Greetings and all that Good Stuff

Old Brock here. Been riding since I was 14, turning 70 in a few weeks.
Lost count of how many but I've had a few. Probably my most favorite was my 08' GoldWing. On a Suzuki C50 (for now). Not my favorite but it works for now. I've been kicking tires on Road King, Vaquero & Voyager. I'm hearing music when I get around the Voyager. Going to have to save up a few more pennies first.

I'm a little nervous about buying a used scooter but not sure why. I'm sure there are some good examples of used ones to be had but.....

My wife keeps saying, ""Not a Kawasaki..!!"" She remembers a Long time ago when I had a Kawasaki 500 two stroke. I guess I scared her a little too much. Now she thinks ALL Kawasaki's are like the 500. hahaha

Oh well, See ya down the road.

Hello and welcome to the forum.
If you plan on taking your wife on the bike buy the newest Voyager you can afford.
If no passenger then a Vaquero would be my choice.

I love my Voyager. Take it any day over the HD. BUTT,,,,,,, I would suggest that you sit on all 3 bikes, ride if you can. Voyager is top heavy. I do know that my Russel Day Long seat adds to that off balance feel at stops. I have a wide arse, The seat is wide and has great thigh support. They build the seat for comfort while riding, not stopped. If you are looking for reliability, Kawasaki is your best choice.
