Re: Cycle whore thread
Not sure what to say. It's the only true road bike I've ever ridden...
I've been riding ATVs/ATCs/Dirt bikes ever since I was about 4yo, but the Ruckus was the first street legal bike I've ever ridden.
That being said… It’s tamer than I expected. It still powerful as fuck (to me) but it doesn't surprise you. I had it in my head that, it looks like a supersport, it’s gonna be super aggressive. But, you know exactly what to expect and when to expect it power wise.
The suspension is better than that in my wife car. It’s super comfy but at the same time not squishy at all. It’s not race hard, like I think I’d prefer, but I think it’s still really well done.
It’s definitely a sport touring bike, which cool, because that’s what I needed. A small, lightweight, sporty, touring (commuter) bike.

I'm pretty astounded at how dry I am after the trip. My legs get a little wet, but that's about it.

Re: Cycle whore thread
Andrea Dovisioso (sp?) had a great test judging by final numbers, but I haven't read a lot on what he was working on. Think he was a great pick-up for Yamaha.
Do want.
