Looking for a new bike....street

I want something cruiser/cafe racer like. Comfortable for the wife and has some jam. I like the XR1200 or the new Sportster Roadster but I'd like some other options. I like the Yamaha Bolt but I'd need to add NOS to it because the engine is lacking big time. What else is out there that makes decent power that doesn't look like a full blown cruiser?

 

XSR900 is pretty badass.

 

Have you ridden the Bolt?

 

Grom with a BBK

 

FZ-09?

 

No I haven't, are the specs making the bike seem like it's less than it is?

That xsr looks pretty sweet!

 

Indian scout. Looks awesome

 

The new for 2017 colors are badass. Saw the new catalog at my local dealer that he just brought back from the dealer show.

 

I love that bike. Buddy just got one

 

X Diavel

 

It's a little too cruiser for me.

I guess I should have said I'm not into spending more than $12k

 

Multistrada. I love mine and haven't even seen it yet.

 

Do you want it to be fast, or just look cool?

FZ09 is fast. A Thruxton looks cool.

 

I want something that'll give my arms a good yank, I can row it trough a couple gears and not hit over 100mph. The xsr might not be quite what I'm looking for motor wise but looks it ticks most if not all the boxes.

 

This is fing sweet!


My wife will be coming with me once in awhile so she needs to be somewhat comfortable.

 

don't see why you couldn't swap on a standard Thruxton or other Triumph seat when needed.

 

I just saw that! Dayyyym!!!

 

Wow.. All those bikes look old

 

No passenger seat for your wife.

 

I have a triumph scrambler. Comfortable for the Gf on the back, not too fast but not too slow either. Perfect for taking out for a couple hours plus it can do wheelies.
