    looking for a new bike

    I just sold my 05cbr1000, and was looking for somthing differnt. I have my eye on a 94-04 honda magna. Not the most common bike, but there are some around. I want to get a cruiser style, but I dont like the v-twin, do you guys know of any other cruiser to use a v-four motor

    Valkyries are bad little rides, not quite the v-4 you are looking for though. And there is a trick supercharger set up for the valkyrie also. A buddy of mine has 2 valks, the first has all kinds of trick stuff done to it and the second one he converted into a trike with an aftermarket kit. He even made his own exhaust for his first valk and the darn thing almost sounds like a formula one racer. It has a car rear tire on it too!

    I had been wanting a vtx for the last few years, but I seem to have changed my mind. I cant get away from the v-four, plus I hear these magnas are no slouch when it comes to keeping up, and passing those large v-twins

    I've owned two, and am gonna try like hell to get my hands on a new one, missed out on the '09s Supposedly the new ones will stretch your arms an inch or two at the first crack of the throttle

    85 250sx
    89 quadrunner 230

    Always open to trade the Sx for an X, I know, not likely, but I figured I'd put it out there.

    How about the VF1000 or one of the VFRs. Not exactly cruisers, I know, but I am with you on the V-fours. The big torque and great sounding motors are the best. I had my 87 VFR 700f for 14 years and loved every minute.

    When I get another street bike it will be a ST1000-1300. I have never ridden one, but I can't imagine they are lacking in torque or comfort.
