Yeah, that whole part of the story smells funny.

This is all well and good, but how will it affect the price of Gefiltifish on the corner of Derech-Patah and Yitzhak-Sadeh?

If you're looking for inexpensive and easy to care for, I'd suggest the DR650 Suzuki. Not expensive to get into, good cargo rack, easy maintenance, valve adjusts are screw and nut so they're easy (I did mine myself in about 1 hour with minimal effort). Chain adjusters make adjustment a snap. Gas milage was about 50. Being dropped wasn't a big issue and being less water cooling just made it simpler to take care of. And if the road isn't so good, it doesn't mind at all.
