I've been all over the place since my last post on this topic.
Bikes considered:
Kawasaki Versys 650
Victory Cross Country
Indian Chieftain
VStar 1300 Deluxe
VStar 1300 Tourer
Suzuki M109
Zero electric
Victory CC Tour
I think I am back to the VStar 1300 Deluxe. Here's why:
- Cheap to buy used ($8k or less for a '13-14 with 4k miles - a grand or two less than our F6Bs - mine ain't going anywhere soon)
- GPS/satellite radio/iPod stereo system
- Vtwin power
- 87 octane gas
- Cheap to own/ maintain
- Bulletproof reliable
- Decent power
- Looks good
- Liquid cooled
- More airflow
- Huge bags
