So glad I had a Vulcan S for a couple of years. I live in the north Georgia mountains and rode it everywhere. I'm tall and that bike was super comfortable with forward controls and handed well on twisty roads. Could ride it all day
Getting near that Revzilla level production quality. Very nice. I learned at a very young age growing up around bikers that you don't ever sell a motorcycle you love if you can avoid it. My grandpa had an EVO Fat Boy for at least 20 years, my dad has a sportster 1200 that he had for 19 years since the last time I talked to him, and that was years ago. He got that bike when I was a kid. My Fat Boy I plan on keeping that bike forever, because just how many other motorcycles out there are gonna have full rebuilt options at 120k+ miles a decade from now? I know this one will.
Had a ‘91 VN750 that I ended up selling in ‘94 to help pay for our wedding. Going on 30 years later, still have my wife and last year picked up an ‘06 VN750. This bike brought back so many great memories, like a long-lost friend. I could certainly justify a newer bike, but this is all I need.
I had a V45 Magna way back in the day & rode the Cascade loop with a friend. My ass was numb after completing the 440 mile trip. I will never forget experiencing the scenery, riding the ferry & navigating the busy highways of Seattle then back over the mountains. That bike was amazing so smooth, quiet & powerful. I do miss that bike sometimes :-)
Hello from Manitoba.....I owned a 2014 CB500X, 2015 KLR, 2017 Honda 250 Rally, 2019 Versys 300x, 2021 Tenere 700, and finally back to a 2022 CB500X and this IS the bike that will do it all. TKC 80s front and back and a skid plate and I can go anywhere!!
There's a couple bikes I request selling. My Yamaha raider was an amazing and huge bike. It had a seemingly endless amount of torque and would pull much harder and much longer than the space I had available. It was an absolute blast to open up on long rides. I sold it because it was the only bike I had and the vast majority of my riding is commuting back and forth to work. The raider wasn't really meant to be a city hopper. But, now that I have a smaller bike, I really do wish that bike was still in my stable. The other bike I regret selling is my 2019 Yamaha MT07. That was a fun bike. A lot more fun than I thought it would be. I sold that one because the roads around here aren't the best and cornering on that bike felt exceedingly dangerous with how soft and squishy the front end was. Sure, I could have bought a whole new kit to redo the front end to make it feel more rideable, but that bike wasn't cheap and I wasn't ready to go and dump a bunch more money into a bike just to make it feel safe to ride. So I sold it. In hindsight, I'd still be having fun on the bike had I just bought the new front end and not been so stubborn.
I have a Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom since 2008 and I bought it new from the showroom floor. Still today I love everything about it as the day I bought it. I have been thinking about buying another motorcycle. I thought about selling it for many years to get another bike. I know I will be keeping the 900 because I don't want to regret selling or trading it in.
i regret getting rid of my husqvarna svartpilen 701, i got a great deal on it and now you cant find them anywhere and i would have to pay more for it used than I did new. It was a hoot and looked sweet as heck. I miss my moto guzzi v7 850 stone, full of character, great bikes wish I had kept now. Im gonna have to settle for a new svartpilen 401 because I dig the new styling and tft dash on the one coming out.
My first road bike is a 2004 harley davidson 883, I putv10 thousand miles on it and then had it bored out to 1250. Done some other things, handle bars, forward controls, new carb, new seat. I'll never sell it.
Yes, I have a couple of bikes I sold that I regret. One was my first bike, which was an '86 honda Shadow 500, it was a small bike, but it was such a blast around town and it had loud pipes on it, nothing really special but I sure had fun. The next one was a 2001 honda magna 750, I absolutely loved that bike, it was pretty quick, it had great power v4. I definitely miss that and should've never sold it
I'm in the difficult process of parting with my first bike this year. 23 years ago I saw a Honda Hornet 600 on the TV and fell in love and promised myself "one day" .Well 20 years later it did and I passed my test ( in UK) and went out a bought my Hornet over the next couple of years I've come to realise it's just not the bike for me. It's a high reving inline four and does not suit my old man Sunday trundle riding style. The sound of the bike at the 4-5000 rpm I ride it is a unpleasant drone and the bike is always begging to be reved out. So I pretty much set my heart on a Kawasaki W800 and all being well and good should happen later this year, I have mixed feelings about the Hornet going part of me will be gutted to see it go but I feel if I'm to improve my enjoyment of riding I need to go in another direction.
The feeling is like to see an ex girl friend crossing the street and that makes you think if she was a keeper or not. Sometimes it is a heartache or a relief, sometimes it is just the course of our lifes nevetheless.
Sold my first bike. 1980cr80r and my second ct110 honda trail. And my third, vstar xvs650. Regret every sale. Now have a 2018 gen 2 klr650 although i want other bikes I'm very hesitant to sell it because i want other bikes but can't afford to have multiple bikes. And the klr has never let me down. Just a little slow on the road and a bit heavy for the trail riding i like to do. As i ride solo i get put off going onto knarly muddy trails incase i get stuck.
Thanks for the video! What do you and your audience think : I am about to reach 62 years old. I have been riding on and off since my college years; similar to many riders, I got rid of my 3rd bike shortly after having my 1st child, before I knew it I got my 4th bike after all my kids are away in college, then sold it again for some college money... Now all my kids have grown up working, I am thinking to get on a bike again (last ride was since 2018); but, I have been a diabetic for 15+ years with a pretty successful recovery from a recent Vitrectomy (i am sure my other body parts deterioration will continue as I am typing etc.)... My question is Should I just hang-up my helmet and do all other motorists a favor or just go for that one last ride?
If you want to save yourself from going thru a lot of bikes and not being really completely happy.......buy a 2022 or newer Honda CB 500X. You will Never look back.
I am selling my 2002 Fatboy today 6-1-2024 and actually thinking seriously about buying a new Honda CB500X. Such a great great dependable little great fuel mileage bike.
@@GasWorksISO yes sir I agree. The Goldwing though a perfect touring machine is heavy and costs way to much. I have had four. The CB500X appeals to me as it’s way way easier to work on, way cheaper, way lighter and I don’t need all the bells and electronic gadgets the wing offers. I have a nice new 2023 Corolla that gets 55-60 MPG for that. For two wheels the CB500X is definitely my next bike.

Great video!! I'm 48 and agree with everything you said in this video. Glad you still make videos for us to watch bro!
The last few sentences were very articulate and artistic, left me lost in thoughts 💙🤛👊 good stuff man, keep it up

Good to hear from you, I regret selling my first bike, to me it was a perfect learning bike, but it was so much fun to, it was a Honda 250 twin star.

Man i feel you about the Vulcan S IT'S SO LEGENDARY!
Always love to see your content.
2018 Ninja 400 KRT... The best bike I ever sold. Mine was more than comfortable enough for a 2000 mile tour around Scotland, I am under 6ft though.
i regret getting rid of my husqvarna svartpilen 701, i got a great deal on it and now you cant find them anywhere and i would have to pay more for it used than I did new.

Hopefully you’ll be in a position to keep it, as well as get another bike.
@@GasWorksISO Guess that depends if I want to stay married or not 🤣
The 2024 HD line up is strong. Used bike prices are falling like a stone.
The feeling is like to see an ex girl friend crossing the street and that makes you think if she was a keeper or not. Sometimes it is a heartache or a relief, sometimes it is just the course of our lifes nevetheless.

I just sold my bike, and I probably won't ever have another. I simply can't afford a vehicle. 😖
Never? That’s a long time.. There’s a lot of cheap bikes out there right now!
@@GasWorksISO
If keeping a vehicle one already owns is too expensive, selling it to buy another is not the answer. 🤣
@@positivelynegative9149 Well that sucks! I hope you can afford one soon.
R you getting tired of your Harley St Bob yet?
