  I have No idea about any newer bike I would consider. Like a few have said, I'd go for an older one.

     I've always liked the Norton Commando and the Royal Enfield Interceptor.

Thank you all for your replies. Exactly the type of responses I was looking for. I've researched a little further on those bikes and more and ...


...I think I'm going to upgrade to a CB750F :)

Call every HD dealer you can.   ME and a buddy of mine each picked up a Buell 1125CR after HD pulled the plug on them.

Brand spanking new from the dealer for right at $7000.  That is not a misprint.   That Rotax 1125 is an absolute beast.

That is more bike than any normal person would ever need.   Never really been a Buell or HD guy, but I know a good deal

when I stumble onto them.      If I were to do it again, I think I'd stock pile some more CB750s....if I could find em.
Yep, I'm the kid that figured out how to put things back together...eventually.
