Default Re: Help with picking out motorcycle?

No offense, but:

(1) The PC800 was a wife's answer to her husband's ST1100.
(2) The Hyosung is garbage.
(3) The Honda Rebel...if you weigh more than 85lbs, it will not get out of its own way and you'll get run over from behind on the highway.

Since you seem to like the PC800 so much, try shopping around for an ST1100...you just may be surprised by the prices compared to the PC800. I know several guys that have put in excess of 100,000 miles on their STs...and now they're riding ST1300s.

Given your talk of traveling by bike, I think you're on the right path with a sport-tourer. I put 300 miles on a borrowed 2003 VRod last week...absolutely miserable, I'd rather have been on a full-on race replica sportbike. Then again, I've done countless 300-600 mile days on sportbikes, never on a cruiser.
