Late to the Forum, cause I was out riding. I can attest Vesper and I have had a great season together. Went over 6300 miles a week or so ago. And now the weather is cooling down dramatically in the Queen City. Not sure many more days riding will be had. Tidbit about me. Rode a '02 Triumph Daytona 955i--Sylvanna. Picked her up in '04. We had a lot of fun too. Street racing, no track days. Yeah I'm a little nuts still. Oddly enough, it just never felt right. Loved the hair raising torque and speed she produced. Though I was always a bit uncomfortable. That issue has been resolved with Vesper. The saddle time, ease of riding long days and miles is many times better than Sylvanna could ever provide. A friend bought Sylvanna, and he loves to ride hard and fast, so they're happy. He's a good friend, let's me borrow her from time to time. No mods for Vesper thus far. Was thinking of powder coating the springs the same dark green as the tank? I'll probably lean on upgrading the suspension first, and LED lights all around, possible saddle bag(s)---cabin in the woods to visit.
Purchasing Vesper was a decision made b/c I was determined to get riding again. Syl had become to uncomfortable and I'd lost the desire for sport bikes. I'd been shopping for a good 6 months before I bought Vesper. I knew I needed to step down in horsepower(bit surprising at first), more commute friendly, good for an urban living, and had great lines and styling. She has all of that and more. Saddle is good for those two up times. Plenty of range mileage wise. Enough power, though that first ton up was elusive. Can flick her around pretty well....the sport bike crowd says I lean her to far over....only clipped pegs twice? Absolute great season, wouldn't trade it! A couple pics from around the Queen City. N.Ky looking into Cincinnati in the first. The second is from the park where the old WKRP in Cincinnati TV Show backdrop was shot.
Is it cheating on Vesper if I'm looking at buying a '13 Stelvio 1200 NTX?
Take care---Roose
