Honda has a ton of nice bikes that you can pick up used for a great price. I've been riding with a buddy that has a Suzuki M50 it's a very nice bike and seems to run between 4-5 grand used. Anybody that cares what YOU are riding has some issues they should probably resolve. There are lots of great bikes out there, enjoy and ride safe.

I love Harley's. I started riding only a year and a half ago at age 52 and I have had four. I wanted to ride Harley's my entire life, and finally said it's now or never. I started with a Sportster 1200, quickly moved to a super glide, then the anniver edition wide glide, and finally said why not get what I really want. So now I ride a 2008 RKC and absolutely love it. I couldn't imagine owning anything else, unless......
I live in Ohio and store the bike at the local Harley dealer over the winter because it's the only way I can get my car in the garage. And if this winter is going to be like last, I will be very depressed not being able to ride. But my parents have a house in Florida and my dad doesn't have too much longer (three packs a day for most of his life). I'm thinking of getting a bike for down there so I can go down and spend more time with them. I'll see my dad a little while he's still here, and go visit mom a little more often when he's gone. But I really can't afford much for another bike. I'm looking to spend only around $8500. The sportster was really too small for me so a used one is out of the question. Any used Harley for that much probably has a lot of miles on it, and I am no mechanic. For the times I go down to Florida, about once every three to four months, I don't want to spend my limited time getting my bike fixed if something's wrong. So (and this is the part you need to forgive me for) I actually looked at the new Yamaha 1300. Kind of reminds me of a small Road King (believe me, I know it's no Harley). But at least I could have a bike to keep in a garage and go ride when I'm visiting. I'd fly down, unplug the battery tender, and off to ride the bike up and down the gulf coast. Is that so wrong? Ok, let's hear it.

Yes, and a quick disc shield, xied's, cycle shack slip ons, more chrome trinkets than you can imagine. It really is a great scoot and I wish I could of kept it and still bought the Ultra. I had 18k into it. There is a pic of it on their site in the pre-owned section.
