So, I heard that K8's are the worst year. Opinions?
« on: March 17, 2009, 01:13:50 PM »
This one guy said K8's are slower, heavier, and less comfortable than all other years, especially the F1 which goes to eleven.
Then this other guy said it was true and that you couldn't wheelie a K8 with pogo sticks for front forks.

I was wondering if anyone around here had any opinions about the K8, which is apparently garbage...

I am thinking two possibilities here:

1.U never heard that from a person with normal intelligence.

2. U are trying to stir up crap after the Eldar situation.

There's a fourth possibility... but saying it jinxes it.

K8's are crap.
If you have one or any K8 parts, send them to me and I will properly dispose of them.

I heard they came with an extra-large toolkit pouch that you could unfold and wear as chaps.

i'm answering on the assumption youre serious. any of the sohc 750's are great bikes. some folks might not like the look of them but theres nothing mechanially wrong with these motorcycles other than maybe those accelerator pump carburetors, i;ve heard of several riders putting the 69-76 750 carbies onto the later model motorycles.
