Pending him handin' me the ca$h in the morning. I'm thinking Kawasaki Concours 1400 maybe a low mileage Interstate <---no black or Goldwing and I will buy used.Keep a eye out for me on the Wing I'd like white , yellow ,black or silver in that order don't really care for the other colors on the Goldwing . And the closer to K-Town Tennessee the better.

Sweet! My next is for sure a Triumph Sprint ST. I love the lines, the single rear swingarm and the sound of that triple at 10kRPMS is to die for.

Be sure to let us know when you figure out what's next.

I could see why you like this bike....Honda ST 1300 / Yamaha FJR 1300 / Kawasaki Concours 1400 the sport touring range is pretty sweet in today's market.

I had a St1300 and it was nice, but a little too much touring and not enough sport. Don't get me wrong, it was fast with low 11's in the 1/4 mile at around 120mph but it was also heavy and even though it handled good for it's weight, the weight was still there and I wanted something "less"!

The Sprint has all I want in a ST bike. It is lighter than the others, but still heavier and roomier than a GSX-R or the like. It's powerful enough, especially with the low weight. It handles great and the sound of a 1050 Triple with aftermarket pipes is to die for. The stock pipes aren't bad either Smile

Yep, definately my next bike.

I here ya' George. I love the way they sound, I followed one home about 4 months ago! All the reviews that I have read, say it's a very awesome bike and will do what most of the other bikes in it's class will do.

I'm working on a scheme to keep the X and buy it too. I'd have to cash in my 401K, but I've only been saving in it for a year now so it's not like I woudl be loosing a lot time wise to start over. Besides it's (401K) loosing money and I might as well cash out while I have enough money in there to buy another bike Smile
