107° today - rode it 100 miles to the dealer for 12,000 mile service and another ballsweat-inducing 100 mile ride back. Just .... damn.
edit.. While waiting at the dealership, he let me ride a Bonneville to go get something to eat, a Harley Davidson XL-something Sportster out of boredom, a Tiger 800XC just because and a SprintGT 1050 because he caught me sitting on it, lol.
The Bonnie - it's retro cool, but was like riding a stiff rag, there was not much twisting or leaning to be had. It would be OK for around town commuter.
The H-D - All I have to say is "why would anyone buy this?"
The SprintGT - I could totally own one of these some day. Great highway-burner, comfy but firm.
I would not even think about trading my Striple for any of these.
