Bought a Big Single
03/04/15 at 12:49:40

Well, with another 6 to 12" of snow forecast for tonight here in balmy central Kentucky, the winter blues finally got to me and I pulled the trigger on a new big single.

Sure my 2007 Suzuki C50 v-twin had character and the current 1992 six cylinder GL1500 Wing is amazing on the open highway, but I began missing the S40, my first bike, the day after I sold it. Just something about that big old single thumping away. I had to get another single.

The floor model was not quite what I wanted so the dealer placed a special order and delivery is expected to be in 2 to 3 weeks. I will post pictures once it is in hand. But in the mean time, if you care to venture a guess on the make and model, the first one to hit it will receive the recognition of all and a hardy handshake.

Good hunting

Re: Bought a Big Single Reply #3 - 03/04/15 at 15:35:53 If Blinky is big enough to handle the GW, maybe that tall Kawasaki 650 got his mind churning.. A dual purpose bike in Kentucky? If I was tall and strong I'd be all over that.

I guess the only good thing about this is that you can get a preseason deal on a big single if you work at it.

This is what we woke up to this morning in Central Kentucky. The official total is 14" and it is still coming down. I know this is nothing for you northern types that would just use a broom to clear 14", but this is something to behold for Lexington Kentucky.

Yep, I spent a couple of hours with my Kawasaki this morning....it has a big V-twin engine.

My snowblower has a 15 HP Kawasaki engine on it! Grin
