You guys are hilarious. Spoke with a DL1000 owner this PM, and we agreed that all motorcycle are fun to ride. Limiting oneself with motorcycles is like dating only blondes. LOTS TO BE SAID FOR BRUNETTES AND REDHEADS...
I've banned members for less...and you did it TWICE!You loved it or you would have deleted it. It is rather large. Not sure it would properly fit on the pillion seat of our 14's.

Actually I'm thinking about moving the entire thread, but that's really up to Max now.
I'm gonna disregard all the junk in the trunk, and say I'm in the tank for either a CB1100 or a Vstrom1000.The DL1000 VStrom gets my support vote. Not overly aggressive, like a Multistrada, but able to take you from coast to coast in adventure comfort. The 1100 is really an around town bike, but I'm sure lots of owners use them for much more. Would require trial and error to get the wind screen right, and correct bags and trunk, to make it a traveling rig, with usefulness anywhere close to C14,

Either one of those is going to be culture shock after the C14. Kind of like me going from an Electra Glide to a C14. I dig the retro look of the CB though.
Tall adventure steeds may get tiresome. What about a fun standard like the CB1100? You could move out of the cruiser and Guzzi.

Wait a minute now. How about just stripping the divergence from the original thread. I don't want my thread going to the cesspool.
I wouldn't call "It's not a Concours -other Bikes" a cesspool! Besides, it had a long run in the other forum. The main problem would be trying to determine where the divergence is. Plus, I have to say, the mod tools for moving select postings from one place to another are very unfriendly in SMF (much worse than others I am used to).

Cycleworld thinks they are a good S/T mount. I had customers who complained about engine vibes at highway+ speeds, that manifested themselves in the bars and pegs. The GT is an updated version of the ST. Ergos similar to the C14, but at a much lower weight. Kind of like the Versys or Ninja 650R, but with half again as much power
