Very Nice!

My next bike will probably be a Street Glide but that is a beauty. Really like the color.

White 2004 LS430 - my 2nd one.
Green 2015 Kawasaki Concours 14.

Based on the Ninja 14 Motor. It's a cruise missile with luggage. Super smooth & quiet, heated handgrips, power windshield. It's practically a Lexus.

I crashed a previous K1200LT by being flipped into oncoming lanes at 60 mph.. The elbow was the least of my issues. I was beaten up, rashed and destroyed. So there is allot going for a Ls430 even if it gets 1/2 the mpg. The cost for all the medical could have bought a new LS460.
Sunroof, stereo, AC and luggage storage. For me now I am really liking the LS430. put four friends in and the fuel mileage is better than any four motorcycles. Plus you can have a smooth conversation while sipping a beverage.

Well, used to ride until I had two serious accidents. Broke my back both times, my neck once, right rib cage and right shoulder blade. After the second time I decided not to buy another one. Was constantly reminded in the hospital that I should not be able to walk and how surprised they were I wasn't dead as serious as my injuries were.

Thanks for the kind words. So am I. Trust me, I want to get back on, but with my luck, not going to chance it. And yes, both times were on crotch rockets (GSXR 1000's).

That's the problem...get you a slower bike that can't do all that. I don't get on them for the speed. Love the corners and hills in the Ozarks. Ride that area twice a year and more often if I can.
