"My only concern will be the need to take my time getting used to the "difference in size from my old one. "
No need for concern. I hadn't ridden for over twenty years, bought a new M50 Suzuki in 07 and my Nomad last summer. It took very little time to adjust to the larger bike. The hardest part is low speed maneuvering, like a parking lot. On the road, it feels light and nimble. I switch between the two bikes regularly, depending on the type of ride. |

Welcome from Saskatchewan, Canada. You're going to love your Nomad! A few rides to get used to the size, and you'll be purring down the highway.

Welcome from West Central Ohio, put her in the garage, kick up your feet, the DTN weather site that ODOT is paying for, is calling for about 10-12 inches of snow this next week. Right about now spring is looking pretty far away!

Welcome from Central North Carolina. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. You'll love the bike and all you can do to it to make it yours!
You may want to start with getting all the warning stickers off, probably the first "mod" that I did.
