Well, the replacement is a 2003 Suzuki SV650S, a bit different from a Goldwing. I went to see it yesterday, had a test ride (on a gravel road, no less), everything seemed fine. The seller delivered it from Green Valley, ON to Ottawa, it's in the garage now, should be registered today. I admit to being a geezer, but not yet a sedate geezer.
Edit to add: And (!), it has a Ninja ZX14 shock to replace the stock one, so I can legitimately still call myself concoursowner on eBay. Oooeee.
Congrats!!
I
loved my SV, unfortunately I had a teenage volleyball injury with my knee that caused a negative impact with comfort on that bike. My DL650 has been the answer. Still have my '03 Connie.
Happy miles with your new ride!!
