Ever heard of it?

Hi everybody on this forum.. Im new here and just wanted to get a thread started so I can chat with you all.

I know I already asked this in the poll that lionsbane started but I wanted to start my own thread about it so the topic dont get changed on the poll.

Have any of you heard of a Suzuki Vx 800? Its as far as I know a pretty rare bike. only made for like 3 years.. ( I THINK )
like I said in lionsbane's thread, great starter bike, I almost got a yamaha 400 and im glad I didnt because I think it would have been to slow for me. This bike is a great all around bike, looks sporty, has lots of power in every gear,and yet you can go cruising on it and not get worn out real quick.
any vxers here let me know

thanks for this forum, I like talkin about bikes, and look forward to talkin to everybody here.

Hi!

As I recall, the VX800 was sorta like a bigger version of the GS-family in the early 90's, yes? I had a friend who had one in maroon... had a comfy backseat (this was when I was still learning how to ride my own bike, so I could only ride as passenger). It was a neat bike, but alas, he sold it.

yes they are neat kinda like an all around bike. they have the same vtwin as the intruder but bored out more.
I dont know why they didnt sell very well because I love the thing. I guess its just my taste of bikes.
although some day Id like to get a full sports bike this one will do for now.
