Well after my 2300 mile trip last March and giving the fact my kids are older now (teens) and I can ride two-up with them safely I've been toying with the idea of getting something bigger than the VFR.
I've wanted a duel sport for some time, so I looked at the BMW R1150GS and I honestly love that bike. But the BMW dealer just did not want to deal and I am an impatient soul and did not want to go through the process of looking for a good used bike and then have to deal with selling the VFR.
So my other number one choice was an ST1300 (Yes I know, much different from the GS). I talked to the dealer and he said no to what I wanted for trade (did not surprise me). Not a big deal I did not need the ST that bad.
Two hours later I am sitting in my office and he calls and says he will give me the trade in amount I wanted if I come in and sign the deal. Well his trade in offer was only a few hundred dollars less than what I could sell the bike for by myself so I could not resist. It must have been a really slow sales day.
I take delivery next week sometime.
I'm going to miss the VFR, but the ST will fit in her place nicely. I'll have some VFR stuff for sale in a few weeks.
Now it's time to look for a used KLR. That is if Kim does not kill me first for buying this bike.
