Okay Coggers,
I love my Connie, but am hankering for something a little smaller to commute on (Beaverton, OR to downtown Portland) that gets better gas mileage. Right now the big monster is getting around 35 to 38 mpg in town. That's great, beats the heck out of my Mustang GT mpgs, but could be better. I've read through the Ninja 250 thread, and it is a possibility. However, I am thinking something vintage...maybe 500cc to 750cc max.
I've been burnin' up Craigslist for awhile just seeing what is out there. Some other bikes I am considering:
Yamaha XS
Yamaha Seca
Honda CB 550/650/750
Honda CX500
The one bike I keep coming back to time and again, though, is the Honda Nighthawk 700SC 1983(?) to 1986, the '86 apparently the best of them all. I am particularly fond of the Blue/Black combination.
So, let me know what you think!
