Carbon_One Posted January 4, 2013 #8 Posted January 4, 2013 Welcome back Dan. Some day you'll see the light but till then just keep believing in those antiques. Larry

SilvrT Posted January 4, 2013 #12 Posted January 4, 2013 I looked because I figgured the answer would be trade it for a ... GoldWING !
chabicheka Posted January 4, 2013 #13 Posted January 4, 2013 That's considered 'DOWNGRADING' not upgrading.... You guys need to get off those trees and see how people live in houses these days.

bongobobny Posted January 4, 2013 #15 Posted January 4, 2013 Dan, you are right, but, the best creature feature for a 1st gen is TRADE IT IN FOR A 2ND GEN!!!
Skid Posted January 4, 2013 #16 Posted January 4, 2013 I've seen Dan looking at Second Gens, don't let him fool you.
Yammer Dan Posted January 5, 2013 Author #17 Posted January 5, 2013 Just thinking.... How many 2nd Genners looked hoping they could find a way to stay up with "Brown Sugar"..... 525 views.....
BradT Posted January 5, 2013 #18 Posted January 5, 2013 525 views..... First Gen owners trying to learn something Brad
KIC Posted January 5, 2013 #19 Posted January 5, 2013 There are two types of Motorcycle owners...those who have 1st Gens...and those who wish they had 1st Gens... Dan, maybe we should back off on teasing the 2nd Genners.... it's kinda like teasing the kids on the short bus.... P.S. Maybe we shoulda bought the 2nd Genners a sense of humor for CHRISTmas...

You went a little far with this I have several friends that their kids ride the short bus and they are some of the brightest kids I know they just happen to have challenges in their lives and to imply that they are mentally challenged goes too far. I do not believe that this comment was called for and it seems to me if you can not poke fun without lashing out at other groups outside of our you should not post at all.

You know Joe, you really need to get a sense of humor.. I'm starting to understand why Dan backed off from enjoying the fun here. Instead of taking things lightly and just having some light hearted fun, some seem to go to deep with jokes and get so easily offended. I would never tease, or make fun of kids. This is an adult community. A few light jabs all in fun shouldn't be taken so serious....Geez.. Yes I tease 2nd Gens.. I have two friends that have them. I ride with guys that have Hondas, Suzukis Beemers... we tease each other all the time about our bikes. Faster, cooler, louder, most comforts, it doesn't matter... it is all in fun.. Lighten up man...
XV1100SE Posted January 5, 2013 #24 Posted January 5, 2013 Don't need to it will break down soon enough and we can pass while you are trying to find parts, Did a search on specs.... best I could find are : 1984 XVZ 1200 (http://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/model/yamaha/yamaha_xvz1200td_l.htm) 97hp @7000 rpm (88.6hp @ rear tire) max torque - 10.4 kg-m @ 5000 rpm standing 1/4 mile - 12.6 sec / 165.0 km/h top speed - 198.7 km/h 2001/2012 XVZ 1300 (http://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/model/yamaha/yamaha_r.s.t%20venture%20s%2012.htm and http://motoprofi.com/motospecspictures/yamaha/xvz_1300_tf_royal_star_venture-2001.html and http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/bikereviews/searchresults/Bike-Reviews/Yamaha/Yamaha-XVZ1300A-Royal-Star-1996-2001-/ 95.00 HP (69.3 kW) at 6000 RPM max torque - 119.00 Nm (87.5 ft*lbs) at 4500 RPM, 111.8 Nm @ 3500 rpm standing 1/4 mile - 15.1 sec 0-100km/hr - 5.8 seconds (0-60mph 5.5 seconds) top speed 185 km/h Did another search and majority of the articles on 2nd Gens are for accessories, chrome, personalization. Same search on 1st Gens are "looking for parts", "worn out", "cracks". Granted from the specs that the 1st Gen was faster... but I've said it before and I'll say it again.... at least my bike was made in this millenium !!!!

Lighten up man... I have a fairly warped sense of humor but your comment touched a little too close to home, I don't mind the picking on each other but kids, parents and the military are off limits in my book. Lighthearted is fine but I think you get a little carried away at times, If you wold like to chat give me a shout probably should not have expressed my comments here too much of a downer.
