I am an Avionics Gyro/rotor Specialist, and I have been a biker since I was 16 years old, I have owned 14 different bikes over the years started out on as 1971 Honda SL350 Motosport which I bought with money saved as a Paperboy! Over the years I have owned dirt bikes and assorted Street and Cruiser bikes, I would like to own the New VN2000 but the wife needed a new car so maybe down the road! My current bike a 96 VN800B Classic by Kawasaki has been a great ride, I love tinkering with it and changing its looks, I always change out parts for its appearance I got this bike by chance when I took a trip to a local town and read a want/sell ad I discovered the bike in an ad for sale with only 800 miles on it owner was desperate to sell I already owned a 86 Yamaha XV700CS Virago and was in no position to buy or sell but it happened that my work partner was interested in my old bike well I got more for my Virago then what I paid New so this was a no Brainer well end of story is I own the 800 Classic now going strong with all kinds of new parts and accessories on her it's a very nice bike!!
