2014 Yamaha XV1900 CFD review
Posted
by
Blimey, was that a Red Kite? Bird watching on the move is one thing, but what comes next demands a little more concentration. Philosophical question no 19: Cruiser, is it a noun to describe a type of motorcycle; or an adjective to describe a state of mind? I prefer the latter. You can cruise…
