Electra Glide police model. 114, 13" shocks, passing lights, rear bag guards, heated grips...all the stuff I wish they had put on the new EG Standard.

Seeing as my Street Glide Special is not quite 2 years old yet (from the time I got it) and I still have my Wide Glide, I'd go for a KTM Super Adventure 1290. I've almost bought one a couple times already. I do think the headlight is ugly but I'd be riding this thing for its performance on/off road and not so much looks.




I also wouldn't mind a new dirt bike of the Honda CRF450 persuasion, though not sure if I'd go for the R or the X.

Default The Truth.

"USED", 2013 Road Glide Ultra or Electra Glide.
6 years old with less than 15,000 miles and a lot of upgrades. $12,000 and I'll have the gas/food/hotel money to put 10k to 15k miles on her per year. 2002 and prior a bike held it's value when you pull off the dealers lot ? Today, "DEPRECIATION" kicks in with or without upgrades and milage......And insurance on M8 is too rich for my blood. Question, can bike depreciation be written off under the new Trump tax plan ?

If new I would go with the Road King, if another bike I would go with a vintage Indian or Harley

never owned a non Harley. I wouldn't do a new one at this point anyway. I've always had a lot of respect for the European bikes, ducati and triumph especially. Ducati would kill me..... But a triumph street cup looks pretty sweet in my opinion and I think I'd have to try pretty hard to get in too much trouble.

If money was plentiful, and I was dang rich All I would buy would be a used sportster and turn it into a scrambler, so it would keep my 07 RKC company, when I wasn't riding either one of them. other than that, nothing.
