Hi Zoom, that is a great goal list, and so energizing to see them being met!
I also have a VStar 650 and keep kicking around the idea of getting a bigger bike, but haven't commited to it yet. I'm curious as to what is drawing you to a bigger bike, as it seems you are able to go on long trips, and just about anywhere you want on the 650. Is it more power? If so why, when was the 650 not powerful enough? Is it comfort? etc.

I went on a 65 mile solo ride yesterday (hubby wasn't feeling well) and it was great! I am still having issues with leaning enough in turns so I threw in some parking lot figure 8s and circles too. There are very few curved roads here in the Mojave desert to practice on. However, one road we like to go on is curvey and I managed to scare myself badly by losing focus (daydreaming, enjoying the moment) and entering a turn too fast, didn't lean and ended up in the oncoming lane, blind to an oncoming traffic or not. Fortunatly, there was no oncoming car and I recovered, but it scared me good.
Thanks!

Thank you for the reply Zoom! My reasons for wanting a bigger bike are about the same. I am 5'8" and sometimes the 650 feels a little cramped. I too notice the vibration a lot at 60+ MPH. My DH has a Vulcan 2000, that is more than 3 times the size of my bike! LOL. I am looking at the Vulcan 900, or a VStar or Honda 1100, 1300. There are also some nice Vulcan 1500, but they are pretty darn big. I will know when the time/bike is right when I see it I guess

Zoom, have a good trip! Hubby and I will be going to Palm Bay in October. This weekend, our group is going up to ride the Dragon, but I'm still on the fence if I will actually do it once I get there.

We are actually going to a "meet" of sorts where a guy in the Victory Motorcycle Club is having his own "Lobsterfest" at his house in Palm Bay the same weekend as Biketoberfest in Daytona. He's quite the sport fisherman and is catching and freezing lots of seafood (lobster included) to feed everybody at his party.
