·Well I think I have my wife coming around. The other day say mention if I purchase her some riding clothes she would ride with me or take day trips. I informed her that my 999 really isn't the best bike for that and she said "Oh I guess you'll need to get another bike then". This is the only the second time she shocked me. The first is when she looked up and said "I want a baby". So before she changes her mind I need some help. My learn is towards the Sport Tourer market. My current stealership has some good pricing and finance options on a Ducati ST3. My concerns here is with me using this bike on a daily basis are the valve adjustments and maintenance. My second choice is the new Triumph Sprint with the new 1050 triple. Only draw back with this bike is no deals. They sell what they get and don't need to offer any finance offers or price breaks. My last choice is to go right a cruiser. I about gagged when I looked at the Harley's but now that they are on the downward slide you can get some good deals. The stealership that has the Duc and Triumph also has Yamaha. The current V-Star Midnight Silverado looks like a very nice ride and it's priced similar to the ST3 and the Triumph. Yamaha also has some good finance deals as well. The cruiser also might appeal to the wife better since it's, well, a cruiser. So do I dive into the sport tour market or start my path down the "I'm old an getting fat" style of bikes?
