I read about it in the August issue of Cycle World. Dave Edwards loves the bike.

Here is a link to their web article and some photos.

From those pics the Versy looks just like a Ninja without the lower fairing and an ugly headlight.

Thanks for the link FM. I have yet to read anything bad about the bike -all of the journalistsrave aboutit. When my dealer gets one, I'm going to try to take one for a test ride.

I personally would rather a sport bike, since you look like your trying to get there anyway with that one. I know this is going to get me **** but I really like the CBR's by the "red" guys. I took a long trip down the highway with a 1000cc (way too much bike imo) and it was quite comfortable to say the least. I always thought a sport bike would be a backache but it was suprisingly ok.
I love my CBR600RR. It is the best handling bike I ever had.

That being said, not only isn't it as versatile as the Versys but it really is a completely different kind of bike.

It really is a beautiful piece of machinery. I'm torn between one of them or a Fat Boy. Well not really torn, I do want a fat boy, but only if the price is right.

Definitely get the sport bike for now. You can get the Hardley Ableson when you are old and fat. [sm=exactly.gif]

ahhhh yeah. It puts me in a predicament for sure. Too fat for a sport bike, too young for a HD. I guess thats a wakeup call to do something about it, I've gotta get OLDER

Nah I'd get the sportbike before that. The HD comes from when I was 11 years old and I saw Terminator 2 for the first time. I thought the governator was the coolest thing ever on that bike and ever since I've wanted one. Maybe I should look for a 91 fat boy

but back to the versys. its a nice bike, just wouldnt be my style.

That movie was freakin awesome. Arnold look looked like one mean **** in that flick.

It's funny you mention that movie because that was right before the Yuppie Wannabe explosion of the Harley craze and the Fat Boy was brand new. It looked totally awesome with Aronld on it. It looked like one bad bike. I think Arnold sold a ton of Fat Boys along with those sunglasses that he wore in the movie.

+1 on that. T2 could have changed the course of time for HD
