| Just wanted everyone to know I have switched from cruiser to Sport Touring. I have recently purchased a 2006 Honda ST1300 off of ebay. I am excited b/c I have loved the looks of this type of bike for the last couple of years and finally got the opportunity to purchase one. I am going to sell my 98 Intruder LC but I am not in any hurry. So everyone keep your ears open for anyone looking for a nice classic cruiser.

| I feel that one may get neglected and I may need to money to pay off the loan of the new one. Don't get me wrong I am in no hurry to sale but everything is for sale at the right price.

| CONGRATS! I've always been concerned with buying a bike/auto off of EBAY. Hope all works out with the new bike. Maybe you can keep both bikes. I understand the Honda will ride totally different from the Intruder, so keeping both lets you ride the one fitting your mood.

Well a bought a Kawasaki Concour. I tell you it rides alot differncent from my LC1500. But I'm keeping both . The LC for the weekends with the Misses.

| Ebay transaction went well. The only reason I considered to buy this bike is due to it being only 2 hours from where I live. At the end of the auction I was contacted immediately from the seller. Super nice man, the bike was exactly what the pictures showed on ebay. I gave him the appropriate funds and he even helped me load up the bike on the trailer. I was even able to purchase an extra set of tires from the genleman. The only reason the seller was selling the bike is he also had a BMW touring bike that was his primary bike. The honda I bought was only 1 year ago with 2800 miles. I was finally able to ride the Honda yesterday and the first thing I noticed was how nimble it was. The bike cruised well and really like the electric adjustable windshield. It is going to take a little getting use to due the different riding position and riding on pegs and not floorboards. Well that is all for now and thanks for the input/additional comments. |
