|  Other bikes w V-Max riding position?
The pics I've browsed of the V-Max apear to be standard (not typical cruiser) riding position. And ALMOST a bit sport position? Pics of the V-Max riders appear as though his feet are positioned more under him and not in front. The sportsters feel as though my knees are as high as my hips and the feet still a bit forward. Some of the standard bikes, sport-touring and sport bikes have a riding position upright with your pevis higher than your knees, and feet under you rather than in front of you. YET not all doubled up. Roomy and comfy, kinda like the KLR650. I ride an M50 now, previously owned a Vulcan 750, riden a Rebel 250, and 2 different styles of the VTX 1300. All of these cruisers put my feet in front of me. The further I ride, the more my knees flare open and the more hips start to hurt. I've been concidering rides like the V-Strom because it looks as though it would change that position. Then I noticed the V-Max riding position. The V-Max has TONS more power than I need. I am more than satisfied with my little 800. Though I wouldnt be opposed to riding a more powerful bike if I were comfortable. Are there any other cruisers with an upright riding position? (without legs forward) If it matters I have about 10k miles riding experience over the past 20 months. |
