Yeah, if you look up my avatar, you will see I ride a 600. Insanity on two wheels is just not smart. Cute...not smart. Dang!

I'd like to ride it. I have owned a few dozen bikes over the years. The last two were Harley Touring bikes. I only had about 110 HP on one that I had built the engine on.

I biked for about 20 years. Back in 1980s, I test drove a Honda CBX. It was a 1047cc inline six-cylinder engine. Much-too-much for this fellow. I finally got its sibling, the Honda CB900F. Very smooth-riding machine. It was perfect for me, and my wife and I enjoyed our trips on the Kansas country roads.

Ditto PT7, I rode my sons VTR 1000 once. Not for me. Wow, what a machine. I always liked that 900 tho. Great bike.

I once owned a Rocket 3 a 2005 model. It had issues with high idling and I could never get it fixed. Dealer here is a joke. My boss has several of the newer models one has a turbo on it. Ive ridden it and its fast. 225 HP. Its been on the dyno. He showed me a picture of this new model. I don't care for the looks of it to much. I now ride a F6B Goldwing and its without a doubt the best bike I have ever had.

My last bike was a heavily customized Victory Kingpin; it gathered a crowd everywhere I went. I've been looking at Triumph's again; I've always liked them, but a Bonneville is more my speed these days. It just pisses me off that all the new bikes come with computerized ride modes, ABS braking systems and a whole bunch of other crap I don't need. I definitely don't need a 29K rocket ship.
