Its an RS model that's designed for the track. Track suspension, modes, etc....if it had clip ons, it would practically be a Daytona. The bars are low and forward which has you very leaned over. There's a good amount of weight on your wrists. The foot controls are back and very high up, which pushes you forward even more and has your legs bent up for cornering. The riding position is definitely aggressive, just not as extreme as sport bikes with clip ons. It's disingenuous to call this bike relaxed or comfortable when bikes in the cruiser, adv, and touring class are more accurately described as comfortable and relaxed. The problem is that some of the more popular channels feature youtubers that only ride sport bikes, and they're a lot smaller than i am. Im 6 foot tall, 250lbs. Even still, it boggles my mind how anyone can describe the riding position as anything other than aggressive

@@NicePantsLance My original point being aggressive vs extremely aggressive

Ah, fair. Maybe "extremely" aggressive was too much. I guess i should have just said aggressive

The description and the pinned comment both have the link to this video but without the music. Thank you for announcing your departure from nicepantslance airlines

I had them powder coated black! I made a 3 part series on the process if you're curious 👍

Thanks, I’ll check that out!

Out of all the random petty criticisms ive gotten over the years, this has got to be the best one 😂 so there's a "wrong part of the lane" now?! You better contact the entire Motorcycle Safety Foundation and tell them they're teaching people wrong! Since 99% of people on youtube ride like i do, you've got a lot of comments to make! Good luck to ya

Working on that currently 😁

It gets up to speed mighty quick!!! It doesn't help that im terribly out of shape lol

I actually have a 2-part video on Zero Electric motorcycles if you care to check it out! I took the SR/S out for a spin 👍

You're right, because those criteria i listed were my personal judgments. At this point in time, i had sold my only motorcycle and needed to find a new one. This video is part of a long series of test rides for me to find the next motorcycle to purchase. Whichever bike i bought, had to check off each criteria. I talk about it around the 1:50 mark With that being said, i probably would have bought the Challenger if i could afford it! 🤘 fantastic machine all-around

Yes it does 🤘thanks for watching

@@NicePantsLance Thank you.

The 2014-2015 F6C for me 👍

The reason i didn't mention it is because its a 1250cc sport cruiser. It's a high-revving engine, that makes under 100lb-ft of torque. It's certainly fast, but small displacement high-revving cruisers like the Ducati xDiavel, Honda Magna, and Yamaha Maxim aren't really muscle bikes in my opinion. Didnt make this list based on speed

@NicePantsLance Muscle cruiser = laid back cruiser position, acceleration, and top speed. How they do it doesn't really matter. Cruisers with a lot of low end torque and low horsepower aren't muscle cruisers but are just cruisers. You got to have the horsepower too to be in the muscle cruiser category in my opinion. The HD Vrod doesn't have the low end grunt, but as soon as it starts to rev it pulls like a freight train. The engineers at Suzuki did an awesome job with the M109R it's got the low end torque, and it's got the top end horsepower. Both of these bikes just do it in a different way.

The Maxim is so fast, i forget that its engine is half the size of the Valk! It put up a wicked fight anyway though 🤟 You gotta ride Steve's bike now 😉

Wow i didnt know that! Thanks for the info! 🤟

That's awesome! Im sure you got to see a lot of cool motorcycles in Japan 🤟 it may be ugly, but this bike is awesome! Thanks for watching

@@NicePantsLance yeah this was in the late 80's and there were lots of domestic market bikes that were NEVER seen or available anywhere else.
