Re: Help with picking out motorcycle?
Take a look at the new Triumph Tiger - great looking bike - fun to ride and an excellent tourer if needed.

Re: Help with picking out motorcycle?
Thanks ALL!!!! Everyone keep up with ideas.
The Honda Pacific Coast, Suzuki C-50 T, and Triumph Tiger will begin my search. Boy these are great suggestions. I do plan on looking 1990 or newer just so I find a reliable one. I watched a BMW recently that was an awsome looking ride and was in the older range but, was on EBAY and far off. It had 2500 miles and some deliver scuffs and the guy just did not ride it. So I watch BMW but, almost any Harley is out there. I have seen some nice new ones.
I will not be taking long trips or anything just local and then maybe to Dallas or Nashville once or twice a year total. I just want MPG and real smooth ride as age will not bother me if I can find that reliable one with some looks.
Thanks on the great calls you have given me to start my search. If you happen to be spending time looking at bikes anything you spot within 200 miles of Little Rock, Arkansas I will take a hard look so your time is not wasted and perhaps we can work out a bird dog fee.

Re: Help with picking out motorcycle?
Let us know what you come up with Taz.
If theres one thing I love to do it's spending money (even someone else's) on motorcycles. |

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.
