A non bagger Harley, then modify it.

If not a Harely, then build a bike around and S&amp\\;S engine.

I like the old Norton Commanders, but don't think it would fit my needs these days.

It would have to be another excellent 2 up tourer, so that means BMW LT or the Wing. I'd have to ride them both then decide.

I kinda recently had a similar decision, totaled my bike and looked at many rides.
&nbsp\\;
Looked at Harley Touring bikes, but Triumph did get a thought, (as I owned one a few years back), BMW makes some nice rides, and Indian is making a comeback. These were bikes that got at least a little time in my thought process. But, I can't get past the "modern" looks of a Victory, so they never got any further than the initial first look.
&nbsp\\;
In the end, got a Road King, but was at least 95% sure that was going to be my decision before the search started.

Would keep my 2007 FLST and buy a Mustang GT convertible.

This one, but you can see in my sig which ones obviously get ridden the most.
