It wasn't the color....

[AzDaven]

Hey guys, so I first chimed in the forums about two months ago. I just picked up a 2009 Suzuki Blvd. C 50. I told you all the color was purple and I was not real fond of it. I got a lot of great feedback and I am happy to say there's a whole new set of wheels in the garage. Many many circumstances surrounded this decision, but I am happier than I can explain to tell you that instead of having a Suzuki in the garage I now have a 2009 Harley-Davidson V Rod Black trike in my garage. I ended up selling the purple Suzuki for a slight profit and I got to tell you it's like going from a four cylinder to a sports car V8. I don't know how to post pictures but if somebody can let me know I will email you pictures and you can attach them here. I will post a picture of both the old trike and the new Harley. Right now the trike is just a black color, and I'm going to get orange pinstriped because orange is my favorite color and I'm not going to go overboard with the pinstriping either. For any of you Harley V-rod trike owners these are amazing machines. If you only on another trike that's Harley I'm glad to join your club.

Congrats on the V-Rod! I think if I were to do another trike, it would be a V-Rod, with an FLTR fairing on the front. The ultimate Harley power trike!

Yeah, I don't know about purple either....

Thanks very much for the comments. I sent a picture of both my old trike and my new try to one of the members. The old trike had a Lehman conversion. The new trike has a Motor Trike conversion. The real big seller for me was the seat. The old trike had a backrest for the driver and then the little bubble trunk for the passenger. My wife found it very uncomfortable and told me she would not ride with me. The new trike is much better. In the seat. The seat is actually gel cushion so it is extremely comfortable. I imagine I could do a good full-day ride on this thing. The other big seller for me was the airbags to stiffen up or loosen up the suspension. Motor-Trike has my vote seven days to Sunday. I just love riding it. the biggest mental challenge for me was realizing that I was sitting on top of the gas tank and I could not refill while I was sitting down, I'm lazy like that . Where everybody else gas tank is I just have a dummy cover over the air cleaner stuff. I also love that my engine was designed by Porsche. I can actually say (to an extent) that I have a Harley and a Porsche in my garage LOL

AzDaven, great to hear about your V-Rod Trike, I almost bought a V-Rod to have it triked before I found my '11 Tri Glide. My TG is black and I also am getting it pinstriped, except for 1 one small treatment I'm letting the striper run wild with it.
You need to use some purple pin-stripping on your VRT :wave4:
