I agree Redjay. I can't stand the fairing. And the natural leather seat stitching looks like it came from a couch you would find in a 1950s brothel. Just my stupid opinion. I hope nobody gets offended.

I don't understand your comment
I said I would never spend that much on a toy. I didn't say I couldn't afford to spend that much on a toy

What do we have in that price range? A full boat Gold Wing, K1600s, HD Limited and RG Ultra and the Roadmaster. It might be fun to try them all. Can't knock it until I ride it, but it's a lot of scarole for any bike on that list. My question would be, do you ride two up a lot? If not, there are less expensive choices. There are less expensive choices if you do. It's only money.

Congrats Sheps...... here's hoping you get it soon and in the color you want.
Don't let anyone discourage you. It's your decision...your money.

I think they are a beautiful machine. An am told they ride and drive as good as they look. The face of the fairing is unique and not my first choice in styling. But overall an impressive machine.
To each his own. Ride safe, Smokier

Don't forget the Can-Am Spyder RT line. They run from the low 20s to about $30k.

I don't think I've ever seen a more shallow bunch of people. "I would NEVER even consider one because someone else might not like the looks." Doesn't matter if it is the most powerful, most comfortable, most feature filled, most inexpensive bike in the world. As long as you impress others, it's all good. :(

I don't think of them as motorcycles.
