Ok... Getting a T-Bird is NOT an upgrade. ... It is a totally different bike ... It's not like the Speedmaster or America is a little Honda Rebel 250 or something. If you get yourself a T-Bird, just say that you found a bike that fits you better and you like it better. It's that simple.




Very well put. My Speedy is my first bike... A few months ago, I started getting the "upgrade" itch... tried a few things on for size and found that I'm already on the bike that fits me best. It's that simple. What fits you and your needs. The T-bird or R3R for that matter wouldn't be an upgrade for me. It would be about the equivalent of the childless couple who gets the 12 seat SUV (sorry if this is you, but it's true): more than I'd ever need or use, just for the sake of having it.
