Hi @ all !!
Allow me to introduce myself here in this cool forum. Iīm Blacksonja from Germany. Excuse me, if I sometimes write something not quite right and correct me if neccessary, unfortunately my English is not as good as Iīd like it to be. I found my way to this page by mention of a member of a german forum site.
Now, what can I tell you about me? I am driving a Honda FX650 Vigor with 39HP. It is not my first bike, but my most beloved. In my jounger days (before I had my drivers license) I often drove motorbikes cross country with my friend. He had different machines such as two old BMWs, one 250ccm and one 600ccm from the Bundeswehr. Further a 50ccm Zündapp and a 250ccm Montesa Cross-competition bike. In lack of licenses (we were both 14 and 15 years old), we drove only on private ground away from all streets. As he was 16, he bought a XL 185. There I found my love to trail bikes. Later my friend bought a Honda NX 650 Dominator, which he still owns.
After I was eightteen and owner of my drivers license, by and by I had several bikes like a Zündapp 100, a Honda CB 200, and a Honda XL 125. The last three years I owned a Kawasaki Eliminator 252. It wasnīt a bad bike, had a very good engine, but I didnīt like the handling in curves and on loose ground. I was frustratet, wishing to own a trail bike but i am not tall enough to handle it secure in heavy traffic (Iīm only 1,58m tall). I dreamed of a bike, so easy to handle like my long gone XL 125, but with the power of the Dominator. Damned, it had to be a Enduro or nothing!
It was my brother (he really knows ALL bikes, especially Hondas) who gave me the right idea. "Look for a Vigor", he said, "they are not so high and heavy, but have the 650erNX motor". In space of two weeks the Elli was sold and there stood a "new" (used) FX 650 in my garage. My dream had come true. Found one in my surrounding (only 40km away), she was in very well conditions, had only some more than 5500km and was not too expencive.
Now I posess her since four month (September and October 2008 and since March 2009) and drove much more kilometers than with my Elli in three years. Oh godess, it is so much fun with the FX, I really love this bike.
Oh ... I spoke a litte to much, didnīt I? Think Iīd stop here and wait for your comments. Hope I did not bore you too much. Like to be here
Kind regards,
Sonja
