This. I never buy anything that doesn't excite me enough to keep long-term.

I've only sold 1 vehicle in my life; my first motorcycle (2007 Harley-Davidson 1200 roadster). I ended up taking a $1500 hit after 5 years of riding it, so no real harm done. What I actually wanted/ended up with would have been unsuitable for a beginning rider anyway.

Must have been quite a change from an 80hp 500 pound cruiser to the Duc 848. I like your current choice sir

It was quite a change, but that 80hp 500lb cruiser had its place. It taught me that 80hp on a 500lb bike could put me on par with a 320hp 4,000lb car. It also let me make a lot of beginner mistakes that the Duc would have bitten me in the @$$ for making... I don't regret the HD at all, and it was a great first bike. Slow, yes. Loud, holy **** yeah (my own fault for V&H exhaust)

. But at the end of the day it was exactly what I needed as a semi-newb rider. And I still maintain that if the Duc had been my first bike I would have gotten myself killed.
