    Well... as I recall ... it was about a month ago ... now, if the cop had not been nice to me ... I would have gotten a ticket for doing 140 in an 80 zone (kilometers that is) ... as it was, he slapped me with a $170 fine and wrote me up for a much slower speed.

    I'm considering installing an AIR SPEED indicator coz this RSMV is SO FAST!

    Nope... I'm 5' 10 1/2" and weigh all of 153lbs stark naked and soakin wet (now ain't that a picture!) However, I'm a "wiry sob" and like I've said earlier, I really don't have any problems handling this 2nd gen... in fact, I found both my 1st gen's harder to handle (at low speeds) but both the 1st gens handled the twisties better than my 2nd gen. What I have found is that if the tire pressure is too low, it is diffucult to handle at the low speeds.

    My sentiments exactly although, I can't say I've ridden any BMW's or crotch rockets for accurate comparison but all the scoots I have owned (except my 1st gens) never handled/cornered any better than my RSMV. I really don't find it to be all that difficult to handle so I chalk that up to familiarity with the bike and rider skill and/or ability (little pat on the back here LOL) .. I say "ability" because some folk are not in all the best physical condition which could affect their ability to handle these beasts. Having said that tho, I do believe I will be trying the 130 front tire once mine has worn out. Am very interested to see what everyone is raving about. btw.... welcome aboard ... hope you thoroughly enjoy your new scoot!

    so what you're really saying is you're a Cherry and you ride a Midnight Venture....??? Now as for your second statement, I'm just not gonna touch that one!
  13. SilvrT
    then it must be REALLY FAST!!! :rasberry:
  14. SilvrT
    DITTO that ... it's a proven FACT that BLACK slides thru the air MUCH EASIER than any other color and any shade of RED especially has the highest drag coefficient, causing anything painted that color to be MUCH slower! :witch_brew: (Black Cherry is actually a shade of RED, not black)

    Now, that's what I was thinking.... until I read your post!!! geeeesh ... I better plant another money tree coz the one I got has been picked clean (almost). I like the headlight mod!

    I used to have the same problem with my '85 the first time I started it after winter storage. I just kept squirting some gas down the intake...a little at a time...until it eventually would respond to the throttle. Make sure the choke is fully on and don't try to crank the throttle for a while...just let it idle on it's own. Another thing is to ensure the battery is fully charged.

    I will definately contribute! Like a lot of you, I want to "get him" (the mustang driver) ... but I'm a firm believer in "what goes around, comes around" and if we don't "get him", he will, eventually, get his just rewards. The frightening part is that someone else may have to suffer before that happens.

    all things you've described sound pretty normal to me for a MK1 1st gen. I had an '85, then an '87 ... sounds about the same.
  22. SilvrT
    VERY NICE!! I am envious... I rode a Strat ... I think it was an "S" at Yamaha Star Days a couple years ago ... really liked it and the POWER!! whhooooooooooooo MAN!

    Although our temps are still 2-3 degrees (celcius) below normal, I doubt we'll see snow around here again until next winter although once away from the "lower mainland" area, there's still a lot of snow in the mountain passes. Sunday is forecast for sun and highs of 10 celcius.... guess what I'll be doing??? (hint... starts with "R", ends in "E" and has an "I" and a "D" in the middle)

    I could give you the phone number of my last girlfriend..... (a bag that liked touring) :rotf:
