So in layman terms jumping from a car battery won't hurt.
Not if nothing else is wrong and your not holding the starter button
down long enough to melt the starter.
The advantage of a bike batt is it's one more safety valve. It's CCA

Could you post them when you have them?

I think most air cooled bikes are in the 8 - 9 range due to the higher
probability of pre-ignition.

Yep, I would still be real hesitant on the V45 . There's one (a
Sabre) down here in PA that's done 30 something thousand miles I
looked at a few weeks ago. It ran, needed a couple of things like a
turn signal flasher which he took and put on the Nighthawk I bought
from him. He wanted

Agree on all points mentioned before... the reliability, the
weaknesses... but the V45 has such a nice kick to it !
Ok, the kick will send you straight into a tree, but man you'll go
there with a smile (until you realize it's too late !)
:-)
Also make sure to check front brakes : the original
The V45 has a nicer exhaust note too in my opinion. I've considered getting
a Sabre, but I prefer my NH for all other reasons.

I do 140 miles commute everyday so It comes down to basically one tank

You ought to hear my VFR, best sounding machine ever. Like a cross between an
indy car and a 440 magnum with a cam.

Yes I hear they are fast. I don't understand why 40,000 miles on a bike
seems like a lot. Everyone told me not to buy a Sporty but I did. After 8
years and about 70,000 miles it had never a problem. Mind you I did my own
work and took good care of it. My bud has over 100,000 miles on his '99
Dyna.
Careful with the type that clips to the bars. I got a set of Acerbis a
few weeks ago that are designed for MX. As it turns out, MX bikes dont
have as much crap on the bars that street bikes do. As a result, I

So what : some ice and snow with a 10°F would not stop a real biker,
right ?!
Hey just bought mine, said the same thing, took 3 weeks to fix, and
I'm using it until a finger falls off !
Will be in Quebec next week but not with the Nighthawk and hope to get

Well, when you have an average rider only putting 3-5k miles on their bike
/per year/, 40k is 8-12 years of riding. That's a lot, to most people.

Well I bought the Magna 750. I'll pick it up tomorrow, supposed to be sunny
but a bit on the nippy side. It's a 60 mile ride but should be fun. Dress
warm and stop for coffee, what could be better. Snow where I live, up the
mountain.
