I like the looks of 2 bikes yours which my cousin has one and the yahama venture, which has the same bag and trunk look. I would like to buy a touring motorcycle. I don't like the goldwing because of it's looks only. The BMW is too high for me. The HD is about 6000 more than the venture. Not any faster or better handling. But I never bought any thing new I can't see my self paying that much money at once and I never had a loan. So if some day the new HD prices come down which will make the used bikes come down in price I might buy one of those 2 bike. But for now I'll keep 1999 Suzuki LC1500 which is in perfect shape and I've spent alot of money and my own labor to make it just the way I like it.
