False Neutral #8: Bikes We Love, Part 1

FN-Podcast-08
In this two-episode discussion of the bikes we love, we challenge each other to name our favorite bikes in a number of categories. This week, we discuss:

  1. The one bike each of us likes best out of those we’ve owned in the past.
  2. The one bike that we have not ridden that each of us is seriously interested in acquiring in the future, given prevailing prices and availability constraints.

Our answers might surprise you. We surprised each other at times.

And Please! — leave us a question, a note telling us what you like or don’t like about the podcast, or a suggestion of what topics you’d like to hear us discuss.

    Regarding the motorcycle intro/outro, I think the sounds are an inline twin, a inline four, a 2 stroke single, and a V twin?

      No, no, yes, no. There is an inline twin, but it’s not the first one you hear.

    I was trying to think of how I would answer the questions in the podcast. My favorite bike and the one I aspired to are one in the same. I have immense sellers remorse for getting rid of it as well. A bike that has the “hated” American v-twin and which Tashaonami won’t remember doing a snap judgement on its style.
    That was my Victory Vision Tour. The looks are really a love it or hate it thing but the bike was also really functional for long distances. It was just miserable at being that bike you would ride for ten miles.
    ABS, 4 speaker stereo, heated grips and dual heated seats were all part of the package. Add in that it looked like an art deco spaceship and I just loved the whole package.
    The one bike that I haven’t owned but could do it would be the V-Max. There is just something about the Arnold Schwarzenegger of motorcycles that appeals to me. It’s a big brute that hasn’t changed much since 1984. I’d probably lose my license on it but those few minutes would be great.
