2nd Bike Options....

[LMP88]

Hey fellas...i need some help...i have been lucky enough that my wife is a real trooper when it comes to bikes. What i mean is that for the last 6+ years i have always had 2 or more bikes in my stable. I have had (cruisers,sport bikes and sport tourer) at once. From CVO Road Kings to yamaha's Fjr...(not bragging please bear with me).

Here are some of the bikes that i have owned...Road King, triumph rocket 3, kawi concours, fjr,zx14, gixxers,zx10,nomad,vrod,goldwing,ducati just to name a few...currently i got a 2010 Nomad(selling it) a vrod and a voyager...i am looking for another bike But i am 6'2, 190lbs...sport bikes are out of the question...must be a cruiser or similar...a few options that i have considered were...vmax, m109r,dyna wide glide,triumph storm,harley fat bob or What else...

Vmax= fugly and short mpg range.
M109r= meh, dime a dozen around here.
Dyna wide glide= its a harley (not a fan of Kool Aid)
Triumph storm= mixed feeling (on my rocket 3 had a bad accident)
Fat bob= same as above.

Before i bought my current Voyager my plan was replacing the Nomad with a Victory Cross Country...but now that Victory is toast....well you know!!!

The idea of my post is just to ask opinions as of what else is out there...i like to buy the bikes cash and my budget is around 10-12g's....i like to do most of the work myself, time is ticking and wifey is thinking on some "home improvements" soooo i must speed up my bike search.

Guy and a girl passed me yesterday he was riding a harley she was on one of those bikes that had two wheels in the front one in the rear.
Don't laugh what ever you can do to make riding easier for them the they will love and their sure ain't nothing wrong with looks of the bike. Those trikes are easy to ride, stable, and she would have a heck of a lot more room on hers than ours.

I would buy one in a minuet if I wanted one for the GF and she wanted her own.

Punch this in on e bay. eBay item number:122412405137

heck of a nice looking bike and with that 1300 CC motor Id put my money on it she would blow our ass away if she wanted to play. LOL

Here is one for under 9000 eBay item number:152483521181

PS and that girl was having fun. Make life simple for a lady they will fall right in and have the best time. Trying to master one of our bikes with their weight just turns them off. Some do it but most you will run away from the idea quickly.

I'm About your size 6'3" 190# 36+ inseam, so comfort fitment can be a issue.
If I was getting a second bike, It would either be;
Victory Magnum. I know they went out of business, but still a good bike.
Go old school KZ1000 or Ltd. or a 1000 Eliminator.
Honda FB6 cool looking, rode one. Was ok but like my Nomad better. But fit was good.
Honda Valkyrie, about the same as FB6 without the bags
The Indians are a small as the Harleys, and don't fit well. Now if they take on some of the Victory styles, that would be something to consider.
You already have a Vrod. That would be the only Harley I would consider, and don't even know if I would like it.
There just isn't much out there that fits or I like the looks of.

Look at a used R1200GS or RT. They're made for tall people and do everything well.

Cafe racers are trending. Then you can do a "Distinguished Gentlemen's run" on the third sunday of September to raise money for prostate cancer. You can get them brand new, a lot of manufacturers are getting into it, or you can build your own (more expensive but rewarding) from a Honda CB750 for example.
I've been looking for the right bike to start with since last fall.

Triumph Trophy WE. Amazing suspension, handling, and comfort

Yamaha 900 triple in the classically inspired car. Amazing reviews

How about an adventure styled bike. Many out there.

Shaq had a chopper made for him a while back, maybe you should check into that. ???

2ND bike option? You currently have a (1)Nomad, (2)a Vrod, and (3)a Voyager. May have found the problem...��

Have you considered a Honda Fury? Technically, it is still a cruiser.
