What if you decided your next bike would be your last bike purchase,
what would YOU choose?
I have conflicting "requirements". One is that I want something that
is pure sex, aka Ducati, and is yet easy to maintain (ie. none).
As much as I respect the comfortable easy to please pretty fat girl,
I
just don't see myself riding a Harley.
So what is left? FJR? ST1300, Concours 1400. Yeah they are
attractive (and cheap) enough, ain't really fat, but damn they are
tall. I don't know if I could handle a tall bitch as I age, I might
get too scared to mount her.
Now there are some older German girls out there, they catch my
eye...
But I've never ridden one. And sex before marriage is not a bad
thing.
For the time being, I'll keep ridin' the little bitch I got.... |

Interesting question. My first thought was I'd want something I
haven't had before. I don't care about brand names. In my opinion they
all make good bikes, for the purpose they were intended.
Maybe a dual purpose or a sport bike. I haven't done a lot of off road
riding and that might be fun. Nor have I ridden a performance machine.
I think my riding skills are far better today than ever before and it
would be fun to step it up a notch.
Then I got to thinking, it is my last bike, what if I don't like it or
it is not a good fit for me. That would be a problem. A big problem.
So I am back to something I know, which would be a cruiser or a
touring model. What is there in that genre that would get my juices
flowing? The Victory Cross Country has recently caught my eye. Still
little Jetsony in the styling but a good looking bike. And I like what
I am hearing these days about the comfort and performance of the
Victory line.
Now if Yamaha would put that new V-Max engine in a better balanced
Venture frame, the decision would be simple. But they are not about to
do that.
Going back to something I know, I know my Road King and am very happy
with it. It fits me well and when I clean it up it looks like it is
right off the showroom floor. It is a little under powered but a 95
kit and a little head work will fix that.
At the end of the day, if the bike I have right now was also my last
bike, I wouldn't be disappointed. Given your hypothetical question
this might be the boring answer, but it is the truth.
So, if I can't have them all, I'll stick with what I have. |

Feel the same about my ST1300. When I consider my age and state of
(deteriorating) health, it could very well be my last bike. If so, I won't
complain. |

Well if that's the case I hope you ride it for a very long time. |

Hang onto to your cash.
Don't buy anything new.
Buy some old man's gently used toy.
The US $ will probably bottom out against other foreign currencies in
December, 2012.
It will be a buyer's market then.
How's that going to affect used prices?
The dollar is actually firming at the moment against the euro and is
stable against the yen, although it weakened against the yen earlier
this year. And the latest US economic figures mean that th dollar is
likely to strengthen. So I don't know where you get your figures from.
The same place he gets all his info? Out of his ass.
Well that explains that smell... |

No, less is not more. Nor is a starter on a motorcycle "more" except
in the sense of "more to go wrong".
8^) Oh and it's my humble opinion you had something set wrong or over
primed on that bike. 8^) |

If I knew it was going to be my last motorcycle, it'd probably be one

Trying to kick start a cold diesel without glow plugs
doesn't sound like a lot of fun. I think I'd settle for one
that ran without electrics once you got it going.
Particularly if this was a bike intended to last into my
old age. |

Who's wearing pants!?
My point exactly...it's not sporting to put a load of rock salt in
your ass if you can't run. You kids are sure stupid these days... 8^) |
