I'm back!
As you prepare for spring and consider purchasing ONE ultimate cycle, these are my recommendations from the Japon quatro!
Top 3 Suzuki cycles: GSX-R600, Boulevard S40 and the awesome TU250.
Top 3 Honda Cycles: CB1100, Shadow Phantom and the brilliant Rebel 250cc. (Dear God, please tell Honda management to bring the MSX125 to the USA. Thanks.)
Top 3 Kawasaki cycles: W800, W800 and the D-Tracker 125 (neither available in the US).
Top 3 Yamaha cycles: V-Max wow wow wow, Bolt and V-Star 250.
Alternatively, buy them all.
