Thanks DucHead, I wanted something more like your bagger, but this was easy on the wallet and Susan can reach the ground easilly

Congrats! Enjoy you two up travels

Awesome!  New bikes are always fun as is a wife that enjoys riding as much as you (mines getting there).  You know what the best thing about baggers are?  It gives you a place to stick your GoPro to for some killer shots 

This was taken from my Yamaha bagger (2004 FJR)

Never been a better sentence to sum up my loathe for cruisers, baggers, etc.

The wife and I may be moving to FL ourselves if a job she's after comes through...while I will be super stoked to leave the miseries of winter in OH behind, the flatness that is FL is something I won't be too thrilled about.

If you're moving to FL, just buy a cruiser. Truly, there are absolutely no roads that I enjoyed riding on. The very few twisties were always packed.

So Diavel then for FL?

[duccarlos]

The Diavel handles surprising well, but yeah, something that is more comfortable than the Monster.

[koko64]

I figured that if I had to have a cruiser then might as well go all the way. They're a $30,000 bike here though, but buying used with the Termi kit would be cool. At least they don't weigh 600lbs, handle well, brake well, have safety features and incredible power.

Just checked. Used with very low miles for under $20,000.

[Chucko9-696]

I would have liked something like the Diavel, But We picked up the Yamaha brand new for less than $9,000. The low seat height makes it easy for Susan to ride it. Those were two of the biggest factors as to why we got the Yamaha.
