Good day:
I'm a 68 year old returning rider having a devil of a time trying to decide on what motorcycle to buy. Last bike was a '84 VT500 Ascot.
I'm very seriously considering a new Suzuki TU250 or Honda CBR250 as I suspect a 250 would suit virtually all my riding needs but I also realize for a like amount of money (about $4k) I could get a larger machine although it would of course be older. A friend in NJ has a '95 Goldwing and keeps sending me copies of the GWRRA newsletters and he has me really wondering about these models.
As luck would have it I saw an ad locally for a '81 that looks very well maintained in photos (have not seen the bike in person).
Wondering if many/most of you use your GW as an all-arounder or do you have a smaller bike for local rides and mostly rely on the GW for touring - something I sadly doubt I would do much of.
Your comments welcome.
Thank you.
Ned
