I went and test rode a used 00 VFR at lunch today.

Didn't do anything special for me. The new ones are better IMO. I think I am going to end up picking up something new (as in not a VFR, maybe not a brand new bike). I guess I can't stay away. It was a lot of fun to go for a little ride.

I stuck one of my bicycles on Ebay. Pointless to have 3 anyway as I can only ride one at once.

Seems this would put you at the top of the "Who's next thread"

It is way to hard to stay away from a bike if you had one previously. Good luck in your search.

psssst! Didn't you just buy a bike out there, and it's out there right now?

If you've never tried a dual sport before, give one a ride. I rode a 650 V-Strom Saturday morning and really liked it. I think it would be great to tour on and a it's a riot on tight back roads. Very comfy too.

All I've rode is a tiger... it was fun but I'm not sure it handled well enough to keep me happy.

I should take a look at the 650 V-strom though. If it was just a little bit more comfy I might really like it.

I think I am headed in a more squidly direction though.

Only "dual sport" bike I have had the chance to ride is my friends R1150GS... Thats a nice bike, and it will certainly perform for you, but the pricetag is a bit daunting... And of course you have to dig the BMW twin styling which isn't for all folks...
