Shame to see performance parts being used for show.

i'm looking for an Ohlins equipped bike right now, Tuono Factory, Monster 1100s. not for track use but commuting, i rode a 00.5 aprilia RSVR way back, and that was the best (most compliant) suspended bike i ever rode, so i want 1 for the street.

I can appreciate that. I could ride a rigid on the street and be fine with it.

Different strokes.

Still, IMO there is less "wrong" with riding a factory equipped bike like a poser than that SV.

If you are going to try and turn a budget sportish-cruiser into superbike by tossing parts equal to or greater than bike's value at it, you damn sure better well ride it.

Or give the parts to me and I'll ride it
