	I purchased a honda vt 750c motorcycle from honda in salisbury, maryland on august 1, 2009. i have ridden the bike about 400 miles and at speeds above fifty miles per hours the cycle vibrates badly. at speeds over 55 the cycle bounces severely enough to bounce the rider's eyeballs to the point that vision is severely impaired. i returned the motorcycle to the dealership and contacted honda inc. they seem less than concerned to say the least. it is the dealerships position that all of the vt 750's ride in a like manner. if that is the case these bikes need to be removed from the road. there is significant inherent danger in riding any motorcycle. younger inexperience riders may not recognize the danger represented by the loss of visual acuity. adding this level of danger to cycling is unacceptable. if the bikes all bounce, they should be bounced from the road and all owners compensated. *tr
