Hey Folks...I will be spending 3 weeks next summer touring around the Canadian Maritime Provinces with my sister (Proudly a Triumph rider!) and decided after checking out rental prices that it would be cheaper to buy a bike and leave it with her when I return back to Alaska and my Rocket.
On a budget, so I cant just go all out and get an R3T, and besides I will only be riding this bike occasionally when I visit NH. Here is what I narrowed it down to...any comments, likes or dislikes are welcome and very appreciated
1998 BMW R1100 RT, 53k miles, $3500
2006 Kawasaki Concours, 33k miles, $3000
1996 Triumph Trophy, 19k miles, $2800
All three bikes are in (if we are to trust the photos and narratives) great shape with all updated maintenance, hard shell bags and fairings/shields. My local dealer speaks highly of the BMW but I am leery of the reputed, difficult to access battery.
