Nice ride!!! I say GET IT! You only live once. BUT....do not and I repeat do not give up mtb!!! I have seen it happen and it's not pretty 
aww...no no no. Not gonna give up on the MTBs. That will NEVER happen. I mostly want to get it for short trips and such. Times when it's just plain dumb to take the truck out of the garage at 15.4mpg.TreeSaw said:

I'd take the bike and get 40mpg
I'd need something a little more fit for the highway if I end of getting part-time work downtown. I was looking @ Kawasaki KLR 650s and BMW 650 GSs, but decided I wanted something that would be more comfortable on a slightly longer trip. Who knows, I may even want to go out to Colorado on the bike some time.RhinofromWA said:
Cool. What do you have for a dirtbike? The two bikes you mentioned are pigs but have the displacement.Bonk said:
That is still a cramped seated position too....regardless of where they mount the handlbars. 
For dirtbikes I've got a Honda and a Penton KTM 125.RhinofromWA said:Cool. What do you have for a dirtbike? The two bikes you mentioned are pigs but have the displacement.
PS - getting that Honda with no windshield or fairing is going to make extended road trips pretty sh!tty also.
I would opt for a midsized (750-800ish) cruiser. Lots of freeway power, lighter for around town. Windshild and saddle bags and you are all set. The larger cruisers are heavy but the midsized cruisers are decent....better for around town stuff.
My mothers Suz Intruder 750 was a blast. A big windsheild and saddlebags and you could ride all day......My parents even have ridden to Sturgis (from WA state) multiple times.
one of them new "penton" KTM's (the 125 or 200 with the blue plastic made a few years ago) or the old original Penton 125'sBonk said:
That is cool I can't see myself spending much time on a crotch rocket either....which is what that is btwI'm just got really a cruizer/hog type person. The 919 barely had any vibration, and has you sitting far more upright than a full on street bike. Also, I don't think you're really going to be finding a bike as light as it is. It's dry weight is 427 lbs. I'm only 5'9", so it really didn't feel cramped to me. You can get an aftermarket windshield for the bike, so that is not a worry. As for carting stuff around. I've got my Timbuktu bag.
Most new cruisers dont' vibrate much anyway...Harleys with out counter balancers shake....my fathers 2000 Harley has a counter balancer in it and it barely shakes/vibrates.
Nice bike. 
Do you race it at vintage races? Or is it just for show?
I know it's a crotch rocket still. Just doesn't really look like one, and you don't have to lay down to ride it. I hate all out cratch rackets. They just look silly. I like the naked look and also the fact that with them the cops never usually look at you. You might asRhinofromWA said:Ohhhhhh SWEET! I didn't see teh pic when I responded.
