It looked huge - then I saw the writing on the 'wall' 250! It's fast though, just like it's larger siblings!(Apparently my VStar has less horsepower and more torque ... I'm learning!)VStar Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634216576989421497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1394161184343172403.post-14206821942120239092013-02-05T23:30:38.682-05:002013-02-05T23:30:38.682-05:00Coop - it's an '88 - it does look rather f...Coop - it's an '88 - it does look rather forward in design though doesn't it?VStar Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634216576989421497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1394161184343172403.post-63714068379486832262013-02-05T23:26:27.371-05:002013-02-05T23:26:27.371-05:00Bob, you guessed the first one, I'm still impr...Bob, you guessed the first one, I'm still impressed.VStar Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634216576989421497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1394161184343172403.post-63589227733851627772013-02-05T19:10:49.392-05:002013-02-05T19:10:49.392-05:00Karen:

I may be wrong (as I often am) but the compression lever on the Matchless seemed far less complicated - pull it in to make starting easier, almost impossible to start without (or so I hear.) ... but you didn't venture a guess on the next one, brand is fairly obvious so you gotta know it's a tricky one.VStar Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634216576989421497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1394161184343172403.post-59358509267654516212013-02-03T22:32:55.772-05:002013-02-03T22:32:55.772-05:00Karen:

You had to "kick" the starter slowly to bring the piston to TDC:Top Dead Center. There was a sight glass with a white mark on it.
