New VFR800 - Would have been $$$ after buying cases. It would have been familiar to my old 2006 model, but this engine is 15 years old. Come on Honda! There was a used one (~800 miles) for sale when I bought he CB1100. It was on consignment for thousands more than it was worth even if it had been new.

KLR 650 - CHEAP! I think I would have gotten bored with it. I'm a long ride away from any trails. My ride to work is 40 miles and I think the single cylinder buzz would have gotten old real quick. It turns out there were 2 of these parked next to the CB1100 on the showroom floor and I never even noticed until they had pulled my bike off the floor.

BMW R1200GS - I fell in love with these after renting one for a weekend. Then I realized $$$$!, the base price doesn't even get you off the showroom floor. You have to add a couple thousand dollar package to buy the thing, and then you can buy cases. $20,000 no way!

Triumph Boneville - Retro, but ultimately boring, underpowered. I have a long ride to work, I need some spunk.

CB1100 - Reminds me of my first bike a CB200. It was the first bike since I sold my '06 VFR that I wanted.
