 Virago engine
basically. Still, it will appeal to some(it does to me)

Think of the chairs that you could pull with it -!!

Surely there is aftermarket/performance parts around for them as they've
been selling in Europe for the past year or so.

Shaftie :-)

With 50 HP I wouldn't wanna be bolting a chair to the side of it....

I like the looks but I'd be riding one before laying money down - as corks said
the reviews were pretty negative (although I recall reading the one he mentioned
where the exhaust "dug into the tarmac" and thinking "exactly what DID you
expect when you closed the throttle mid corner" you just upset what you already
knew was a soft suspension setup)
