My quest to find a better bike

[Hovmod_imp]

I always think of motorcycles as analogous to tools. In order to chose the tool, you have to first define the task. Some motorcycles are better at being a [url=https://www.leatherman.com/home]Leatherman than others which are more specialized.

I like that analogy, and that’s one reason this is difficult. The task isn’t well defined. The task depends on the tool, too. If I just keep the CB, I will eliminate as much motorway as I can from future rides, but I know there’s going to be *some*. Same with dirt roads and trails. I can manage some on the Honda, but if I had a GS or PA, I’d *find* a lot more of those.

I don’t really want a Leatherman either, you’d never pick the Leatherman over a knife or a screw driver. I want a bike that I always *prefer*.
