I'm looking for a street bike right now too. I have no history or knowledge of bikes sadly. Been googling tons and following your travels. I got about $2000 budget.

| Re: NIRC. Chit Chat
My first street bike, only street bike, was an 86 Honda Nighthawk 650. Great bike. Plenty of power but not kill yourself power! I dumped it at 65mph 20 years ago and really haven't rode since. I bought an 89 Honda NX250 (my high school dream bike) 8 years ago but had to immediately sell it to cover attorney fees. I'm all over the place though. I kinda want an early sport bike: 1980 Honda CB900F or 83 CB1000F. I really want another dirtbike. I'm seriously thinking I'll get the Goldwing amd make a project out of it... I love the big cafe look. They are not fast but pretty safe I think... I think a Goldwing (or an enduro) would've rode right over the pot hole that wrecked me 20 years ago.

Haha, you're old. I've never heard of someone pulling a GW apart like that. You'd have a lot of engine! And maybe even reverse! |

there's really not too much to it... remove the fairings, new seat, new fenders and new handle bars and you are essentially there.

Even if you just remove the luggage, they are pretty.  |

Man, you are extra grouchy lately. I figured you'd feel more relaxed not going in LB everyday. |
