Hey everyone,
I recently got a dual sport motorcycle and and now extremely hooked on riding in general. I’ve done 120+ mile rides on my bike but it’s just not comfortable after about 40 miles. I love the bike a lot, but want to extended my riding options to 150+ mile rides and not have a sore ass, back and knees by the time I get to where I want to go. That being said, I’m 6’7, 240 ish and am looking for a bike that can do longer rides, keep up with the flow of traffic and isn’t an extreme money burden. So far I’ve sat on a couple bikes and ridden a couple buddies. The heritage, road king and the glide bikes all in general.
I’m just curious if there is any other bikes out there I should look at? I plan to use the bike for long trips, but a lot of just cruising around town 20 mile trips, give or take. I’m stuck between a rock and hard place because I want a bike that’s great for long trips, but also not a clunky big bike that’s a lot to go around town with. Anyone have any suggestions? I’m open to any and everything.
Thank you in advance for any pointers.
