Naval Architect, was working around the world.
Always was on adventure bikes but got a shoulder injury and can't use now a KTM 890 as planned.
Bought a CTX1300 Deluxe with 12.5k miles instead as a transition bike and love it. Guess I gonna keep it for a long time.
V-4 and shaft combination is awesome!

Welcome, bambr, from London, Ontario. I have also had both ADV and sport-touring bikes in the past, but fell in love with my CTX1300. It is a fantastic bike, superbly comfortable and user friendly. Love the low seat height!
Cheers,
Bruce

Back story: Girlfriend finally gave the green light, so bought the CTX the next day. Was eyeing something similar that would be suitable for touring with a passenger for weekend trips and came across an awesome deal locally. All of my neighbor-buddies have bikes. Never even sat on a seat until I purchased this CTX1300 base. Just got permit this morning.

Super excited and glad to e-meet you all. First post! 🤘

Be sure to take the Motorcycle Safety Course (MSC) and ride it easy until you gain confidence. The MSC can be found usually at local community colleges or perhaps even through a dealership for some brands of bikes.
