For the past couple of years, I have been thinking that I wanted a new bike. But what did I want?
I was looking hard at the Super Duke. Man, they look fun.
A Super Duke would be a great replacement for the Gen1 FZ. But, I'm still in the middle of the Baltimore/Washington corridor. I have two hours of traffic, regardless and 90 miles to get anyplace fun to ride. At the end of the day, wile I love the way the Super Duke looks I don't think it's what I need. I need range, I need hard bags, I need weather protection and ABS.
SprintST, K1300GT, ST3, New Connie... all on the list.
But I hope to get the wife to ride two up a little... Sprint and ST3 are to much sport. I love the K13GT, but it's not worth the price of admission (to me).
So it was between the Conie and the FJR.
Connie, FJR, FJR, Connie... back and forth. Then I got a chance to see the two side by side. The FJR is the winner.
But money has gotten a little tight around here right now. The wife is in Real Estate and has lost about 60% of her income, but thing are looking better. Plus, I like to buy at the end of the session unless I can find a left over '08 or used Gen II FJR in great shape.
The hunt is on. Wish me luck.
