Those are fun. It's a Sportster that turns! If the mapping isn't to your liking. There's fueler like the JD made by Patriot. Enjoy.
I had one of those in fast orange. It was still heavy, cramped and slow. Traded it even for a new Husky TR650 Strada. I guess I liked my 87' better that came in 100# lighter.
I knew it was heavy and slow but so am I As for being cramped there are so many options to customize the ergos. I will probably get 1" drop pegs an 1" thicker seat over the winter. When I sit on it I am reminded of the dirt bikes I rode as a kid, just makes me smile!
That's the only HD I've wanted. They stopped making them though right? Some simple mods like you said and I'm sure it'll be about perfect.
Me too. I saw one on a trailer at the Desert 100 and have wanted one ever since. 2012 was last year in production I think. They weren't a big seller, good bike but a small market. I have read a bunch about them and nearly everyone who owns one loves it and everyone who sold one wishes they still had it. There are better cafe bikes, canyon bikes, commuter bikes....but this one does most of those things reasonably well.
Oh yeah, already got some good noob info. Also joined xlforum as hey have an amazing amount of good stuff too.
nice pick up...the styling is sharp on those. kinda takes you back to when harley meant something other than a couch to most people. actually looked at one before i bought my zrx
I look like a circus bear on a tricycle in this pic but the bike fits me. I've ridden the cruisers and don't like the ergo's. I don't want a car with 2 wheels, (gold wing), I always wanted an FJ Yamaha. Lately they too have become bloated touring bikes and I don't want one of those either. I don't ride hard anymore, have no interest in dragging the pegs, I just wanted to get back to street riding after 15 years. TO be honest the 550 lbs had me nervous but I don't notice it. The stories of vibration had me nervouse but I don't notice that either. The horrible shocks and bad forks, those I notice. I really like the styling on the zrx, cool bikes.
i dont think you look that big on it, youre just a big dude. another bike aint gonna help that. you look great on it. heres my mean machine..the zrx doesnt weigh much less than yours stock but i have shaved about 40 lbs off it. the exhausts on them a boat anchors
