JJ, are you corresponding from the great beyond, sure looks like it.  What I can't decide is if it is heaven, there being so many nice rides, or the other place cause you can't own and ride them all.

It does seem a cut above the others shown. That powertrain and suspension in a Bonnie Black? Now we're talkin'!

You must have been having a great time sniffing the aroma of fresh paint,  new tires, leather saddles.  That's my wintertime fix here in NE Ohio. I don't buy s***, but it is a free fix for my bike addiction.  Nice pics of some sweet bikes.  Thanks, JJ.

I bought one last October, quality machine, never even ridden a BMW before. I love "Roadster" style bikes, plenty of power and I find it very comfortable even though I'm 6ft 4ins. I still have 2 Guzzi's in the garage as well.

JJ, are you sure you would find true happiness in your life with those bikes and living where you do?

I'm thinking, "Hell yes!"😁😁

Definitely the best looking bike there.

I quite like the BMW RnineT

I rode both the Thruxton (sadly, not the R), and the RnineT.   I definitely liked riding the RnineT better, even though I prefer the looks of the Thruxton.

I was down in the Valley (Scottsdale) as my wife and her girlfriend were on a "shopping frenzy" yesterday. :shocked: :rolleyes: :wink:

They dropped me off at GO-AZ, (right next to HD-Scottsdale), so I was getting my brief but complete "motorcycle-fix" for the day! :thumb: :cool:

I really like the Thruxton R and the Nine-T, but my '98 Centauro GT will fit the bill for now.  I did like the little Ducati Scrambler, and road-tested one awhile back.  75 HP and only 410 pounds.  Light, nimble, and FAST!  Would be a cool little bike for Vortex Land.

Of course, having owned and ridden four Big Twin HD's in the past, I really like the 2017 Softtail Slim.  Low and cool...and now...either 103 or 110 cubic inches! :cool: :thumb:  The new Fat Boy was also cool!

So many nice bikes...so little time...money...and garage space! :rolleyes: :shocked: :wink: :grin: :laugh: :cool:
