Default introductions

hey, new member here. i'm dante, i joined this forum so that i can do my research. i've been riding for about 5 years now. first bike was a 2001 honda F4I crotch rocket. then i bought a 1985 shadow vt700, i still have that bike and its now converted into a bobber sort of thing with some misc harley parts on it. then my main rider now is a 2004 suzuki volusia. love that bike's size, i fit it well...but the 805 cc is really lacking in the HP category. so i'm looking to replace that bike and upgrade to something with some more oomph in it maybe next summer after i pay my truck off. well, there's my intro. onto researching now.

thanks, im sure whatever i buy will not be new. i'd love to get a used night train or another softail of some sort but they are pretty pricey for what i can afford. love either one of them, but realistically i think i'm leaning towards streetbob or wide glide
