Hey everyone,

Second season riding, and I had my eye on the beautiful black machine since the day I got my endorsement, but couldn't justify $12K for an activity I wasn't even sure I would get into. Well, long story short, I'm hooked. So I traded up my 2007 VN900C for a new 2011 Raven for $9999. Great trade-in offer as well, so I'm all smiles for only financing about $6K with the 3.4% Yamaha offer 8)

Map pinned, learning a ton from other new owners - great forum!

Far, far, up north, right next to the Canadian border. I highly doubt that we will meet up on the road, but I do take rides downstate for fun so you never know. LOL!!

Welcome from So. Cal. Now that you got the perfect bike, you will find all sorts of things to change on it... LOL... Great bike.. great forum... Have fun.. start modding...

 

[lowlead]

Thanks again all 8)

I dunno, since it's a near perfect bike for me, there's not all that much I want to change - ha! Maybe a few little bits I have in mind: forward controls, better seat perhaps, and an air kit like the L.A. Choppers x X x I'm in the camp that actually likes the look of the stock pipes.

Either way, I'm stoked that there's a production bike that I really dig as is. Ride safe everyone.

Lowlead, I'm with man! I love the stock look! I kept my 87 Honda Super Magna stock the whole time that I owned it and as time went on I loved it even more. I may in the future put some pipes, fuel controller, and intake but that won't be for a while. Wife and I went for an 80 mile ride tonite and it even rides better with two people! LOVE THIS BIKE!
