Help with picking out motorcycle?

[Vettster]

Thats a tough one Taz. You want a lot of bike yet want it at a low price.
Now is a tougher time for the buyer (spring) although, with the economy heading the way it is there could be some good deals out there.

One that comes to mind is the Honda, Pacific Coast.
It is a 800 and has bags, windshield, good fuel economy, can go 2 up and is reliable. (It's a Honda)

I don't know what they are like price wise. They seem to have quite a following.

Over the years I've owned 3 cycles and 1 scooter, a Cushman Super Eagel...have maybe 80000 miles on 2 wheelers...

The big thing to remember is that motorcycles fall into 2 catigories:

Harley Davidson

&

all the rest

One of the requirements he mentions is "low price".
That immediately ruled out anything from HD or BMW.

Vettster, good call on the Pacific Coast. Nice multi-purpose motorcycle and in a competitive price range. From Taz's description of what he is looking for and with his experience with Suzuki's, I would recommend the Suzuki C-50T Boulevard. Comes from the factory with a two up seat, small (yet more than adequate) passenger backrest, windshield, and saddlebags. This in a very affordable price as well.

Take a look at the new Triumph Tiger - great looking bike - fun to ride and an excellent tourer if needed.

NUMBERS 1, 2 & 3 things more important then price are...

reliability
service

The Tiger - I am getting one of these when I get back from Korea - rode it a couple of months ago and loved it.
