It's my second bike actually. 4th one I've ridden.
I trained on a '04 Buell Blast (yuck).
Test rode a '09 BMW F650GS (very very nice)
1st bike bought was an '86 Honda Nighthawk 450. It was fun and taught me a lot. Heck I'd still have it if the economy hadn't tanked badly in '09.
This one I bought for getting around. We plan to keep it a good long while. The LED strip I want is like $30. Lumilor would be very cool but I don't think I could afford it mores the pity.
And yeah this will be for me to use when my wife is working out of town and has the car. I much prefer the car aside from the fact that we dropped $17k on it.
And now with all the bike makers got out it would be a hard task to chose "What would I buy if I had the cash".
