Looking at my 2nd bike!

I know I know I am a new rider and looking at my 2nd bike already. Currently I am riding a Suzuki GSXF 650. It is a great bike but my right hip hurts on longer trips and my husband (cruiser guy) keeps telling me it won't be comfortable on long rides. He is right. I am going to ride my GSX next season and in the fall trade it in and get a different bike.

I have been looking at the Suzuki BLV 800 but I really think I have come to the conclusion I am going to get a Yamaha 1100 VSTAR Silverado. I am tall at 5 10 and a big frame. This bike calls to me. Hubby wants to do some long rides in the next few years and this bike would do it. I will miss my Fuel Injection and gear indicator but hopefully after another season riding I won't need that anymore.

In the meantime it is so fun looking at bikes online and going to dealerships and checking things out!

I am addicted and it is almost funny!

Cheers
