Time for a new bike

[Lonesome7.3]

I have had my trusty V-Start since 1999. It has taken me everywhereI needed to go (and some paced I didn’t) with very little problems throughoutthe years. But I want something bigger and more comfortable. I have wanted a RoadStar for years. But Now I find myself eye balling Royal Stars pretty heavy. Ihave got to say, a full dresser sure does sound like the way to go now. Atfirst I planned on buying a wrecked bike and building what I want. But such aproject is a bit out of reach right now. I really need something turnkey. I amsaving and selling what I can to make this happen but it is not going to beover night. I want to get the right bike at the right time. It will most likelybe with me for a very long time. Just looking for some input or maybe some informationI had not thought of. I am looking for a model with a strong aftermarketsupport and relatively reasonable pricing when used with low mileage. Whatyears should I stay away from and what problems can I expect from the models Iam interested in. Your information does not have to be limited to Road or RoyalStars. Let me know if you now of another model that would do the job.

Always wanted a Royal Star,not a Harley fan.If money was no object I'd have one.

I agree. Many of my friends have Harleys and many of them have a lot of down time. I just do ot get it.

Those are nice but they are just too skinny. I ike my bikes like my women. Big and black.

Do you have it yet?

It's odd, because I have always preferred American cars, but I like the Jap bikes

Same here. I just cannot get into Harleys.

I see what my firends go through with theirs. I am good without one.
