Hi. I,am looking at a 2001 aero . I have heard that they vibrate . Is this a big problem ? Is it uncomfortable ?

Most motorcycles will vibrate, I doubt it will be a discomfort for you compared to a smaller machine's vibration.

2001 still had single crankpin... so there is more vibration than a 2002

All bikes vibrate. Single pin vtwins always vibrate more than dual pin vtwins AT IDLE.... Vibrations at speed rarely have anything to do with the motor, unless there is a problem with the motor. Those vibration can offent be dealt with, via adjustment, simple modifications and elemination of bad rider habits.

I used to have a 1999 VT1100C3. My wife could not stand the vibration. It made her legs fall asleep....
