Unplanned, I sold my bike. An offer was made on my Superhawk. So I sold it. I was surprised, as the thought totally had not occured to me.
Oh well. It’s done. So I shall be getting a new bike. Something that is not a Honda. In fact, its very un-Honda. The Anti-Honda. Something I’ve never had before. It’s also very large and heavy, and that makes me nervous. It’s also ridiculously fast… But not something that will have me riding like I have been. This will be a good upgrade for me. One I can cross the country on… and will.
I know where there is an 01 RC51 for sale. 😉
Jim
Naw… New bike has something I needed. Range. Long Range.
Finally saw the light, eh?
I saw the cash…
You will enjoy the new steed. An extra 15-20 twenty horses and 10-15 #feet to deal with the extra 100#s. But range and ergos will be welcome i am sure of. Just keel this one shiny side either up or sideways please!
Victory, Electraglide, Gold Wing, or Can Am Spyder? Anyways, smooth roads,fair weather and enjoy
What kind of guesses are those? When did George turn 80?
I forgot a tactical bike , the Ural with sidecar. Perfect for mounting a M 240 SAW on
Those are cool… But not what I want right now
See you when you get to Maine….on your Victory!
I can say that this is not going to be a Victory. I wish I could afford to consider that.
Well, I’ll still sell you my silver 2004 Kawi zrx1200 if you’re interested. Only 10k miles. Never dropped. Comfy ergos and plenty fast.
Email me details and photos… And location.
George, you get that Rex… I will officially Envy you.
Those are my favorite 2 wheelers… period.
I have wanted one since I saw my first 1100 in 99.
Then again I grew up LUSTING the old Superbikes.
Jim
Well, this bike is a bit bigger than the 996…
Ok. I’ll take some pics tonight and email you more details on it. I’m in Atlanta.
It’s a Smart Car, right?
Well I thought about a Prius… But then I shot it.
I love Priuses… their drivers so much fun to taunt.
“How dare you drive around in that one-ton truck, alone! Don’t you know how much petroleum you’re burning?!”
“Less than you, Prius-boy. I burn locally-produced biodiesel,* so on petroleum, I get 3500 miles per gallon.** What does your Prius get?”
Then they mutter something and wander away,
*I do it because I want to support my neighbors, and I’d burn locally-produced petroleum if we had oil wells in NH. But Prius-boy doesn’t need to know that…
**4 gallons of engine oil every 15k miles.
Couldn’t resist the new Fiat 500?
Otherwise known as Fix It Again Tony
You’re killing me. Having just bought a Bandit I’m really curious to know.
A bandit 1200 was a contender.
So, NOT the vtx1800. I’ll quit guessing now. Can’t wait to hear.
I wouldn’t mind one of those!
I love my HD ElectraGlide, definitely “not a Honda”…I have the removable tour pak, low windshield, and other mods to make it look almost like a StreetGlide when removed. That makes for a cruiser around town and touring package for cross country. Good luck with whatever you choose! and if your travels bring you to the south…I’ll provide great Southern Hospitality complete with a firing range.
My goal is indeed a cross country tour.
Sounds like something in the vein of a ZX11/ZZR1200 would be a great candidate.
Jim
Jim, you are too much like me…
Saw a women in her 70’s riding a Can Am Spyder the other day… I’m sure she wont mind you having the same bike.
Which BMW model is it?
R1200GS?? I could go far on one of those, or spend the money on an(other) Edelweiss alpine trip before I get too old!
figure in a seat rebuild if you get a ZRX- I love mine but the seats are definitely not user friendly. Buell pegs will give an inch more leg room.
