We've got the Japanese Big 4, several HD dealerships, Victory, Triumph, BMW, CanAm... several of each within less than 50 miles of the farm.
There are a whopping 2, yes TWO, non-cruisers built within the last 20 years that I would buy. Both Kawasaki UJMs (universal Japanese motorcycles), the KZ1000P (police bike) and the ZRX Eddie Lawson replica (either displacement).
Other choices? Harley Softail Springer Classic or FX Softail Springer; Kawasaki VN800A or Drifter, 1500 Classic or Drifter; Honda Shadow 1100 ACE. That's it, no European bikes (modern Beemers don't do it for me and I've had a few Triumphs, pass), no Suzukis, no garbage barges (touring bikes), no repli-racers.
Truest first choices? Pre-49 HD Big Twin, 1947 Chief w/80" kit, Indian 4 cylinder, BMW R51 w/750cc conversion... you know, old stuff.
