RE: Road test results

["Rick Damiani" <rickd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This Sprint of mine is the fourth new bike I have ever owned. My first (an
'83 GS450L) was selected hastily as a stepping-stone to a larger bike. My
second, after heavy consideration, looking at many different bikes, reading
everything I could lay my hands on and really thinking about it for a long
time was an '86 Yamaha Radian - the Cycle World pick for best 600cc
motorcycle for 1986 - it's first year of production. I kept that bike for
several years, toured up and down the east coast with it, and rode it day
after day as my primary transportation for several years. Never did I have
even a single speck of trouble with it.

After being away from motorcycles for a while (six years) I once again
hastily selected a stepping-stone bike that would lead me to better things
and bought a '97 Magna. Careful consideration this time around pointed to
another bike in it's first year of production *and* winner of Cycle World's
best-of-class honors. I ride it day after day as my primary transportation.
After 3 months and 12,000 miles, I have not had any trouble with it.

I sense a pattern here....

Anyway, whether you're still considering a new bike or just need
confirmation that you've already got the best - the winner comes, in red
or black, from Hinckley.

I knew that.  :-)


P.S. In fact it was a red one...

Wow.  I guess now I'm surprised they picked it.  ;-)
