Newb from Florida

jasonc32amg · 12-16-2010, 08:52 PM

Hey folks,

New guy here researching the Nomads. My current rides are an 08 zx10 and an 09 klr 650. I've had mostly Kawasaki's since I was 8 years old and now that I'm looking for a more relaxed ride the Nomad 1600 is looking to fit the bill. I really love the look of the new voyager but I don't want to drop that kind of money right now. I'm going to go check out an '05 with @ 8,000 miles on it and see if I can make a deal. This forum is a wealth of information.
