Here's my very first bike . A 1993 Yama 535 Virago... Rode this bike all the way from south Florida to Georgia and back without a problem.. Was proud to be pulling 42 hp 😆... specs claim the virago was capable of doing 100 , but I think I was cruising at 70 with a smile back then. 😎

My 1st bike was a Kawasaki KE100 Street and Trail. Second bike was a Yamaha Virago 750 with a factory full dress touring package, Rode all over to include the autobahns of Germany.

Oh yeah!, All viragos were good bikes but difficult to customize, i think, has aux gas tank under the seat, like ours!.
Here my first; a four speed shadow 600 vlx -I didn,t Know🙄-, after doing some crazy things..

Wow, awesome.
I luv my stryker. Just got it legal on Monday and been doing some maintenance on it. Just flushed the radiator. Not hard at all. With the power commander V this thing hauls . 😎... Been riding my magna also and there's not much comparison. Both bikes can put 2 zeros behind a one ( 100 mph 😆, but the torque on the stryker is more than any bike I've owned. -- ( Vrod , rocket 3 , fatbob 114 ) .

The magna's motor was "fantabulous", also the stryker's
in different way, but In that Wild bunch It's clear what is the queen of torque

And It's not our...🚀!

If that little rocket 🚀 is symbol for triumph rocket 3 , well yeah . I had a rocket 3 in 2020 . 163 ft lbs of torque at 4000 rpm and 165 hp. Of course the rocket is a 2500 cc engine. 2.6 liter, more than some cars 😆, and weighing in at 670 lbs wet , it's definitely not a light weight. Also, I paid almost 24000 for mine with the detachable saddle bags and it was the gt model. So , for less than 5 grand I picked up my stryker, with 82 torque, and with the mods on it, I'm sure that's not accurate. Don't get me wrong, the rocket is a beast and I loved it, but just like all the women in my life, it's a high maintenance item 😆 ... 😎 ... here's to life in the fast lane.

Yeah, and 147lbf at...2500!!, That is unbeatable, sure the BossHoss but that was grotesque..., Anyway is not my way, I'm planning to chopperize the stryker, go figure..🔧.
