Choosing a bike

Hey guys, I'm a little indecisive what I want to upgrade to.
My first bike was a Yamaha XVS650, and it was too small for me.
I'm 6'4" and a good 160kgs.. definitely a cruiser build, but I don't want another Yamaharley.. I'll eventually end up on a cruiser again, but I can't afford a Harley at the moment, and that's what I will get. I'm looking for a sports bike in between, but it's hard to find one I'll fit on.. I'm really keen on the TLR1000, since Vtwins are where its at.. I think it's a little small though.. Any suggestions? Everyones tellin me to either get a busa, or a cruiser =\

Another way to go is to check out bike salvage yards or repos from the bank/finance companies. They are only interested in gettin their money back and will often sell for the balance of the loan.

Salvage bikes have a good price on them but be careful and if you can eyeball the bike before buying - I just looked at 08 FLHTCUI for 7K and for what was wrong with it - I would have to dump 3K in it to get it up and running which ain't bad; but you have to take into account the state you will be riding in also. Some of the laws on salvage titles are downright stupid. uke:

These are just a few and there are more listings from local sources and websites like ebay which should give ya a wide selection of good used rides to pick from at a price you can afford.
Oh! and as a afterthought - don't wait until yer a ole geezer like some of us on here to check out the dream bike - life is to short and if you don't get what you want the first time around ya don't get a second chance.

Live life like it's your last moment and ride safe.

na, not interested in another yamaharley... if i was gonna go another Japanese cruiser it would be a m109 suzuki boulevard.. beasts.. but im really looking for a sports bike that ill fit on. i like the TLR1000 and hopefully i fit on it.. but im really just tryin to sus out what's available

the suzuki boulevard handles like a garbage truck; slow response in curves and a dog in accel.
Save your pennies and get a HD (used) you'll be money ahead in the long run.
