Thanks for reviewing the bike, and I wanted to let you know that you are dead on with your conclusion of the VN750. The motor is amazing, and so is the rest of the drivetrain. And that picture of the motor in a standard chassis is beautiful! That being said, (and I can say these things because I own one, and can attest to the piss-poor ergos)This bike looks better without a standard windshield, But that's just not possible for me, because I DO ride long distances on my VN750, if only because the motor deserves to be run, I love it so... I'm a fairly big & tall fellow, so the placement of the footpegs is a bit wonky & uncomfortable for longer rides, and the stock seat is absolutely atrocious! If you ride much longer than 2 hours on it, under any road condition, your ass goes completely numb, and your back starts to ache. And the tank is definitely not big enough. I just can't tell anyone enough how much I love the engine though... Hey Tan, A couple notes…
