Do many members own other Bikes?
I love my Vaquero, however it would be nice to have another bike to mix things up. Something totally different and sporty such as a naked or sport. The Vaquero is powerful, but along the lines of a freight train (and I mean this in a very complimentary way). I am thinking of something much lighter for quick trips locally.
I am wondering what others may have for a second bike.

I have a Yamaha 1300 V Star Tourer. Much lighter than my Voyager was and easy to ride in traffic. It has bags, floorboards and a windshield, all stock.
With a Cobra intake and slip on muffler, Ivans ECU flash, the motor is making approximately 86hp, and close to 50pmg. |

A bobbed, blacked out hotrod 1500 classic, Harley pullback risers, drag pipes, setup solo, too many mods to mention....superfast....her name is BlackHeart....
I test things on her before I mod my Nomad....shes my 400 mile and under bike when needed.... Engine is a mixture of 1500/1600 parts, leftover performance parts finds their way to her....

Friend is trying to trade me his 2014 Vaquero for my 2001 Thunder 1600 Nomad. His bike has 25,000 miles, while mine has close to 100,000....
I like the Vaqueros....alot....but not enough to loose my Nomad.... It fits, modified just the way I want it, totally reliable, dependable. Would fill up with gas and hit the Rd. and ride from Fl. to Ca. tomorrow if I needed to, in complete comfort....and not worry about not making it. You can't even do that with a 2001 car/truck anymore....

Wow! Nice Moto guzzi, love the color. I like the cafe culture and history. Moto Guzzi may have been the first to introduce a modern Cafe Racer. I've been using my CB750 this summer and will "cafe" it as a winter project.

Have a 2000 and 2004 Nomads both 1500s. The 2000 Nomad was suppose to be left alone without a lot of mods but that didn't last long. I am trying hard to hold off putting a trunk on it like I did the 2004 even though I have one ready for it
