The way I see it you are way better off on a 47 HP, 440 poundish (hopefully less!) motorcycle than a 600 pound 120 HP machine when the road gets lumpy and skatey. One of these with a rear rack & a pair of soft bags would work a treat. With the money you'd save ($6K - $12K) you could buy a lot of motel rooms, gas & tires. The "longer legs" will really plush it up on cobby old backroads.
