Supporting the economy by getting a new (used) motorcycle
Picking it up next week when it stops raining
So stoked. Got rid of my old 250cc supermoto and moving back towards cruiser types
Perhaps one day I can afford an actual Harley Davidson

Apparently its the Honda racing colors, but our flag is red, white and blue too
Quite a lot of countries have red, white and blue
This is a small(ish) bike because I will mostly be doing my 20k commute on it
But one day I would like to have a big heavy cruiser (HD Road King or something). I just hope we can still use petrol when that time comes. Here new fuel burning cars will be banned after 2030

Oh wow, a ban? Youre right about Red, White and Blue. France has those colors too. Its like the Universal colors of Democracy or something.
Perhaps they will make electric ones that feel like gas hogs 
Just realized that once laws change to reduce fuel emissions, old skool bikers are going to flip out!

Have you ridden a Harley? I've rented a couple now.
I think they're trash, personally. It's like riding something that was made in 1950 and is only good a low-mid speed cruising and does nothing else well.
Not my cup of tea at all. I don't intend to ever ride one again, and I LOVE bikes.
Nonetheless, congratulations on the new Honda!!

I have sat on a few Harleys but never actually ridden one. Perhaps Im falling for the marketing
Love the sound and the mechanical nature though, and the are pretty comfy to sit on at least
Would never get something with a radio and speakers, to me thats just weird. Might as well get a car
My first bike was a raked out 600cc Shadow, kinda stoked to get back to the Shadow template. No need to go fast I just want something thats relaxed and moves through traffic with relative ease.
I know you like speed, I have seen your UK bike

A Harley won't move through traffic with relative ease. You may as well try and navigate a boat through traffic. They're not built to filter.
If you want a machine that's comfy a hell and carves through the cars, you want something upright, like a BMW GS.
This form factor is impeccable for dealing with a city. Lots of power down low too:
There's a good reason you don't see people commuting on Harleys.

I was gonna say, if u love Street bikes then youre probably not gonna like a Harley/Chopper bike. They are just so different.
Someday i want a custom Chopper, maybe UFO themed or Overwatch themed. Thatd be amazing (and super expensive)

This was my old bike. Best traffic bike ever but not really suited for the highway
Ideally I would have multiple bikes, but the BMWs are great at handling almost anything you throw at them.
Personally I have a preference for minimalistic things and I really like bikes that are just engines with wheels on them
Its a shame that aspects that make a bike great at one thing usually make it not so great at another. Like my CRF, super easy to handle and flick around cars because it weights nothing, but same lack of weight makes it swerve around and unplanted at high speed.
Also not the best for making daytrips although it can be done obvioulsy.
People go around the world on 50cc bikes
I think my new bike will be a great allrounder for me. And Im sorta switch bikes every two years anyway. Still finding out what I like:
600cc chopper
900cc Naked
250cc Moto
750cc Standard/cruisery
Who knows whats next

Yep. Two bikes is ideal, three is better!
1. Fun bike
2. Commuter (Summer)
3. Commuter (Winter)
I think the bigger BMW's have the best of all worlds.
A Harley would rust like hell used in Winter.

Nice, I had a Shadow 750 a few years back and loved the thing.
My favorite was my Yamaha dual sport:
Did a bunch of work on it to get it comfortable flying down the highway. Only got rid of it because it was too much of a hassle to get to any trails worth riding

I adore motorbikes but i basically know nothing about them. It's something i've always wanted to get into. Except for that Harly that JSB post, all these bikes looks hella sweet to me.. I personally liked your old bike more (strictly ascetically speaking) than your new one, but the Honder looks sweet as fuck too. It reminds me of the 'Angel' from the older GTA games.

Check out my bike! In my avatar. It filters through traffic like none other. You can whip it's tail around 180 degrees by hand in a second if you stuck in a jam! You can hop it over any curb or grass median, ride off the road into the woods and out the other side to evade the cops and road ragers! Jk. But those aspects do make it a great bike style to consider as part of your collection. Plus it's virtually bullet proof, as a blue printed 1970s 2 stroke it's indestructible and extremely cheap to fix. It's an apocalypse bike because it will move you through untracked terrain with ease across any continent and its street legal. It gets 50+ mpg It does not depend on a battery and can run without the electric system on if you want to ride in complete darkeness stealth mode.. For me right now it's my favorite, and anything heavier seems like a burden to me
