I rode a V Rod thingie for the first time a few weeks ago and my only comment when I got off was "That is the most insainly shite motorcycle I have ever ridden, but great fun"

Yes BW, I've got a "Hog".

It's a Dyna Sport Tourer (FXDXT) - and I love it.

Engine now 96ci (1550cc) so goes quite well!

I've done lots of rider training on it and had it out on BikeSafe. Great fun!

22k in two years and still looks like new.

Well four years ago I bought a new Yellow/silver 1200 Sportster from Bauer Millet in Manchester, then moved on to a 1340 Road King.....


Should never have sold them.....

Like the look of the V-rod, so what is it like to ride?

Mind you I like the look of the Trumpet Rocket 111.

Have I got no taste or are they worth considering as a commuting/fun bike for most seasons?

Clearly ice & snow are the exceptions here

I had two of that bikes predecessor, the Evo-engined FXRT. Did 52,000 miles on one, and 27,000 on the other, the pair of them cost me a grand total of £4000 in depreciation, over 12 years. Now that's cheap biking.

Bit different to the current ones, I enjoyed mine immensely.
