Well this is it; money day. I have in my coffers the funds to purchase the Wolf. I know it is not a Goose, but it is at least a bike and an animal! I am still uncertain that I will as I have never seen one in the flesh. (That is because buying a motor vehicle is far less easily done when one does not already own a motor vehicle.) I retain the right to say no, and continue my quest if anything vibes me wrongly. A friend of mine; another biker sort of Aspie who is eyeing a Triumph Rocket III, should be here in a week or two and we plan a run to Prescott to the Guzzi shop where SYM is sold. Target in sight.
Wait, I can't buy a motorcycle at Target!

I really hope you buy the Wolf, in part because I am eager to hear your reports about it.
As I said, I was blown away by the similar model sold in Taiwan. Deep lust.
Good luck whatever you decide, and enjoy the anticipation!

Hell, I thought this was another "Flying Fortress" thread.
Comes a sheep in wolf's clothing.
Have tons of fun and let us know how you like it.

We sold a few at the shops I worked at, set them up & road them. Nice bike, bout like a Honda CB 125. Nice little cafe bike.
-
What a lovely motorcycle! How about a break-in ride from Prescott to Jerome? Best wishes for a great riding experience with your SYM Wolf.

Ahh anticipation can be delicious. :smiley:

This Wolf has come up in a couple-three threads.
Which wolf is it? They're all kinda cool but that "Classic" is really sweet.
Todd.

Looks like I have a few answers to give:
1. In general: thanks to all for the good wishes
2. Cruzziguzzi:
Thanks for info
Is the Classic 150. . .
.. . which is a direct lineal descendant of the CB 125
Yup, sheep in wolf's clothing
3. ohiorider:
Yes, indeed Prescott to Jerome is en route my digs in Cornville. It should be a great ride, even at the 40MPH break in speed!

So, this?:

Cruzziguzzi:
That's it!
It is kinda like the gosling there, and is that little red Italian bike not a feast for the eyes?
K250: Thanks! I hope that I like IRL!

I can't imagine you not liking it. Might get a little wheezy were you to take it spiritedly up to Flag but but I bet it'd be fun up 89A and then those rockin' Forest Service roads up there.
I have near monthly fantasies about turning my XR200RR into a road bike just for the hey of a toss around fun bike.

Either. Both! John's bike!

These critters aren't very huggable. If you sit still they might sneak up and sniff the back of your neck. You can hug a lemans or a tiger or me take your pick!

Okay, hugs to all but the wolf. I will wait to hug mine.

One of the smartest dogs I knew was a tiny coyote/mutt cross - that dog was so clever you could argue politics with him.

That was like my coydog. Smart enough that I rarely tell tales of her, people think I am lying.

This GoPro video is going the wrong direction, but thought you might enjoy seeing this accelerated video of that lovely road from Jerome to Prescott. Found this on YouTube.

Pretty soon that will me by stomping ground again. So many memories along that road. Thank you for the flick!
