I'm not a fan of really tiny, nor really big bikes. Definitely not a fan of sportbikes either. I am in no position now and don't expect to be in a position soon to buy a new bike but sometimes it's fun to look. What I love is 350-900cc bikes, mostly vintage, because to me it seems year by year manufacturers just make less cool stuff. Just was at both Yamaha and Honda's websites and midsize bikes seem to be a thing of the past. What's worse is what midsize bikes there are are all either cruisers or sportbikes. I mean a Harley is a Harley, those are all the same forever since the evolution, though that V-Rod is interesting, but still it just seems to me that bikes have lost their character and identity and have become just cheap consumer toys with no real style anymore. The last cool "newish" bike I saw was a Triumph.
Now this is a bike, and it's a 2013 too!
So, what else is there in the mid size these days that looks cool, like a bike is supposed to (in my opinion) anyway?
P.S. I'd never feel "cool" riding up on a shiny Harley like I would riding up on that Triumph!
