Good points. My other shortlist would be Suzuki Boulevard (C50/M50) or Yamaha VStar/Classic/Custom or Honda Spirit/Aero. Only HD I like is the VROD but out of my price range (my ex-college roommate did design work on the transmission so I'm partial I guess). Something in 650-900cc range, similar cruiser styling - not plastic-clad sports bike for sure!

Thanks



those are also nice bikes, BUT... they are heavier and do not handle nearly as well as my Triumph did. (yeah, had to sell it, needed the $$$) I've ridden all three of those, dependable, yet boring.

Do the recommended AIS stuff (lots of info here in search) It will not only outrun those other bikes, but it's way more fun.
Oh, and you'll get lots of compliments and questions, so if you're really shy, just get a Hardley and no one will notice you. I can say that cause I still have a Harley...
