I've been reading the posts here and I haven't seen a mention of what type of riding YOU want to do. Touring, bar hopping, around town street fighting, drag racing?. I think you should think about how the bike will be used, this way you will buy something your happy with. All bikes can be considered a compromise, but if you only want to go for slow back road Sunday morning rides, you don't want a Hyabusa, or a Goldwing. And with a little looking around you should be able to find a good used low mileage bike, that will be just what you want for the best price. There are some deals out there at this time of year.,,
