The motorcycle that keeps popping into radar.

Fancy?  It costs a bit.  But, it runs off-road, and on.  It's a reasonable fit.  It isn't a monster off-roader, nor a pure touring, but about as close as a mix, rather than compromises, as I can find.  The problem?  They can't keep them in the shops.  Selling out.  Probably jacking the prices?  Will find out soon enough.

Though, too, that is... the idea.  Give or take.  New, is suggested retail of about $10,200... I round $xx99 up, mind you.  As well, buying new, for motorcycles, is worse than buying new cars?  I think, mostly, probably.  So, buying used?  If what is offered is within reason.  Remember, motorcycles don't get anywhere near the mileage of a car.  Further, if it's been driven, and hard, off-road?  City miles are fine, but a lot of off-roading will eat it up... like track racing will beat down a sports bike, compared to even rough, but city, driving.

Used, most likely, but in that range or up.  Maybe a smaller Ducati?  Maybe.  Or several other types.  No automatic transmission though, if that only happens on a few bikes, and is an added expense as well.  Less electronics is better.  The only thing I really want is cruise control, as to electronics, or custom systems.  That makes longer trips far easier.  Any variability I would prefer to be mechanical, like adjusting shocks.  ABS is good, but only for highway.  If the bike has that, I need to be able to shut it off.  Not all that difficult, possibly, even if it doesn't have a switch.  Just add one between the electronics and the fuse.  Should work.

Just... thinking.  Later.
