Has anyone changed from a larger bike to a smaller bike?
Funny question because I'm sure many have done just that.
I'm hoping (once again) that I will retire by the end of the year.
I have 4 bikes now & realize that the cost of keeping all of them is not practical.
Plus even tho I am only 65 & in pretty good condition I can see where the body may not like holding up a larger bike in 5 or 10 years.
I have become so accustomed to the power of larger bikes that I keep convincing myself I just won't be happy with anything less.
So the question is; For those who have downsized was it an easy transition?
Did you ever find yourself "in trouble" due to the difference in power?
I rely more in quick reaction & response than I do with brakes & horn.
Any input is appreciated.
