Ya goldwing is not a cruiser.

Hahaha. Back then I dunno how to use manual clutch so like 10 years after that baru boleh try. Now some use Binelli, easy bike to handle but problematic esp gearbox. The indicator says it's N but actually the gear is still engaged. Heard that it's not reliable gearbox. Some er6.

Testing licence tua tua gini a bit challenging really because majority of testee are around 17-20 ish. Tengok anak dara hidung merah merah pink lg bro alahai. Cobaan

Lol see edit above.

It's TN600 for me. Yes the bike's seat is quite high as I am a bit tip toeing but like every majority of sport/touring/naked bike is a PITA really for newbies or shorter people but they have to get over it as a required skill, even not stated in the syllabus. The bike's engine management is amazing though, it doesn't jerked or bogged down at all so I can do number 8 in gear one. Tried gear 2 but the power stepped up a bit so I fell of the bike hahaha.

Cruiser although lower but it tends to have longer wheel base which might pose a problem during tight turn maneuvers, the one after figure 8 test. I have yet to bring my vulcan to the test school to see how it performs but the tight turns really suits its name. If the feet is of the peg then bye bye points. My score sheet marks were deducted enough for a passing grade but not once during the maneuvers I lifted my feet of the pegs.

The added section for JPJ is mandatory test for pre start check so you are required to check the bike's controls, oil, fuel etc. It's like 13 items iinm. Quite easy to do but one or two parts may be missed because of nervousness and waiting blues.

I only once tried sitting on an SG 2016 at juru showroom. Very intimidating for a short person like me.

Huhuhu that thing can break ego in less than 3 seconds

That thing is very big. Street Glide is 180k a piece, even if I can buy that the size wuu cannot tahan. Cool is one thing tp seksa tu no money cn buy. By mistake i tried to stand the bike but directly twist the handle, my goodness it's heavy. You have to balance the bike first then twist the handle.

Well if you're pendek as in having less than 6' of height it is quite challenging. I talk to one person he say vrod is not quite balanced as in it is slightly heavier to the left so for long distance it might not get well but it's just one person opinion. I myself have considered either SG or Vrod back then into my wishlist but really having HD as first big bike is too overkill on the learning curve and ofc financially wasn't that rock solid replying on side income which's just 4 digits. I'd rather invest in properties and glad that I bought cheaper bike because I have very few time to ride it really.

Well, after like more than 3k km riding my Vulcan S:

1. Reached speed 170kmh without a windshield but really it's not comfortable at that speed.

2. can go like 250km with a full tank of 8+ worth of petrol but highly recommend to fill up around 200km mark.

3. With custom exhaust on and LS2 FF370 helmet XXL size you need a good earplug.

4. It can lean but I wont dare more as this thing is a cruiser.

5. Have yet to enter service but I already have a Motul 7100 fully syn in mind. So too the cost to renew the bike's insurance not until September I will know. Estimated around RM700. (please correct me if i'm wrong)

This im not sure since I hardly pay attention to rpm meter, prolly around 4k. The road is busy nowadays can't really pay attention to the numbers and I'd rather enjoy the scenery cruising.

It's close to 5k rpm in 6th. Well, I have yet to test this myself but it's kinda dangerous thing to do. I dont even have a dashcam.

Back then really interested in harley but when I sit on one, that SG, tip toeing. Not suitable for my height. Asked a brother who rode a 48, he said bergetar nasib baik tak mandul.

It's Ampang Hoong Motor AHM single barrel. Pic here is not my bike but it's the same thing.

I have this quite an interest in Vulcan 900 custom but when people say it got only 5 gears and yearning for an upshift when cruising. Haiz. Followed an SG 103 durin a trip to Terengganu Bike week, the torque wah so jealous.

The wind resistance and the noise was unbearable at 170kmh that my helmet produced vibration at a certain frequency. The riding position is not suitable to go up to that speed but yes there's still some throttle left unwinded at 170kmh so maybe 190kmh or the extra tick is possible. I only stayed like 1 second or so and missed the rpm reading. Words has it that Vulcan S engine originated from Ninja sportbike which is capable of 200kmh.

Cruising is around 90-110kmh.

No time for that, I'd rather enjoy the scenery or keep watch since too many variables on the road. Some retards signaled left but turned right, forgot to switch of the signal, malfunctiomed brake lamp, brake first then signal or never signal at all just turn like nobody's business. It'll take only one mistake to ruin a good year. The only thing to keep watch is the gas/fuel level.

Already passed la bro

Btw, Yamaha Stryker looks awesome really. Liquid cooled too. V twin air cooled is cruiser really but lotsa people I found commented on the casual rise of hot air especially when you stop.

Last time went to wash the bike and talked to pomen there he said Vulcan S is quite unusual bike really, looks like a cruiser but behave not like it. Engine power, lean angle is not like cruiser at all. Harley 103 without mod cannot do the speed like Vulcan S does and so the lean angle an HD would be scrapping the engine really. It's not a cruiser bike but a sportbike hiding behind a cruiser looks.

People when it comes to cruiser thing, the american seems to dominate the description for it hence you will see HD, Indian and stuff. Xdiavel is a modern take on cruiser but with Ducati behind it, it's wild as ever and being labelled wannabees by cruiser hardcore.

Feet forward, vtwin aircooled. Cruiser

Hmm yea that sounds better.

Prolly thru AP. Honda already have dual sport and naked in the same class.
