El Diente - I&...Thank you everyone for your input.<br /><br />El Diente - I'd love the V7 but I'm too frugal right now and I have a tendency to agree with Trouabour when he says I should probably go with something smaller for a year or so then step up. <br /><br />Rob - I am not too keen on the cruiser type bikes. Standard is more to my liking. I don't even like the car seats tilted back at all. But it is a sweet looking bike.<br /><br />Bobskoot - I m sure it will be a 250. The used Bonneville is the demo model and they still have it in Eugene, but it is almsot double price of a TU 250 and over a 100 lbs heavier. So, probably not great as my first choice no matter how pretty it is. And when sitting on the two the size feels quite close.<br /><br />Sonja - Welcome to Vancouver! I too like the BMW's but after the Ninja I don't know if I'd like something that seems so bulky in the front end. Not that it has a faring or anything. Nice to know I'm not the only one who can't make up her mind.<br /><br />I am sure I'll end up with the TU 250. I really do like the bike, but wonder if I am passionate enough about riding. I seem indifferent sometimes and I think that drives Troubadour nuts.<br /><br />I worry about spending the money but Troubadour claims he'll flog it back and forth to work for fun. I won't commute with it, as I won't get dressed in full battle regalia for only 3 miles.<br /><br />One thing about the TU is that if for some reason we don't think it suits us it will be easy to sell. There are NO used ones around.<br /><br />Cheers!Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-60012479867451363142010-03-11T19:41:04.430-08:002010-03-11T19:41:04.430-08:00I had the same thoughts when I started shopping fo...I had the same thoughts when I started shopping for a bike (and I haven't made my decision yet...). The Bonnie and the Guzzi were high on my list. Unfortunately the dealer network for the Italian beauty is rather non-existent in Canada, and than the BMW F or G650 made its way up to the top. My heart still goes out to the Brit bike, but it is quite heavy and doesn't have ABS. I guess that's why I tend toward the German bike.<br />Good hunting!

Get what you are comfortable with, perhaps something in the 250cc range and move up later after more road experience.<br /> What happened to the used Bonneville that was there last time ? Preowned is another option<br /><br />bob <br /><a href="%E2%80%9Dwww.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com%E2%80%9D" rel="nofollow">bobskoot: wet coast scootin</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-14506054263082589012010-03-06T11:26:21.707-08:002010-03-06T11:26:21.707-08:00Congratulations on the sale of the bike.

That Tiger he's looking at is a good bike, but a totally different ride to his America.<br /><br />Those bikes you're looking at are nice, and though they seem to be heavy, they're easy to handle, and not too fast. The V7 is really cool, it'd suit you.<br /><br />Still, enjoy your window shopping for the new bike, its (almost) the best part.El Dientehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10946212402576447854noreply@blogger.com
