I live in the flat-lands of Illinois, so I have no problem with hills.

The only problem with the Shadow VLX is that it gives me no reason to let go of it. It's just right for the type of riding I do. It 100% paid for. It's basically everything I need, and nothing I don't. I'd like to get something else, but can't justify it.

And I just bolted on a few things to make my commute easier.



Maybe I'll keep the VLX and get a SV650...

Jae, ever think of starting out on a cruiser?
