Thats kinda where i was going with my "non-sports bike sports bike" thread....
I'd really like to buy a street bike that has top quality components.

I get what you are saying Maha, Bling is for posers.
So they can sit back stroking their members whislt admiring their new tail tidy or pansy arse rim stripes. I mean fucken rim stripes? where'd they earn their rim stripes - Fuken FAGS I tell ya.
You know they're completely beyond redemption when they have leathers to match their bike or even worse wear white boots.
If a mod makes it go faster either in a straight line or around a corner why the fuck not, it's akin to buying a 1300 when a 600 would suffice, and who would do that?
I'm considering offering Crasherfromwayback my left testicle in exhange for a Rocker. That way he gets a left testicle to replace the one he lost lending someone with a broken Buell another Buell.
Mind you the only mods I would consider would be the one WMCC does to the mufflers. Fruity but not ear bleeding loud.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
Why mod?why not,waste of money? if its not to you then its not a waste of money.I particulay like one off things like the clear clutch cover on my old TLS,there was 30 of us the world over wanted them and a guy in the states had a mate in Germany who made them for us,blingy bullshit for sure but i and most i come across think its pretty neat.As for when its time to sell the bikes worth no more with all the xtras at all but then its no problem to take them all off and put the oem stuff back on and sell the good bits seperate.Motorcycling is such an individual thing i dont believe theres any right/wrong,just do what ever floats your boat,when i am on my deathbed and i look back at my life on 2 wheels the amount of money i spent on each bike wont be in my thoughts,how much i enjoyed them will be.

where opinion holds more weight than fact.
It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.
If you have to ask, you'll never understand.
But for what it's worth I'll try and explain my perspective:
First up pick a bike that is within your budget that most closely approximates your ideal. Then over time add, modify, remove or replace parts to bring said bike closer to your ideal.
Basically there is no guy/gurl in a factory who is willing or able to build a bike that ticks all my boxes, so I take what appeals and make it even more appealing....to me.
Personally, it's like an itch that I have to scratch, I've owned a number of bikes and have put mods on them all. And as far as mods go, you should see what's on offer for the GS I currently ride, trouble is you need lots of $$$$$$$$$$
There is a grey on grey on silver one at my local HD dealer and a blue sparkly one - the grey looks like a serious custom beast that someone has built (very nice) it makes the blue one look a bit of a poser IMO.
Grey beast is desirable. Problem is - what would I have to mod![]()
That Black/grey one is the one that I like too. The Blue one is the Rocker C (for Custom) and is a bit of a tart's handbag if you ask me. The base model looks like a Motorcycle (tm), if you know what I mean.
I done rode one a while back, as you well know. It has etched a mark upon my soul.
