I definately think I got the best bike on the market for me. Still if I could design my own bike I would change some stuff. For example I'm 6'5" tall so it wouldn't bother me at all if the bike was raised enough to get a 5 inch shock absorber on the back as well as the front. I'd also like the bikes lean angle before touching pegs to be much closer to the bikes traction limit which would be about 45 degrees. I'm addicted to leaning into turns. Some might say go with a sports bike but I prefer the seating position and styling of a cruiser.

I've already made my thoughts about the M50 known many posts back. As far as the Sportster goes, I'd go with the 04 and later with rubber mounted motor. I'd really prefer the Fat Boy.

yes because that is all i can afford still.... if my financial situation had changed a little more, i would say no then get a VTX 1300 or meanstreak or something like that. the bikes i really want (M109R, Warrior, VTX1800) are still too much $$ to even consider . |

Yes, I would still buy my bike. It's evrything I need it to be. With price not being an option, I might go different, but the Vol is a every good bike, not merely a good bike for the money. I enjoy the ride, and I get compliments everywhere i take it. Even when I ride with HD peopele, I still get my share, if not more, attention than they do. The only bike I really love by HD is the Road King, and if I wanted something a little more wild, maybe the V-Rod. That new M109R also has me thinking. All that babbling being said, the Vol is perfect for me right now. Great ride. |

Voted no. Love the M50, but I need (want?) a bigger bike. I gotta have torque, man. Mean Streak/M95 first, and I like the Warrior too - especially that Midnight version. After that it would probably be a Bandit1200 or an SV1000. As for that SV; how do shorter people even ride that? I'm 6'-5", and with my feet flat on the ground my @ss is still on the seat. Now that's a tall bike. |

I would not buy my Kat again. This is not because I dislike my Kat, it has been reliable, a blast to ride & today the '90 Kat still turns heads, some think it is a new bike. About one month ago the odometer turned 15000 miles. I am interested in the Yamaha FJR 1300 ABS. I have found that the sport bikes are too small for me, I like a more upright riding position. |

No... In hindsight, I probably would have gotten a Volusia instead...
