I like the look of the T-bird, but it would be out of my price range. I have looked at Moto Guzzi, Harley, Aprilia, and Triumph models that all fall within the $7K to $9K range (mostley used or demo bikes). I don't think it would be such a hard decision if the Triumph America or Speedmaster was around 1100cc. I'm not into drag racing or anything like that, but I would like a bike that has plenty of passing power on the freeway. I'd also like the bike to be able to handle the occasional two-up riding. While I'm happy that the 2009 Triumphs finally have fuel-injection, I was bummed to see they are still chain drive. I was hoping to see belt drive for 2009.



That's startin' to sound more like a Rocket III. Ya know, I've seen several sold used in my area at prices close to the upper end of your range. If I did more touring instead of commuting, I'd have to get one. That's huge torque for a MC, must be a real blast on the freeway!
