Re: Help with picking out motorcycle?
I have looked hard at the three mentioned and I'm drawn to the C-50T but, I'm very impressed with the Tiger. The Tiger sort of looks a little like the croch rockets but, not having been to see one yet the pictures may just fool me to much. I have not looked at Yamaha's but would like recommendation on all brands. The Honda Pacific is nice but far and few between. I did find a Pacific locally but, rode hard and put away wet.

You have to see the Tiger in the flesh to see that it is nothing like a crotch rocket - it was first touted as an enduro style machine - an all rounder - it truly sucked off-road though but it does have the Paris Dakar look going on - one word of caution though - it is a tall bike - if you are under 6' then I would not recommend it.
It does have an absolutely bomb proof engine that for a triple is as smooth as they come. Its a fun machine.

Re: Help with picking out motorcycle?
Big Dad no doubt on your call but, cost is in the top critiera. Not the top but, have to consider strongly.
Andy I do plan on seeing a Tiger to see how much rider sits upright. I have mistreated my body so much from my all out attitude playing sports. It was always "if your not first then you must be last", plus now going to be 51 in fall I have developed deginerative vertebrea in neck. I have also got some deginerative disc in lumbar.
I most likely did not explain this as part of the choice more than just saying a really smooth ride. Some of you know I have literally come back from the death or near death many times last 41/2 years. It has been due to just illness but, much has been one illness while fixing it up then brings on another then while the next solved I have another problem. Been in agent orange in my really young days when farmers used it like crazy. My growing up in farming and farming most my life I was in it till it was baned. Seriously do not put any blame there. Later in 30's "jumped from perfectly good airplanes" as was the not so funny joke after you heard it said to you for I cannot even count how many times. I just have been a thrill seeker and think it caught up to my body.
I could use some suggestions in Yamaha bikes similar to what others that have been suggested or any make.
Thanks for those who hang in for my search.

Re: Help with picking out motorcycle?
HD is having sales problems right now (was on the news last night) because of the economy...
Look for dealers to cut prices on new & used bikes which will mean private party used prices will drop also...
