Thank-you, all. In light of what you said, we will be pursuing the Tourer my local guy has on sale. It's a 2014, but it's marked down to a bit less than $17K ... Now I just have to wait for my tax return. :-)
What is it with waiting for a tax return? Can't people figure out how much to deduct? I would rather keep the money than let the Government keep it with no interest.Dean
I certainly would buy it again, ride one and decide for yourself.Met you in Nova Scotia couple years back ... Was quite unusual to see another California in literally the middle of no where (Meat Cove) !! Just sold my California for a newer model - I should have kept both, really miss that bike !!
Hi Slo, 11-16-20No only "Would I", but I did. I have a 2015 and a 2017 Cali Tour. They are medium weight cruisers. I ride with a BMW club in western North Carolina and a friend in the Adirondack Mountains in upper New York State. In NC, we ride mountain twisties...We've ridden them dozens of times and every time - no exceptions... I get this... "How much does that bike weigh?"Now understand...I'm not a high performance grade rider, I've never raced bikes...etc. However if you keep the RPM'S at > 3500, the bike never disappoints, and it can lean! Suggestions:Buy a 2017 or newer (no "dred red triangle" much better cruise control. Get a good aftermarket heated grip set. Install a 1 or 1 1/2 gal roto cast fuel canister in a panier. I did all these things (plus a pulsing led tail light unit). I'm a happy camper. BTW... I'm 70 years old, boast a 29" inseam and weigh 168 pounds. the bike is well within my range of comfort. Hope this helps.Be well, stay well,DougG
Hi Dan, 11-17-2-First of all, I have to correct something I said earlier. I should have said that the cruise control actually has a "toggle or jog function". In other words once you set a speed, you can incrementally increase or decrease it (jog it up or down), by thumbing the toggle on the grip up or down.And YES, the issue with the throttle grip position sensor has apparently been resolved...i was told that the new ride by wire system eliminated that problem. I do not know the exact details but I can say from my own experience that the '17 has not issued a single "dred red triangle". (Over 11k miles with no problem.) Rarely...maybe every twentieth start or so, the '15 will throw the service code on the display. I turn it off and on a couple of times and it goes away.Be well, stay well,DougG
