get the hd and thank us later. you wont be near as tempted to over ride your skill . after learning you can make a better choice for next bike. but it will be a hd.
I've quite a bit of experience - just never had the endorsement until now which has me thinking it's bike time again.
Quickest bike I've run is the GSXR 750 but a sportbike doesn't interest me near as much as a naked/street fighter at this time.
Triumph street triple is the cats meow. It makes good power on the bottom and is more in tune for everyday street riding compared to a sport bike with all the power in the upper rpm range, plus it has a radiator and is lighter than the harley.

I have a Kawasaki ZZR1200 for playing on the street; fastest carbureted bike ever made. . .
That used to be my favorite sport tourer. Awesome. Love it!

I don't really miss my motocross days - dirt's out for me. Every once in a while - I get the itch. A 10 minute ride through the woods on my cousin's KTM kills that quick.
Thinking I'll keep my eyes open on CL this winter and look to rob someone errrr get a good deal with snow on the ground. And yeah - will probably end up HD but damn, that Yamaha has my interest up.
I'm still putting around on a '99 ZRX1100, fun commuter bike. Teal, you need a Kawasaki H2! Skip forward to 4:00 or so

I cleaned out my storage shed a couple days ago and unearthed my old last bike. It looks exactly like this (link) - in every detail except for a couple decades of dust and grime. One big cylinder, kick-start, lots'a torque, no downshifting necessary.
Am still thoroughly enjoying my 2009 Suzuki DL 650.
Have had up to 800 miles days, have done 200 miles of dirt in one day on it. Comfortable, decent handling. Not the best at anything, but a good general purpose bike.
Got no interest in a rolling couch. My cycle needs are primarily my work commute and then bumming around Door County and the UP. Zero interest in long range running or rallies or any of that stuff.

Plenty of pep for me, with that little twin 650.

I had one of those and it's certainly in the top 3 bikes I've owned. Not because it absolutely killed at anything, but because it did a bunch of stuff really, really well. 400 mile + road trip? Check. Respectable performance in the mountain twisties, yup! Not too much of a pig to take on moderate off road trails? Yes indeed. Tons of accessories and luggage options, very reliable, good dealer network, decent looking, good power for the size, and just a ball of fun.
I've had Ducatis, Kawasakis, Suzukis, a Yamaha, a Triumph, a few others (even an Excelsior Henderson) and enjoyed them all for what they were. Buy what trips your trigger right now, then send it down the road when you get an itch for something new. Before I gave it up I had the little V-Strom 650 and a Ducati Monster, which was a nice combo.
