Default opinions on what my next bike should be
so im 36 6'1" and 300lbs, ive had a shadow, vulcan, and most recently i have a rk custom. I'm just in the mood for something else. I love the crossbones, but then again I love all motorcycles. I have also looked at the bmw r 1200gs adventure and a sport tourer like the bmw k bikes or kawasaki concours. If i get another cruiser it will be a harley, but other than that im not too brand specific. i only put on 2-3k miles a year with 3 young kids, 1 long ride and back and forth to work. thanks for any input or feedback. budget is between 12-13.5k

Get a Fat Boy, anything else is a compromise.
