They're a great bike for what they do, but they are so heavy for what they do. :P

Exactly.  When I rode my brother's years ago, it felt like a two-wheeled tractor.  Not really my cup-of-tea.

I think buying a new one this year would be foolish, but a well used one could be a fun foray into my first project-y bike. Do the dohickey, some suspension work.....I think it would be fun, cheap covid entertainment.

At $7500/7800 for a standard non-ABS/ABS model it’s fairly affordable. Still only a 5 speed gearbox but I can overlook that.
