Car and Bike Talk

[sailfish]

I'm considering a new bike this year. My mileage the last two years in a row has been sad. Partly because of ty weather every summer and partly because I want to go on longer rides but my current bike is just too uncomfortable for it and I end up just not bothering to ride at all. As much as I love stripped down and cafe style bikes, maybe I should finally give an ADV a shot.

You looking for comfort--have I got a deal for you

Can we do +/- $12k?

 

[BSWALKS]

Can we do +/- $12k?

Too much

 

[rod]

Can we do +/- $12k?

$10,500 --its yours.

 

[sailfish]

$10,500 --its yours.

Damn. I was just just kidding cause I'd want something light I could take on trails but if I was in the market for a dresser I'd have to seriously consider that.

Lol. And I thought my number was lowballing. Used Ultras no matter how old rarely go under $16k around here.

I've been trying to sell mine for over a year. 18,600 miles on it - maintained by the local Harley Dealer. I started out at $13,500. I don't need 2 Harleys .

Wow. Definitely sounds like a deal for someone.

FJ-09 would be on my list

Ultras are hard to sell now days. The big bagger/touring bikes are going out of style. Everyone now days wants the adventure bike style even though they are not all that comfortable to ride. Give me a big old old man's "Hog" any day. The Gold Wing market is falling on its face also

 

[rod]

To be truthful the whole motorcycle industry is hurting. They are slowly adding more automatic transmission bikes to their lineups because ---guess why-- the kids now days and their can't used a clutch problem.

 

[sailfish]

They call them the Tracer now but yeah. Maybe a GS 750 or 850 as well.

 

[sailfish]

Mmmm. Damn.

Saw these two in Utah a couple years ago. They were from Germany. You know you are doing some serious riding when you carry 2 spares.
