Casual rider that's just out there for some scenery and time with the boy. Been riding an '05 RX-1 for a few years and got the boy a '09 Phazer for this yr. He loves it! I gotta say, that little Phazer is a blast to ride! I actually prefer it over mine.
Not one that needs the power and speed so the Phazer is fine for me.
Anyways.... I'm toying with a new one for myself for next season - a Viper. I just like the look and style of them. Liking the more upright position of the Phazer so curious how those that have ridden both compare the two. Yes, I know it's not apples:apples but amuse me on this.

I went from a phazer to a viper and was able to move the handlebars to achieve the same dimensions from bars to running boards. Obviously the viper is more comfortable seat, faster and all around just a lot more sled than the phazer. I was surprised how loud the viper seemed since the exhaust is in front again.
