I've started my lighter bike search. Last week I went to two bike dealers in southern NH that have good showrooms and inventory.
1st I'm looking for less weight, close to 500 lb., must be able to handle two up, have a decent ride and I like that some have 25"-27" seat hight.
That lower seat would give my 29" inseam better earth leverage.
I CANNOT understand why Honda always throws in the towel; forfeiting the ST to the competition like BMW, Suzuki, Kawi and the CB1100 ("discontinued") to Triumph etc.
Attached are some bikes I checked out, that I can go back another day and test ride with my wife. Now don't laugh, you can see I like old school.

I welcome your bike suggestions that fit my wish list above.
