You mean, "Unring the bell??"

i want my ride to be close to perfection thats why i get a morphous. perfection is what we aim for in this life isn't it?

I think everyone's definition of "Perfection" is personal. For you a Morphous is perfection. For some it's a trike, for some a $30,000 CVO Harley. Can you compare a Morphous to that? I stopped having measures of "Perfection" ages ago. Right now I bought a Chinese 250 to prove that my riding skill and mechanical ability can get high mileage out of something not reputed to do so. If I wanted perfection it wouldn't be a Morphous, a Kawasaki Concours 1400 maybe, but not a Morphous.

Throttle pegged, the Vespa zips from 0-60 mph in 12.9 seconds, 3.4 seconds quicker than the Yamaha.

0-60 in 16.3 seconds, watch out for speeding Smart Cars.

The GTS tips the scales at 345 pounds, nearly 50 pounds lighter than the Yammie. Quarter-mile times are closer, and top speed is dead-even at 76 mph.

395 pounds for a 250?? And I thought my 365 pound Big Ruckus was heavy. Radar checked at 76 mph, flat out?

The low-slung Morphous reaches its cornering limits quite early, hitting its sidestand and centerstand on the left and the centerstand on the right. Adding a passenger makes the situation worse, particularly since, unlike on the Vespa, the dual shocks are not adjustable to compensate for additional back-of-bike weight.

Non-adjustable shocks?? Just like a Roketa.

Despite the Morphous’ immense size, storage isn’t all that great.

I'll leave that to you.

The GTS is quicker, more comfortable and more fuel efficient. It has better cornering clearance and superior storage. Most importantly, it’s more fun to ride.

Hmmmm, more fun to ride. Can you say "Perfection".

I don't hate the morphous, just lukes attitude
In fact I'd like to do a trike conversion on a morphous
Long, low, greased trike dildo

Really kool

Thanx man
I know you don't like em, but I think with bigger rear tires it would look kool.
And different fenders
The Japanese conversions look so nice

A lucky gal actually :-)

We can't wait to ride together. Heading down to register and insure them later this week.

So far I have 8 hours into mine, and I figure I probably have 24 more hours left to put into it. I already have it stripped of all plastics and the horns, horn relay, flasher relay and all the leds lights in. Oh, and the engine and gear oil changed.

There is nothing nicer than having your girl riding beside you gong down the road.
Stopping to get a bite, and cruizing around the lake/park/country side/etc.
Make sure to get em both gone thru and everything checked, fixed, tightened, added, etc etc.

Enjoy


(See how nice I was to not expand on 'geting a bite'??)
