I have a Honda shadow VT700 which is one of the safest most fun bikes I have ever ridden and a Yamaha race tuned R1 Dynamite limited edition with a tried top speed of 185mph which is one of the most uncomfortable bikes I have ridden and may kill me one day.

I always like the look of the VT700. Short little curved handlebars and the tank has quite an angle on it.

Wow that's fast. What speed have you gotten her up to?

I owned and rode my first bike to work in 1960 it was a Frances Barnett 198cc with a villiers engine..since then I have ridden so many I can't remember most of them..every time I buy the fastest production bike in the world someone brings out a different faster one..I have three bikes at the moment, I don't plan to ever buy another one.

John.

I'd love to have a bike like that just for fun. What other bikes do you own besides your Drifter?
