Hello everyone!
I'm Ron and I just joined today. Im 30 and have had a number of interesting bikes and would like to own a few more!
I've always been a big fan of v-twin power. My other vtwins have included a yamaha mto1 and a ducati 1098. My current bike is a 2008 Suzuki m109r
I'm looking at if I want a RC51 or a TLR or a hayabusa. . I'm a pretty tall guy about 220 lbs and most sporty bikes don't fit me well. I've had a hayabusa in the house which belongs to my brother back in 2001 which I used to borrow and it's a pretty comfortable ride I could picture myself using for trips or even commuting. I am even considering a 2000-2007 style hayabusa that is well taken care of.
I've always loved the Honda but I've heard it's uncomfortable. I recently remembered the tlr and wondered if I'd enjoy that. . Keep in mind I'm not in it for just performance (I don't try speeding or riding aggressively) but more for fun and a little touring, I'm no show off! Some would say I ride like a grandpa most of the time. I just take time to enjoy the view . I'm glad my 1098 was stolen only 6 months after owning it because that thing was way to small and uncomfortable for me.
I'm hoping to spend maybe $5000. Can I get a nice reasonable bike in that range? Wouldn't mind if it had some pipes and a fuel controller, perhaps a TRE if it needs... But I'm not a fan of lowering kits or stretched or chromed... Just clean!
Ever since I've got rid of my 82 cb900f id like something sporty again! Would go well with my 109 with Vance and Hines pipes.
Thanks everyone
