Freebird Posted May 12, 2010 Share #26 Posted May 12, 2010 OOPs...just thought of another one. I said Harley Ultra and that would probably still be the strongest contender but I would also look at the Triumph Rocket III Touring. Sure wish they would finish dressing it out with a fairing and etc. though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poledar Posted May 12, 2010 Share #27 Posted May 12, 2010 I would go retro and find myself a Yamaha GTS-1000!!! That is the only sport bike I have ever been somewhat comfortable riding!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elag Posted May 12, 2010 Share #30 Posted May 12, 2010 Goldwing or BMW 1200LT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YamaGeezer Posted May 12, 2010 Share #31 Posted May 12, 2010 I like the new Nomads - black of course. I've always been interested in Valks and would buy one if I could find a good one. My riding buddy has a Rocket III. Bike is awesome, but he does seem to have a lot of nagging electrical issues. I'd probably go smaller - maybe one of the new Honda 1300s or the Yamaha 1300.

BigBoyinMS Posted May 12, 2010 Share #32 Posted May 12, 2010 Stratoliner, Cross Country or Rocket III Touring. I would even consider a Vision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordpol Posted May 12, 2010 Share #35 Posted May 12, 2010 Coming from a Nomad to the Venture would look hard and long for another new non current Venture like the 08 I just bought! So much nicer ride than the Nomad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonRider Posted May 12, 2010 Share #38 Posted May 12, 2010 1st choice would be a Valk Interstate, next maybe would be Concours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footsie Posted May 12, 2010 Share #39 Posted May 12, 2010 I think the Voyager, Harley's simple do too much vibration for me. Gregg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterbug Posted May 12, 2010 Share #40 Posted May 12, 2010 The victory vision just wish they would make a quick disconect trunck for it because they look cool with out it but want it when I need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyHorse Posted May 12, 2010 Share #41 Posted May 12, 2010 My next choice would have been a BMW 1200LT,, after that a Goldwing. Same here. BMW then Wing, If someone held a gun to my head its a toss up betwen Victory Vision and Harley Road Glide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreezyRider Posted May 12, 2010 Share #42 Posted May 12, 2010 FJR. I can't envision you on an FJR, at least not for long. You really think you could be comfortable on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreezyRider Posted May 12, 2010 Share #43 Posted May 12, 2010 (edited) 1. 2010 Kaw Voyager. The 2010's have fixed a lot of the little issues that the 09's had. 2. Victory Vision or Cross Country. 3. Stratoliner Deluxe. This would move up higher on the list if it had electronic cruise control. 4. 1800 Gold Wing Ain't none of those probably ever gonna see the inside of my garage though. Too much $$ to put into a vehicle that sits inside for 4 months a year. Edited May 12, 2010 by FreezyRider Forgot one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMIKE Posted May 12, 2010 Share #48 Posted May 12, 2010 For 2 up touring... Probably a... 1. Stratoliner Deluxe and add a top touring pak. I think I could figure out how to add a cruise on it...Although I bet Yamaha does all this for 2011. IF I could afford it and justfy another bike in the barn...(4 in there now) I would own one of these just to ride on Sunday or Monday-Friday. 2.??? Not sure... Probably a BMW 1200LT...but I am not sure I could or would want to afford the maintenance cost... Does the warranty stay in place if you do all the maintenance yourself? 3.?????? maybe try a Wing...but last time I could not find a dealer that would let me sit on one, must less take a test drive....in Lafayette LA or Merdian/Jackson MS area. Yep they are idiots...if 50 year old guy comes in asking 100 questions about the Wing...you would think they may want to encourge a sale a little so they could take my money. Not these Morons. Maybe I looked homeless? I was drving a 6 year old VW, but it was clean. Maybe they thought my legs would not touch the ground anyway, so why bother... Solo Touring 1. FJR..I wanted one of these bad before I bought the Venture, untill sat on one and it really scared me how top heavy it felt...but understand I was used to a 205 lb racing bike so a little weighty feeling scared the daylights out of me. I probably would not even notice it now... 2. 2010 VMAX...bad MAX. That other company and I have a love/hate relationship. I will resist to the end to succum to their marketing practice and follow the crowd. I would probably have to fall on my sword first...or bump my head.

slick97spirit Posted May 12, 2010 Share #50 Posted May 12, 2010 The HD Ultra would be high on my list, but not with so many out there. The Kaw Voyager looks good but not sure about quality yet That Victory Vision keeps growing on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
