!3 years since MSF and license, ridden dirt and sport bikes. I've bought an old bike and rebuilt the engine.

looked at sport tourers and adventure and would consider anything.

450 (dry weigh)t to 600 pound bike with 100 pounds of gear is my preferred max.

I just don't want a 800+ pound bike. I thought about a big Harley, didn't want any $40,000 versions and not sure I want to spend $27,000 and parking it at night outside in a hotel parking lots.

But thats why I'm interested in opinions and particular bikes.
