If you get those amazing close to 60mpg great, if not and your in the 40mpg range I feel for you. The bad or poor mileage that my 1100 was getting played a part in the decision to trade it in... Sorry to say that... Plus the deal I got with $200 over blue book was hard to pass up... Do I regret it, some days, but I will never see a day with more than one bike in the garage, I can safely say I will never be able to afford it.
Just remember as we are all unique as is our bikes no matter the flavor/brands/make/model...

Did I miss a thread while on vacation? Dbuster what did you get?
Not sure I thought I waited until you were back before I got the new ride. A Kawasaki Vulcan 900 custom. Brand new 2011 left over zero miles, they knocked $3000 right off the top plus the trade in, scored bags, Avon grips, and seven year warranty and still dropped my payment and the insurance dropped $250 a year! Not to shabby for my trade in. It took me a year to hit 1000 miles on the cb but I am at 800 in 6 weeks with the Vulcan. So much nicer when you get better mileage and a task can get you over 200 miles before the reserve light comes on.
The cb would flash reserve for me at 120 miles...
If I had all the money that many here seem to have, all hard earned also, I would have the cb in the garage also... But I for one am one who will be working until the end so saving money with gas is up there on my list. That is why I just spent the weekend working 26 hours replacing 600 sq ft roughly of rubber roof over our breezeway saving us over $3000 on the roof job starting tomorrow. Partying the price know with torn up knees but it is worth the savings.
