Speaking of fairings...Studied up on the 2009 Kawasaki Voyager today. Appears to be a competent bike, thats all. But I do think they did a good job with the fairing..its frame mounted but remains high up and close in like the Electra Glides.

One of the dealers in Des Moines put together a few V-rods with the Road Glide fairing, bags and floor boards. It sounded like a bad idea. The bike really looked great in person and when I sat on it I was really impressed.

is this the official kick off to the rumor mill getting the **** turned to the right to number eleven? every year, they dangle the newest and best piece of cheese in front of us, and we sit here like mice, and with the 2010's coming out, the 09's are gonna be obsolete, as when the 09's came out, hey man, you gotta trade your 08 in, the o9's are way cooler. every g'damm year. . . as long as whatever they come out with doesn't look like george jetsons new ride, the victory vision. now that's an ugly spaceship.
