I've been perfectly happy with my beemer for the country and mountain roads around here. Thought I had HD's out of my system many years ago. Riding on the K-bike today I found myself longing for a more relaxed riding position for an easy putt around some back-roads. Maybe I'm just getting old (49), but mountain carving is not the attraction these days.
I keep coming back to his bike as I day-dream through cyberspace. I'd keep it stock (no raucous pipes for me) for that low rumble. Might add some meatier grips and nicer footpegs, but that's about it. No black crinkle all over the engine and I'm still a sucker for spoke wheels. The 96" motor and 6 speed tranny ought to provide enough low end punch to keep me grinning.
Would take a bath on the K-bike trading it in and don't have time to deal with selling it myself. Worth, maybe $8k or $9k, but would be lucky to get $7k in trade. Will try to resist the urge, at least until it's time to get myself a 50th birthday present (in Feb 09). Right now, this Dyna Super Glide Classic is on top of the short-list. Who'd-a'thunk-it? Anyone have any experience with the 96" motors and/or a Dyna bike?
