But a big touring bike would be much more fun.
An Indian, maybe a Goldwing trike :-)

I did just fine on a Sportster...

I had one of those. It was just a little too small,
a little too narrow - and that HURT me. Might
be OK for younger people though.

I'd go on HOG touring rallies, sometimes up to 2,000 miles from home, and
people would say, "You rode THAT all the way from Oklahoma?" I'd reply,
"What do you think 900cc is, a moped?"

I know a guy who rode from Jacksonville FLA as far
up the coast into Canada as you can get and then
back - with his girlfriend on the pillion ! Amazed they
could still walk afterwards. Their ass-ologist will
likely make a fortune removing 'roids :-)
