Its not so much handling the bike that worries me... its that its a chrysler that goes 300mph... I can picture u flying down the highway when ur tranny goes and all your electrical equipment fails. (I had a chrysler van... Im speaking form experience. lol) The whole thing is a ticking time-bomb. And dont think this will happen when its old. We had to replace the auto-tranny on our 96 voyageur within 3 months of buying it. And thats without towing anything or ever stepping on the gas once. Good thing for waranties.
