Hi, All,
I'm a 60 year old rider who has just sold my '01 Kawasaki W650 (yes; the Bonneville look-alike) and I thoroughly enjoyed that small thing for years, even as I grew bigger.....finally realized I need a bigger bike that actually is comfortable for my wife, too. I'm really stuck trying to decide between the CTX 1300 Deluxe with a backrest-tailbox versus the F6B. Anyone ridden both? Riding impressions? How about with your wife or significant other on the back? What do they report? Reliability? I know the basic monstro GoldWing is way too much for my tastes and the F6B is pushing it....but it felt delicious under me in the store....
Opinions? I'm also looking at a Triumph Trophy.....I need an upright riding position with pegs NOT pushed forward.
