  • A barstool that will do 100 mph?

    This, I think, is beyond insane. If you want to commit suicide, at least do not make this much of a mess....

    Hi Patrick,
    perhaps you over-react? The vehicle is only an extreme example of what we see in our own XS & XJ 11s.
    A machine that runs out of handling before it runs out of power.

      Point taken, Fred. But, unlike our bikes, this thing runs out of handling before it runs out of first gear.....

      I've seen these things before, but usually with far less power than a 550-cc two stroke motor. Geez....

      Of course, I doubt a sober person has ever piloted one.

            Hello Comrade,
            I disagree, It's a 2 stroke Kawasaki.

              My XS handles very well. I have seen these type of statements quite often. Seems that some people either don't have the suspension dialed in correctly or just need to learn how to ride their XS.

                It's not the XS they need to learn to ride, It's the BS.

                Have a nice day!

                  Oh really... then why is the listing titled Bar Stool suzuki 550 - $1100 (Harker Heights). And if you knew anything about motorcycles, if it was a 2 stroke it would have an expansion chamber on the exhaust.

                      Hardtails aren't cool, that's why they were slowly phased out over the years of motorcycle production... if you knew how to read you'd know that...

                          It is so annoying to see something posted for humor, turn into people jumping each others arse and arguing over pointless issues!!! Grow up!!

                              They were phased out because goofy egg heads had to try and mess with perfection. Now it's up to REAL motorcycle enthusiasts to put them all back like they should be, Comrade.
