V85 Street Bike ?

[Kev m]

I think they're going to have to dump the 750 and use the new mill in a V7IV.  The "Le Mans" that people are clamoring for in this thread will be the V7IV Cafe Racer. 

<snip>

I don't see a problem.  However, I am convinced the bike is going to dyno at 60-63hp.  It has to.  Physics is physics doncha know.     

Either way, it would be perfect homage to a LeMans - you know, claim XX hp, actually make a lot less.

So we seem to be back to bitching about hp figures.  All I care about there is that the bike has a nice bump in power over my V7iii that more than makes up for the extra weight.  Pretty sure it will do that.

Why was I worried???  Of course that motor will be strong enough to pull 2 people around all day!!   
*We went too many days without someone from either side of the horsepower argument piping up. 



I hear that if you ride in just swimming trunks,  it'll be good for another 5hp.  "Free-style" !

Nice idea, a V85TT with the looks of a Griso.

A kids drawing of a Griso?  I'd rather have a near copy of a LeMans, LeMans III or 850 T5

I'm starting to come around to the Ronald Mc Donald look...

I like the red frame, but not the bits around the triple cramps or tail section....too much!

Dude, I swear to gawd I feel like I'm following you around from thread to thread (and forum to forum) listening to your complaints:

* You don't like the matte paint on the V7
* You don't like the blacked out engine on the W800
* You don't like the fenders on the CX Sporty
* You don't like the red "bits .... "

jeez man....

Anyway, as usual I'll differ on this. The red frame (including the sub-frames at front and back) on this bike seem perfect to me!

As a matter of fact I kinda wonder what the red/white premium is gonna look like, I hope it has the red frame too.

Maybe something like this:

I doubt that there'd be anyone on this forum that says "I disagree" more than you do. For every opinion on which you differ, there is an equal and opposite force (opposing view).
So does it not follow that their view could be equally as valid, and therefore you could be open to similar critique..?

Look, I like OH, and I think he knows that.

That said, there's a HUGE difference in disagreeing philosophically on and debating how to handle X task or philosophically/morally with Y and just stating "I don't like". The latter is fine in moderation but quickly becomes boorish if overused.

There's PLENTY of bikes I don't like, and gear I don't like, and activities, and food and...

But I generally don't come onto threads about them and bitch about em (at least much, and not over and over).

I might occasionally lament that I would prefer one thing over another (say tubeless wheels on a certain model).

(And to be clear, although I'm giving OH shit in the last post, I do realize more or less that's all he's doing. It just seems that as of late he's doing it in about a half dozen or more threads here and elsewhere all at the same time, which is why it rose to the level of giving a bud a little shit).

N'est ce pas?

Actually, the black rims look drab. They need to be polished alloy with stainless spokes, like Norge ones...

[hauto]

Was wondering what it would look like in the red/white combo.Looks good except for the pink frame.

That's OK, if they build it, I'll want one to park next to my '77 Le Mans.

No prob. here. KevM & I probably agree on bikes more than we disagree. I’m just lookin’ & dreamin’ (it's winter) and when I see all I want (and none of I don't) I might, finally, pull the trigger, again.

Any one of the three in your garage would do it!
