Rode a Victory Cross Country this afternoon...

Why can't someone make a 200whp 2000cc twin cruiser with broad torque spread and water cooling QQ
 

From around 2010 Kawasaki changed their fairing on the 1400 GTR and incorporated vents to extract the heat away from the riders legs at even slow speed no engine heat reaches the rider on my 1400 GTR.
 
I knew someone was going to mention the not-a-cruiser diavel. Great bike, not a cruiser, but a great bike all the same.

The 270 one looks terrifying, turbos just asking to get drug in a right hander, the 203 setuplooks much more fun!!

Don't know , How would I,maybe you guys have never experienced what really hot is, try sitting in an old cabover truck working in 46degrees days, over 65 degrees in the cab and no Air conditioning ,having to wear leather gloves to hold the wheel and change gears to stop burning your hands, but us old blokes had some hard bark on us, no Sooks allowed just do your job or feck orf
all internal combustion engines generate heat and a reasonably hot motor is normal ,hot air rises in still air and how the heat is directed from the engine dictates if the rider is subjected to the hot air flow or not,
the GTR is not an ice making machine but neither is the Rocket even the legendary Carpenter modified ones

OK.... that's enough.... you're bragging now....




Just been kicking the idea of getting a Indian Roadmaster around in my head. Like if I would get another bike what would it be type deal. The Indians are following down the same road as the Harley.... from my interpretation of what I've been hearing from my fellow riding buddies. The bike isn't worth that type of money another words and anything like dealership maintenance, parts, merchandise is very expensive.

I realize the Roadmaster isn't any comparison far as power and torque like the Roadster but it has all the luxuries you could ask for.

Another words I could get different type bike with some of the luxuries and have better handling, power, torque and still have a wad of cash left in my pocket.
 

The Vic doesn't matter which one will not out do a rocket now running a Harley no problem there
I like my Vic which is a crossroads it is comfortable on long rides and so far no major problem
