v thunder rules
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I bought this bike about 4 months ago for 2000 and Im having a blast . I ride it every day and it feels awsome. Ive racked up 1400 miles on it and get nothing but compliments. It looks like a HARLEY FAT BOY clone for 10,000 dollars less. Its full frame makes me feel more comfortable . With all the crome its got I belive its well worth the price and I hope vento gets its act together and starts producing more bikes like this one . I recomend it to any one whom wants to get around town in a cooool bike. Plus its 85 miles to the gallon doesnt hurt either . For all those people that dont know about bikes {wich is about 95% of our population} its a HARLEY in their eyes. For the rest of the haters its a bike that cost me a fraction of the cost of a HOG yet it does the same thing GETS ME AROUND .

Welcome aboard,you won't find too many haters in here,maybe some strong opinions but no real haters.
Nice enough little bike to put around town on,hope it proves to be reliable.
1400 miles isn't even quite an average break in period but it is enough time typically to shake out any initial major bugs in a machine
I think you would find it woefully underpowered for any long distance riding especially if you had to get out on the superslab but for a beginner that wants to get started in the motorcycle cruiser world with a comfy around town bike on a tight budget I'd say it's a good fit.
We all started with something less than a full dress HOG.;)

I appreciate the positive welcome thanks////
Its my starter bike and Ill move through the evolution as many of you have and go through some bikes before making it to a Harley.For the moment this bike is exiting for me and gives me a new look on my surroundings. I just wanted to encourage some begginers or people whom want to get around town in a cheap and fun way, to get a wana be harley. Vento has worked out for me so far!!!!!!!!! Any way thanks

And I love how your V-Thunder is staking its territory (garage floor on pics 1 and 2) like the old Harleys used to do! :D:thumbup

Look into a Sporty! or even a Dyna... Harleys that are SUPER FUN and Underrated, because they "cost less"
