Buddy of mine told me I was insane, I'm getting a Harley. He was convincing. Bought a '91 FXR for $6400. smh

I'm limiting myself in the price of the bike because I want to keep it reasonably affordable. I can afford a much much more expensive bike, but I really don't want to.
If I didn't care about the cost of a bike I would be getting this (I can easily afford it)

Because of this.
I've had my fill of big powerful bikes that you really can't utilize even a quarter of their potential without breaking several laws and risking jail time. I love my VFR, but it's a hard bike to really enjoy.
A cheaper, smaller, slower bike like the ones I am looking at are just so much more fun, and can be practical too.
I may even keep my VFR and just put it down and take it apart to perform a bunch of in-depth maintenance and some small repairs to. Like I said, I do love it. I just don't enjoy it as much these days. I can go buy any of the bikes I named right now without hurting myself in the slightest.
