Title: (Re)-upgrading my ride, sort of
Post by: Soloratov on August 20, 2014, 08:58:29 AM
I used to have an S50. Just a simple 800 cruiser, it was nice. I liked it. Then I got rid of it. Lately I have been missing the cruiser riding but nothing major. Just one of those lingering thoughts. Well, I have been doing some machining and parts work for the local bike shop and one one of the bikes they have asked about parts for is a Honda CTX. Nice looking cruiser but hey, a lot are. Then I did something silly, I broke the rules. I sat on it. A lot. Damn. Now I must have one. So, I am planning to set up a test ride for the standard and the automatic (yes, I know). I originally was going to sell my GS to offset the cost, but then after more thinking, NO. No way. I love this thing! Besides. Now I can have my laid back cruiser for the lazy days, and the GS for the tight twisty back road riding! Best of both worlds without spending an absolute fortune trying to find something in between.

Looking good! Love the stealthy look of the GS!

Don't let The Buddha see it though... it's bad for his blood pressure ;)

They both look like crap ... atleast the one on the bottom cost ~20-30 bucks. The one on top cost 2-300X that
Cool.
