A tentative good afternoon folks, although I'm not sure if I'm allowed as I appear to breach the rule of two Cumbrians only? I may get by of the technicality that I'm not yet an owner yet
I'm a 62 year old who was a born again biker in my 40s after 20 years not riding. Since 2007 I've owned a 1997 BMW R1100 gs and the last 4 years it's been supplemented by a BMW K100, Watsonian Oxford Chair outfit. I love both and can't bear to part with either. But the RE urge has the upper hand, always swore I'd have one before I died! Still not certain which model yet. I love the basic Bullet 500 initially, I tried the Himalayan but it's not for me, too small for my 6' 4" frame, at least that's what it felt like. Cash has landed on my desk to enable me to further my dream. I fell in love with a 1960 Constellation 650 which has added electronic ignition along with a few other sympathetic upgrades. It was on Ebay for ages but finally sold just before my windfall arrived. It was made the year I was born Since then I've considered the Scram 411 and then out of no where the Super Meteor 650 plunged into my heart. Not sure how that's happened as I've had zero interest in cruisers before? Anyhow I'm going to make a few visits to the local dealership, about an hour by train to try all the different models out. Any other 6ft plus lanky gits on here that have issues with any of the models?
