Hey guys,
I'm looking at bumping up my commute from 70 mi per day to possibly 90-100mi (50mi each way). I've had my V7II for about a year and half now and it has been great for my current ride to and from work.
Areas that could be improved:
- Wind resistance (at higher speeds)
- Seating Position (depends on the day)
Other than that the bike has been great. Very reliable and lane splits with ease (basically my whole commute is splitting lanes)
Looking at the V9, I think I'm one of the few who likes the new seat design:
It looks like lowering the rear shocks just a bit might give the bike enough of a rake to block more of the wind and the solo seat looks like it could provide a little more relaxed riding position (probably different bars too). I would probably be looking more towards the Roamer, but switch to the newer style bobber seat. What do you guys think?
