Greetings!
Call it a mid-life crisis... This summer I got an idea in my head that motorcycling might be fun. In April, I used my tax return to buy a 2013 Suzuki SFV 650. It was a hoot! I got licensed, I got a ton of experience, and I learned that the seat on a bike like that is unbearable for more than about 45 minutes.
My brother is a good sales guy. The dealerships around here should hire him. After a few conversations, he convinced me that the next logical upgrade is the '14 N1K. After crunching numbers and begging for a deal at State8, they "let one go" for $9,200 plus a few doc fees.
What a great machine. Tons of power, fairly comfortable, and it's friggin beautiful to look at. Needless to say, I'm really happy with it. I'm at about 450 miles after picking it up a week ago today.
Next step is to locate the FSM and before next spring I want to add a Givi top box so my wife is a little more secure riding with.
Also want to mention, if you're ever in Ohio, one of the nicest roads is Rt 83 from Millersburg south to Waterford. It's hilly, twisy, technical, yet open enough that you rarely get surpised by traffic or debris when your pushing it.
Have fun!
