« Last post by Tom H on Today at 07:16:25 PM »For what I understand your looking for, a 1100 Cali type would not fit the bill. I have an '04 EVT. I hate it around town. I LOVE it on the highways. The last time I tipped it over, I could not right it by myself. They are a fairly top heavy bike. It rides great, but making a U turn is a chore because it has a very narrow fork stop to stop compared to my Loops and even my R75/5 or HD. I want to turn the bars a bit more and can't. That is why I tipped it over, slow speed in a parking lot and hit fork stop and to correct, needed a bit more travel.
You really might want to look at the V7 series. I do not own one, but I have test ridden a few. Not too heavy, not too tall. Solo it will take you down the road at 70mph or more. But.......
I would run like heck from a '16 model, maybe even '15. Some had issues with the crankshaft thrust washers. If it does, not a cheap fix. Everything before and after, are decent solid bikes.
Hope this helps a bit,
Tom
