PIAGGIO DEALERS?

For the time being, I'm going to stick with the V-Strom, and don't pack anything heavy, and run with less than a fiull (20 litre) tank.  If I still feel intimidated by it then at some point I will put it up for sale.  No use riding scared all the time.  I rode my '81 CBX at over 240 kph near Fort McMurray, raced at Westwood, and rode in torrential rain, and even snow at times.  Never felt like I was on the edge of disaster. Perhaps it's just old age and wisdom(?) settling in.  I'll work on my latest project bike over the winter, and evaluate the situation in the spring.  Thanks guys for all your input.

If you get a chance, try out a KZ550.  I would have kept my wife's bike but it was too small for me.  Great on gas, lots of power, quiet on the highway and very nimble.  My only issue with it was the TK carbs.  But Overall a great bike.  I see it for sale again on FB.  The owner tried to make it into a brat bike.  He wants $3,300 for it...my wife sold it for $2,000.

HEY DICKEN........you may just become a major source of bits and pieces. This poor little bike was neglected for a number of years, but at least was in a shed.  It only shows 10k, but obviously the previous owner was NOT big on cosmetics.  Lots of polishing to do. Always liked the smaller Suzukis as they were reliable.  Had the mid 80's version that resembled a Katana in the body work.  We'll have to connect by Email or phone in the next few months as I inventory what I'll be needing.
THANKS.
