At this point we really need to be stretching swingarms to the point that we need highly-engineered cantilever/suspension technology with shaft drives or gear assemblies of some kind. If your swingarm is short enough that a chain is still a viable drive option, you aren't doing it right.

Also throw some duallies or a cement mixer wheel on the back FTLOG.

Electric hub motors will allow swingarms that stretch to the horizon.

That bike is aimed squarely at the aging baby boomer market, and its hitting its mark. I see a ton of them around here, granted I'm in MKE, land of the Harley, but my dad actually picked up a 2014 HD trike because he no longer felt confident he could get his softail off the ground if it ever tipped over.

That bike taught me that I have no idea how to ride trikes. I was leaning all over like an idiot and absolutely not getting that I needed to actually turn the bars despite my brain yelling "TURN TURN" as loud as it could.

Would look better with a light colour (orange, yellow, white) on black.

Might be in for one too if that was the case.

EDIT: could also do with a little tweak to the spacing too (dare I say a better font?).

Don't tell a VFR fan this but....the VFR is fat and a little bit underpowered in the current market. Just because it's a "sport" tourer doesn't make it fast. Even the big ADV bikes like the R1200GSW and KTM1190 that have off road pretensions are about the same weight, more powerful, and handle better. Then there are the totally road based "Adventure" bikes that will run circles around the VFR. But since this is a picture thread:


VFR.jpg


I just bought a 98VFR with an HRC 900 kit in it.
Supposedly it makes 143hp.
I guess we'll find out...

I'll post it up here soonish
