Evening Chaps and Chapesses.
Looking for some advice on my cruiser dreams of the (hopefully) not too distant future.
Currently riding a GN250 (YEAH!), and looking to upgrade to a worthy hog sometime next year, so have been looking around and drooling already
i'm about 6 foot 2, and over a hundred kg's, so obviously the GN is just too small, so hoping once i'm on my R an exemption should be pretty easy to obtain (also, anyone who's gone through that process, advice would be appreciated.)
aaaaaanyways...
Been looking around a bit, and have currently got my eyes set on a Boulevard C50. anyone who has/does ride one with their thoughts on them? You reckon i'll handle the step up from the GN okay?
Have straddled a couple and they fit me like a glove, also fired one up and nearly needed a new pair of pants, so it seems like a pretty good bike for me.
I'm also very open to any other suggestions people may have. Still plenty of time left to look around and drool before i get my baby yet!
Criteria:
Not wanting to go to anything tooooo big in engine (at this stage anyways), but need something with a bit of boogie on the open road (as i havent ridden anything above the GN, so i really have no idea how powerful an 800cc V-Twin is), comfort for a long days riding, but can still get around in the traffic (i do live in auckland after all). Looking at doing a little touring (but not to the extent of spending weeks at a time on the road), so storage capabilities are also a factor (though not such a biggie so long as i can throw in enough for a three day weekend).
And of course, gotta have that dead sexy V-Twin grumble baby! *Grunts*
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers!
