I am looking for a motorcycle between 676cc and 875cc. I would like a sport/touring bike. Not a crotch rocket. Anyone have some good Ideas? Also, my budget is limited; I can only spend around $2000-$3000, so I am not looking for fancy either; a used bike would be fine.

I had a 1996 Kawasaki Vulcan 800 Classic, very nice cruiser.

Any Yamaha, I have own over 30 bikes in my life, from Italian to Harley....the yamahas are bullet proof...Period...you can go cheaper, or a little faster, maybe some better handling out there on the high side of the dollars but you want good quality for the price YAMAHA!!!! Besides you should be able to find a 650 maximum or 650 Vee w/shaft drive for around those dollars. If you are a beginner, DO NOT BUY SOMETHING ANY BIGGER THAN THIS!!!! Best thing you could do is go and ride some dirt bikes for a while before you get on the street. Be Careful.....30+ years of riding bikes 2 car/bike accidents both the car drivers fault, and only because of my years of dirt bike riding was I able to walk away from both with a little road rash.....some are not so lucky...GOOD LUCK nothing like getting on your bike and blowing off some stress....later wilddogg

A used Kawasaki Concours will be PERFECT for you. It is a 1000cc sport/touring bike with full fairing, hard saddlebags and shaft drive. It was originally designed to compete with BMW's sport tourer and has been manufactured for 20 years so there are LOTS of mods/parts for it. 2006 was the last year for the original design. Look up Concours Owners Group and they have a Classifieds page for you to get an idea of what you can afford. It really is a great bike.

Male or Female. You can go to e-bay and bid or you can go to the Honda Riders VTX Forum they have some for sale a little bit more money but worth it. VTX 1300 is a great bike for sport touring. My wife is 5.1 and she fits her VTX1300R/S like a glove loves it has put 20000 miles on it never had a problem I do the maintnance . Another good one 805 Yamaha Sport tourer prices vary just depends on your taste

You might find what you are looking for in the Hyosung GV-650. Very sporty looking. (See link to pic below). But if you are looking for cruising comfort, I'm partial to the Yamaha V-Star 650. (Also see link to pic). For only three thousand though, you might be hard pressed to find something newer then 2004 and under 10K miles.

It has to be a harley. Spend a bit more and get the newer sportster. Much better resale, lowered and no more bad vibrations.
