I would LOVE a blackbird. In fact, I just saw a blackbird motor on CL in my area for a decent price...wonder how much of a PIA it would be to stuff that into my viffer
YMMV but for me, an unimaginably excruciating PIA. :worked_till_5am: I see Blackbirds up for sale from time to time that are comparably priced to Viffers. In other words 4 or 5 grand buys a lot of bike. They changed the speeding laws where I live and not in a good way since the time I owned my Bird. Doubt I'd keep my license if I still rode like that. In a straight line, not much difference from the saddle between doing 90 mph and 140 mph on a Blackbird. I'm better off with a VFR now.
