The single cyl. would struggle with that. I think running around town and within a couple hundred miles of my home would be the single cyl. version.

I love the other brands. But, all the dealers are 75 miles from me for any warranty work. Honda still puts out a stone cold reliable bike and you always find a dealer or mechanic to work on one within 25 miles of anywhere it seems lol. The have some new cool bikes, too. I'm also at that age and time in my life were I keep saying to myself not to settle for less than you really want.
