donaldj2242 Posted May 11, 2010 #1 Posted May 11, 2010 If Yamaha didn't make a RSV or RSTD. what would be your bike of choice? I think I would be riding a Harley Street Glide, if I could come up with the money or Kawasaki Voyager.
SilvrT Posted May 11, 2010 #3 Posted May 11, 2010 For me it would either be a 2009 or 10 Harley Ultra with the 103 engine or a Valkyrie Interstate.
Freebird Posted May 11, 2010 #5 Posted May 11, 2010 Well I love the cruiser styling so for me it would probably be a Harley Ultra.
Yammer Dan Posted May 11, 2010 #6 Posted May 11, 2010 FJR fully dressed. If I win Powerball I'm going to have one anyway!!
hig4s Posted May 11, 2010 #7 Posted May 11, 2010 My next choice would have been a BMW 1200LT,, after that a Goldwing.
1BigDog Posted May 11, 2010 #8 Posted May 11, 2010 Probably an Ultra or maybe a Stratoliner. Leg position is very important for me. My feet need to be forward.
dunvilsteev Posted May 11, 2010 #9 Posted May 11, 2010 Same as you, Harley Street Glide maybe a Road King.
GigaWhiskey Posted May 11, 2010 #10 Posted May 11, 2010 This thread is kinda biased, ya think????? There sure is not much to choose from though. I have looked. I like the new Concours but 2up riding would be as nice for momma.
donaldj2242 Posted May 11, 2010 Author #12 Posted May 11, 2010 CVO Harley Ultra Classic, another choice, if I hit the lotto. Nothing against Wings, I have friends that ride them, but that bike just does not fit me. Very uncomfortable sitting position.
Yamaman Posted May 11, 2010 #13 Posted May 11, 2010 That's a tough one. It would be hard to replace the best! I like the looks of the Ultra Classic best of all the rest, but not keen on v-twins. I'd ride it first and if I didn't like it then I'd probably go sporty. If money were no object I would test ride the BMW 1200LT and the Kaw Concours 14 and also take a run on the new Honda VFR 1200. Also on the list would be the FJR and the Honda ST1300. Since I've never riden any of these bikes, I can't pick one without trying them all out. I would probably go with which ever one of those was the best fit. I have a feeling it would be either the Concours 14 or the BMW.
Sgtglenn Posted May 12, 2010 #16 Posted May 12, 2010 May have to consider either a Victory Vision or Cross Country or a Wing.
Mikealiasmike Posted May 12, 2010 #17 Posted May 12, 2010 May have to consider either a Victory Vision or Cross Country or a Wing. my sentiments exactly:thumbsup:
earwig Posted May 12, 2010 #20 Posted May 12, 2010 had a k1200lt sold it for the classic look of the rsv, so would have to stay with a hd ultra
scotty Posted May 12, 2010 #21 Posted May 12, 2010 I too would have to check out the 1200LT. I was looking at them last fall. I asked the salesman if I could get a test ride. He said if I wanted to put down a $36,000 deposit, No problem. I never did get to ride one.
hig4s Posted May 12, 2010 #23 Posted May 12, 2010 Sounds like you ran across an idiot salesman. No kidding, seeing as MSRP is around $19 to $21k depending on setups. And every BMW dealer I've ever been to offered test rides.
Kirby Posted May 12, 2010 #24 Posted May 12, 2010 If Yamaha didn't make a RSV or RSTD. what would be your bike of choice? I think I would be riding a Harley Street Glide, if I could come up with the money or Kawasaki Voyager. Probably a moped!!! No seriously, a Goldwing or a good used Valkarie. After that, might strap on some bags to a new VMAX!!!
BradT Posted May 12, 2010 #25 Posted May 12, 2010 Not sure, I would have to do a lot of reading and looking. Not fussy on V-twin's Brad
