A Toad would better suit you. In fact, you'd soon learn that it's the best motorcycle you've ever owned.
But you won't buy one. Ya, but what woman is gonna see that thing and decide right then and there that she wants to screw your lights out? You of all people should know this. I need to set up a Viagra booth at Sturgis, I’d make a million. I’d sell blood pressure meds and nitroglycerine pills too. This is just a guess, but you may be mis- interrupting what those women mean when they say they're going to turn your lights out. Next time, check em for clenched fists. No, not at all. It’s women who do the choosing. Anyhoo.... ain’t slept with a woman other than my ex in like 30 years So I’ll be needing lots of chrome, and straight pipes...... So the woman's sexual response thing is like the Tierra del Fuego, something you've just read about.

I like the Norton, but is that a mercury edit comet in the back? That's not the Norton. It's a 77 Harley XLCR. The old car in the back in a Datsun. Test rode one of those in 1978. Slow handling, buzzy, neat as all get out! Worth a ton of money now!

I dunno about you, but I always used extra-sensitive condoms....... ......so they would stay away and talk to her afterwards. Can we get back to motorcycles?

Try a BMW R1250R when they become available. You'll get rid of the Burgman ASAP.
Paddler, from one Campfire Pariah to another..... Now that you have recommended the R1250R, I wouldn’t touch one with a 12ft pole, and you’ve already taken the DR650 forever off of the table. Please stop. I like the KTM's, too. The African Twin is a really good bike according to the reviews. I really wanted a Harley in the mid 90's, I think it was the Dyna Wide Glide. Rode a Kawasaki dirt bike once, really easy to ride. Always thought highly of the 750 Gixxer, too. Wanted to buy a Yamaha 350 in high school, no money. I think I've covered most of the brands. Guess you could always buy a Husky, or Aprillia, or Ducati. Never really seriously considered those. You're missing out on my first two recommendations, though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8353a1PWJqshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spAq8JuXVUY

Birdie I was just teasing you as you seem a good sport. I could care less about your condoms, however that came about.

Burgmans acquit themselves quite well on the road. They are smooth, fuel efficient and can hang all day at interstate speeds. The built in storage is the size of a large suitcase. You can pull off a week long tour with the integral storage space. They can be silly fun too. I may have giggled quite a bit carving up packs of pirates in the twisties.

Burgman riders remind me of Tesla owners.
Even if you don't end up buying one, the engineering/design of them is pretty cool.

I was cruising down a rural backroad on my Burgman one afternoon. I saw a shapely young woman walking out to her mailbox. She paused and stared at me as I approached. She smiled ear to ear and started to lift her hand to wave. As I got right beside her, presumably as soon as the step-through became apparent, her hand dropped and her smile turned to a look of bewilderment. I am sure she thought she was about to put a move on a sport biker for a minute. The Burgman presents as one from the front.

I've had many people come up to me and ask if I wanted to sell mine. Most of them had never seen one before. I tell them, "No,....I'd just have to go and buy another one".

But you won't buy one. Ya, but what woman is gonna see that thing and decide right then and there that she wants to screw your lights out? If I've got to tote a woman around on the back of a motorcycle to get her puzzy,...she can keep it. I don't want her ass tagging along back there and messing up my ride. Besides,..the aphrodisiac qualities of motorcycles has been highly over-stated. If you're old, ugly, and buy a $20,000 Harley, you're just another old, ugly fug on a $20,000 Harley. They seem to represent a genre. Yeah,...you might be able to pick up some old gal in the Walmart parking lot with it. But you also could have picked her up with a pack of bologny and a loaf of bread. In fact,..if you *do* pick up a woman with a Harley, you damn well better have some bologny and bread waiting back at your apartment. ,....and you'll need some good laundry detergent to wash the mustard stains out of the pillowcase afterwards.

Well. back in my Harley days I was neither old nor ugly and my blond and blue girlfriend at the time said that bike was like a 500 pound dil do. Okay it did wiggle a bit not being all rubber mounted and all. I could look in the mirrors and tell that there was something behind me, but I couldn't make out real clear if it was a Kia or a Kenworth. A bunch of us rented a condo during Bike Week at Stirgus and one of the guys rented a rubber mounted full dresser FL Harley to have as a spare just in case. Jeanie and I took that thing one day and it was so smooth it was boring. Given the choice she wanted to ride on mine, the motorcycle I mean, oh and that too. A rather good week riding dirt bikes and Harley's.
My other auto is a .45

Funny thing, I rode for many years, and virtually all my biker friends had women flash boobies at them. Even the evangelical Christian, on an R50 Beemer! Not me! Anyway, the other day I was strolling through a local emporium in all black leathers, including chaps, carrying my helmet. Every single female looked and smiled. Just as good as boobies at my age! Maybe I just looked pathetic. I'll take it anyway! The woman never really rode before, and is 65. She rides horses, and does well on the bike. Very small, so not much of an issue . Seems to like it. Never rode 2 up much. The Lowrider is heavy enough with slow enough steering that her inputs are not very noticable. Pretty proud of her for trying something new. I'm being VERY conservative riding with her. Not a bad thing, I guess.

Birdie? The Green Machine? I always hoped some day I could get a Superbike and put lights on it, maybe a milder cam and some stuffing in the megaphone. But yep, Superbike.
There's nothing like a well-set up naked bike. Not too loud, not too flashy, but the best rubber and suspension bits you can get. I mean, grab a little attention, but don't announce yourself.
I remember one day, there was this one section on the way to Mount Evans. The pavement was only about two years old, good integrity, and this particular part had really good sight lines, beautiful day (no scary black clouds), and no traffic. So I made one pass up and down, then another, and for the NEXT two, I had an audience, people actually walked down to the roadside from the pullouts and were watching, taking pictures, little kids jumping up and down, thumbs up from the grownups. Figured I'd better go home while the going was still good. But that was pretty cool.
