Well, time to look at more bikes in the obsessing category...though I don't know that I have just one bike or just "a bike" in general...I like so many. Like music, why limit yourself to one genre?
So...you're old
You're too fat (WFH =
bad)
Your knees are shi#...
What do you get?
Coming in in the under $7000 category, we have 3 contenders...first up, a Kawi (no one calls it that dad! Yes son, everyone calls them that! BTW, no one says NOHS with their nose plugged either...it's "Nitrous" And OJ IS also the standard for OJ son...and PROLLY isn't a facking word!

)...phwoops! Went off there...1st up, as I was saying:
For only $6799, in this corner, a 2012 Kawasaki Versys 1000
https://www.headingleysport.com/default.asp?page=xPreOwnedInventoryDetail&id=9147002&p=3&s=Year&d=D&fr=xPreOwnedInventoryI kinda like it

In the opposing corner, we have what could arguably be the worse choice, simply based on its roots. But it is a whole $300 cheaper...(probably need that in the first 100 km for repairs anyway amIright?)
2011 Triumph Tiger 1050 SE ABS @ $6499
https://www.headingleysport.com/default.asp?page=xPreOwnedInventoryDetail&id=8948553&p=3&s=Year&d=D&fr=xPreOwnedInventoryLooks pretty nice though, too.

And in the middle, reffing the match, more of a cruiser slow bike. One which probably won't try to kill you...or even make you think of attempting any high speed passes...but can carry some luggage just the same. Big issue here is it's considerably older than the other 2, has more kms, and is dang near the same money.
A 2006 Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 Nomad for $6499
https://www.headingleysport.com/default.asp?page=xPreOwnedInventoryDetail&id=9228010&p=3&s=Year&d=D&fr=xPreOwnedInventory![](https://cdn.dealerspike.com/imglib/v1/1024x768/imglib/Assets/Inventory/5D/5E/5D5EC7FC-129F-4680-92E5-1295E319BD18.jpg)
In the $9-10k category we've got these two. One a svelt Jujitsu master, the other a bar room brawler with bad teeth...
The martial artist:
2019 Kawasaki Z900RS Cafe @ $9799 - nice bike, not as jumpy as an MT09, not as powerful as a CB1000 but needs less revs (apparently) to be fun in town.
Basically brand new.

And the toothless redneck:
2014 Victory Motorcycles® High-Ball for $9499
https://www.headingleysport.com/default.asp?page=xPreOwnedInventoryDetail&id=8886740&p=2&s=Year&d=D&fr=xPreOwnedInventory![](https://cdn.dealerspike.com/imglib/v1/1024x768/imglib/Assets/Inventory/7D/AE/7DAE5A8F-B251-46B6-AA7E-3DDBA3F2E651.jpg)
Yeah, that one might need some behind the scenes re-dressing. It oddly looks like it's missing something, besides a good (re)style.
