Hi All,
I wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I'm Mark Turkel, I've been riding for about 15 or so years now, had several different bikes, and just pulled the trigger on this 2020 bike with about 24k miles. It just had all of its major servicing, plugs/valves, fluids, brakes, tires, filters, etc. so it was like brand new, and still even has some warranty time left. I couldn't say "no"!
I have been riding a Kawasaki Concours (2 of them) for the last 150,000 miles, and wanted something "different" and lighter to hop on for day-rides and around town. It is a lot of fun. I need to stop comparing the bikes, because they're different, and my wife is more comfortable on the Concours - so we're keeping both. :)
Ride Safe everyone!
Mark Turkel
