That is the question. I've got a funny feeling that I'm going to get shot down in flames for even thinking about it, but at the moment this novice rider is torn between a Yamaha Dragstar 650 cc custom which is in showroom condition but 14 years old and going for 2,450 pounds (two previous owners) and a 2007 Triumph America with custom panniers, slash cut pipes and a summer shield for - if I manage to negotiate it - 3000 pounds. It's done 15,000 miles and the only thing that's not going for it is the colour, which is red, but I can live with that. So ... foregone conclusion? The TBA?
