Default Traded for a VStar 1100 Custom

I just bought a Suzuki S50 this past July, my wife showed no interest in riding, so I thought I would keep the bike for a long time. Last night she wanted to ride with me. After the ride she complained about the roughness and there being no room for a passenger, every time we stopped or took off or shifted a little hard our helmets would hit. Well, that was all the excuse I needed, this morning I traded for a 2005 V Star 1100 Custom, it had a windshield, was lowered, and had 4800 miles. I had the dealer add saddlebags and a sissy bar and drove it home. The wife is not off work yet, but we will go for a ride this evening I hope. I love the bike, just have to get used to it. My Suzuki 805 had Cobra pipes and was loud, this one sounds like a Kawasaki 1000 Cop bike. I had a Yamaha 250 Catalina back in the 60s, so this is my second Yamaha. Here is a pic.
