Would You Buy A New Bike If The Dealership Was Four Hours Distance?

I am considering getting a new ride and have tended to only consider bikes with a Dealership in Northern Ontario. However that limits the choice to Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki and Harley Davidson. I almost pulled the trigger recently on a 2018 Sport Glide but stepped back after reading of issues with the new Milwaukee Eight engines, deciding instead to wait for the 2019 models. In the meantime Indian has caught my attention but the nearest dealership is four hoiurs away in southern Ontario. That's also where the nearest Triumph and BMW dealerships are as well.

I have had such a good experience with the CB1100 that I think whoever said on this forum that the CB1100 can spoil you for other bikes might be right on. So why not just keep riding the CB1100 you might ask? Maybe it's a case of wander lust but I would like to try the cruiser/bagger experience. If I was younger I could easily wait and see what comes along but at this point every riding season is precious and I want to make the most of them while I can.

Got the coming winter to dream on this...
