Any thoughts???? Oh.. I was also looking at Suzuki's New M109R, which will probably be named Cruiser of the Year... but my local dealer is definitely a Kawa bigot... and swears by them.

I did post in your other thread and if you like a sleek look while riding in town you might want to look at the 1600 as you can add a removeable windshield and saddlebags for the times you want to have your bike less bulky. If you don't mind the look of a loaded cruiser you can simply leave it on. Of course the other choice would be to look at the Nomad as it's fully dressed already. I bought a 1500 Classic and dressed it the way I wanted but still spent some $$$ to get it that way. Also, if you don't mind buying a used bike...take a look at them also as some will have aftermarket parts added already so you can save $$$ that way.
