>>1960394Nice Goldwing, for motorcycles I've always been a Honda guy.
>"You meet the nicest people on a Honda"I don't have anymore but back in the day I had this CM450E that I cafe'd. I got it through a 1 to 1 trade, fixed up guitar amplifier that I fixed from non working for a non working CM450E. I was really poor then (still am) and what Goldwing anon says is true, you can have a cool bike but knowing how to wrench will be necessary.
My first motorcycle was a CB125S however, so this CM450E was my second. Fun fact, old Hondas used a 180-degree crank for their twins, my CM450E was a 360-degree crank, so it vibrated like a single. It was a fun little bike, optimized for lower speed inner city street fighting, my favorite kind of riding.
So yeah, I've been on bikes from bicycles to motorcycles my whole life. I don't have a motorcycle anymore but the itch is there, I'm in a position to buy a brand new modern bike too. I kind of want a brand new SV650 but it's a Suzuki (ew) but I also want the CB650R, it's just the SV650 is a better value and better suited platform for a deep inner city street fighter. I'm also eyeing the XSR700 (or R7) and CB750 but we'll see. I might just go full stupid and get a supermoto like the DRZ400SM. It's easy to window shop, hard to actually buy, I like bikes so much, bicycles and motorcycles.
