Default Re: Need your advice

Well, Dennis, true enlightenment comes when you realize that man cannot live with just one bike, because none of them do everything well. We don't either, but we WANT to be able to do everything, well or not. I would say, forget the FJR, which is a compromise between touring and sport, and buy two bikes, maybe a used Wing for the one end, and a nice race replica for the other end. Buying recent used you can keep the money in the same range as the new yammy. Heck, with a little luck you might can add a third, maybe a dual-sport with the other two. Think of the possibilities!

Dennis:



I'm 55 and limit myself to one bike, which my wife insisted that I buy as if I were going to ride solo. So I picked the BuellXB12Ss. I heartily recommend it. Handling is great, gas mileage is quite good, no valves to adjust, and the bike is an absolute hoot to ride. Barring that, the only other candidate is a VFR.
