If they truly do give me the $6500 in trade....I'm not sure I can pass that offer up. Coupled with the Costco discount....that really is a pretty sweet deal.

I'm a little surprised everyone likes the White/Gold one so much. It is a unique color combo for sure....and I too picked that one over the other when looking at them side by side....

I think you got as good a price on your bike as you ever will Kris, if your going to move up this may be the perfect time for you. I'm not sure if I'd be in love with the colors offered either, but sometimes they grow on you after a while.
My favorite was the red/black Voyagers.

I dunno Kris. You should think about it. At the very least give me first shot at your Premeux trunk.

GO FOR IT!!!!!

White stays cleaner & there aren't as many white bikes as there are black. I plan to ride my Vaquero till it's paid off and buy something else. No more trading or selling, the joy of being single I can keep what I like.

Have you ridden a Voyager? Just asking the question.

I say go for it!

CJ....I rode one at the 2010 SW Rally while in Arches NP....but never got it up over 35 mph. I asked to test ride it today....but they wanted all the paperwork up front since it has no miles on it. They will let me ride it....but they want all the paperwork in order beforehand in case I wreck it and if I don't like it...I don't have to buy it. It seems comfortable enough...but thats only sitting on it.

Oh yeah, I remember that - you traded bikes with someone and I had to go chase you down because you didn't leave your keys for the other guy.

Tough decision. Is this for the ABS model?

tazfl · 07-29-2012, 02:33 AM

I'll be different...go for the black / grey.....I just don't care much for white bikes. Either way I think you'll probably love the voyager

It is almost unanimous and you must get the white and gold model!!!

slumberjer · 07-28-2012, 11:20 PM

even for the price of USD20k I don't mind paying for the vaquero..I wish..unfortunately here in Malaysia I have to pay +-USD40k to get it..

duffy · 07-28-2012, 11:41 PM

Listen to the voice of reason Kris...............buy the white and gold one NOW. You only live once and you know you deserve it.

That is an excellent trade in price for the Nomad.

**schoeney** · 07-29-2012, 12:08 AM

White/Gold is safer, easier to keep clean. Is the trunk really that much smaller?
