I picked up a second bike a couple months age. I wanted something with no GPS, windshield, radio etc for around town. I picked up a 2016 Softail Slim S.
It's just what I needed.

My sixth bike will almost certainly be a dual sport to explore the gravel roads in the Jersey Pine Barrens.

To answer your question, try a Dyna if you want to stick with the MoCo, otherwise, look into a sportbike...

KTM or BMW Dual Sport complete with big old ugly silver boxes and a camera crew. Ride that thing around the world...

The V-rod was so fast, upon rapid acceleration, it appeared to have some sort of defect because it sputtered and surged. Turned out, the gas was so low that upon rapid acceleration, the small amount of the remaining gas sloshed and got pinned to the rear wall of the gas tank, simulating a momentary run-out-of-gas condition.

Heritage for me if I could afford a second bike.

Five here also ... Two HD's, a XT 600 Yamaha ( set up for Ice ), YZ490 Yamaha for some woods riding and a Suzuki SP 250 for around the property. Let's see now ... another scooter ... How 'bout a Hyabusa with a turbo and nitrous ... oh ya, a coffe cup holder too :>)
