Yes I know what you mean, I was never a fan of the old opposing cylinder bikes. Mine is their version of a sport touring bike. You can get the plastic saddle bags but I dont have them. Its just a high tech rocket. 169 HP, 0-60 in 3.2 seconds, you can go 100 and drink a cup of coffee and be comfortable. It has cruise control, heated grips, heated seats, electronic suspension control, ABS kevlar breaks.
I ride a rice grinder these days. A Honda VFR 800 V-Tech. A gentelman's sport bike.
My first and last Harley was in 1966. it was (mostly) a 1953 80 cube. It had an overly long extension with a spoolie up front. Wouldnt corner worth a ding dong, was stable at high speed but took a freighters amount of time to slow down.
Seeing as I always wear a full face helmet, it'd be tough to drink anything on any bike for me. Had my face and butt saved many a time by a full hat. I won't wear anything else.
For illustration purposes only...I also wear a full face..Arai of course. I just love how fast and smooth it rides. I get off after 12 hours of riding twisties and chuckle at my buddies on their Jap bikes who are just crippled.
One has to wonder if everything ETB does is fast. And just to date myself, the last scooter I had was a Norton. I kept the '70 Triumph GT6 I had when I moved on the boat, but don't drive, as it doesn't fit in the dinghy.
As to skirts, the way you dance around ETB, you must wear a tutu.
