Now two Vaqueros, but for something completely different - Honda Silverwing maxi-scooter! Huge trunk, a 600cc engine that has surprised many a crotch-rocket, and incredibly nimble. Oh, don't forget, at least 75 mpg. It can run at freeway speeds with no problem (although after an hour, it does get a little "buzy"), but is a true dream around town and backroads.

Do many members own other Bikes?
Besides the Voyager, I've got a 650 VStrom and the wife has a 2016 Can Am F3 Limited.

I had three bikes at one time (a 1500 Classic, a 1500 Drifter and a 750 Honda Shadow), I now have a Versys 650 LT............paying all the insurance on three bikes was a killer.

Also have a 2007 Suzuki C90. And I'm foster caring for my brother inlaw. Have his 2003 Honda VTX 1800 in the barn for a few minor repairs. Once that is done, I'll put it up for sale. Then when it's gone I'll have room to clean up the C90 a bit before it goes up for sale.

When I bought the 2012 Voyager, I kept my 1st bike, also bought new, an 05 800 Classic. It has just over 112,000 miles and I rode it to work last night. Its living a semi retired life now, mostly solo trips to and from work when the weather is nice out.

I have owned a couple of bikes at the same time over the years. But I decided that
the insurance, inspections, registrations and upkeep on more than one bike too much of a burden. One at a time, thank you.

Had a 750 Yam Virago before my Nomad. Tach too hi at hiway speeds, but fun & nimble, blew my bro away on Va. 421 vs. His Harley dresser. Nomads can't lean much either. Kinda miss the Virago after a neighbor insisted on buying it. Didn't like having to choose which to ride each day. Honestly, Nomad is so great I don't care to ride another. Maybe a Hyabussa, but never had a crotch rocket.

I'd love to add some dual sport or adventuer rides to the stable. Momma says she'd entertain adventure riding, so maybe the door is open for some additions?
