Who rides motorcycles?

That came in the later years I quit working for Yamaha in 1987. But I believe all the Japanese manufacturers made a big comfy recliner type scooter. They're probably the funnest thing to ride but the worst thing to be seen riding on.

I "wish" Someone would manufacture a Scooter with the the "looks" and all the good aspects of a Vespa P200e, but with a engine more in line with good 500 cc twin cylinder. An honest 25 HP would do. NOT a Berger-mister! ;-)

I seem to have an oposite opinion of the Pacific Coast. I had a lady friend that road one in numerous Iron Butt rallies, and faired very well in doing so. Never had a DNF.

Although you might consider me a Harley fan, having owned a number of Harley's as well as GoldWings, I did develop a high respect for her 'little' PC.

I was a happy PC800 owner for 4 years. Replaced with a GL1800.

Anytime I think my engines are working hard for their oil changes (not), I'll remind myself of this video.

Like them or not, I respect just the fact that Honda will actually put things into production, that many other factories would only do as a design proto, at best. I was seriously considering a PC a few years back, until I saw that the load capacity was no better (a common problem) than what I had already on my 500.

DN (?)..... of theirs.... (can't remember the full model designation)..... reading one report, of a guy out for a test-review run, came out of a coffee shop to find some HD (probable patch) riders standing around his ride... they were fascinated by it.

It's all 2 Wheels in The Wind.... enjoy....

Given the lifting-effort (those guys are probably stronger than you'd think), I'd suspect not... but I've never been around standing balsa....
