mello dude Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 (edited) So what are you replacing it with? (Let's see.. FJR1300? ST1300? Gold Wing?...) Edited June 15, 2010 by mello dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironbuttwannabe Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I have a K1200LT. Can't get anymore comfortable than that. It still handles well above 5 mph even with the weight. You're wife would enjoy the back seat on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Hey Hoblick - by all accounts, you've got a bad case of trackday addiction. In that respect, you remind me of me 2 years ago given the mileage of your VFR, it's clear you enjoy street riding and touring, but consider how many trackdays, tires, etc. $5k could buy you. That could realistically be almost two seasons worth of riding for the above-average trackday rider.Then consider how much less touring you'll be doing with weekends at the track taking up your time.I'm not saying "don't get a street bike," but given how much less you're going to be using the street bike, I'd encourage you to consider something less expensive.I'm actually thinking my next (street) bike might be a Bandit 1200. Plenty of 2-up power, reasonable luggage options, okay mileage, and fairly comfortable (especially when you're comparing it to a track bike). The best part is that you can find the last generation for $2500-$3500 in fantastic shape. yes, you have to tolerate carburetors, but to save $2k, I'd consider it.My track bike is certainly nothing spectacular, but I think I'll always have a 'nicer' bike for the track (where I can actually use it) than for the street.just one guy's opinion. Hold out for a private party buyer on the VFR, and find an end-of-season deal on your next bike.GLWS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
