Shaft Drive Bikes
 

Anyone had any experience of the following bikes:

Kawasaki z1000st , Yamaha XJ 900 Diversion, Honda Deaville, Kawasaki GTR 1000's, and Honda NTV650.

Just any details of problems with the bikes, things to look out for and reliablity...

Cheers. :D

You thinking of gettting a winter hack mate :?:

That would be the plan, as I start a new job in Jan and its a 100 mile round trip. As I'd rather not ruin the SV with it I was thinking about something else.

I class my SV as a winter hack as it is a budget bike....... Just give it a good coat of WD40 and its all set.

Looking at getting something sporty next year......

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo - I think how I see my SV is different to you.....

My dad is getting a Deauville (tonight I think) so I'll let you know how it is.

A well looked after modern chain will last, it seems though, so I don't think that shaft drive is at all essential.

Good Man. Whilst it may not be exotica, How dare anyone refer to the SV as a winter hack?!
To the Tower with them. :wink:

I guess he passed his test then!! nice one

He certainly did. With no minors as well. Damn show off.

excellent, so he'll be showing you up on rideouts and stuff soon then :P
