Now 65 years old and just not feeling it on two wheels it seems. Else maybe just not feeling it on my 2012 nc700x manual. It has around 7k miles on it. Also have a 05 r1200rt not ridden in a long time though do love the boxer engine on it that year and transmission is very smooth shifting even though it has that darn power assist brake system.
My 2019 goldwing tour dct airbag is smooth though not ridden in a long time. Seems a bit hotter then prior gen wings heat wise unless tucked in behind fairing or using highway pegs. Florida is not God’s gift for motorcyclist due to heat most months of the year, at least that is how I feel. Hate riding in the heat. Retired so guess I could become a snow bird FL/GA (NE of Atlanta).
Last, purchased a 21 bmw r18FE, well just because figured it would be my last bike purchase and it was a boxer engine be it a bmw exercise in excess…not in a good way one might feel. At least I got it at a low price and very low interest rate. Photo below, and have since added a MadStad windscreen to it.
So, long story shot…if I won’t ride the NC then guess it is time to put her on fb market place. Don’t know, maybe the thrill of using a clutch is gone for me. Did put $500 down an electric motorcycle (from china) though that only comes with a 1 year a warranty. Thinking that one, CSC RX1E, will cost $8,500 If I elect to buy it. Should be there in a month or two I am thinking else here now so need to call them tomorrow to see status.
Will see what cycle trader is selling my year NC for…very little probably…and go from there. Don’t know that a nc700x dct would be an answer. Could just sell the lot of them and do a 2023 bmw r1250r and add bags and screen though seems a fully water cooled boxer r1300 is coming out next year.
If anyone is located on west coast of Florida and interested shoot me a PM please.
