It's hard to beat an Eldorado and I will be echoing a lot of previous posts. It is a big, heavy, motorcycle and I hate pushing mine around the garage. But I didn't buy it to push around the garage. Once it is out of the garage, and moving down the road, it's very easy to handle. It has the smoothest engine of any motorcycle I have ever owned. It really zooms and gets reasonable gas milage. It has Todd's full fuel package, something I heartily recommend. It's very comfortable to ride (mine has crossed the country several times). It's big enough, and strong enough, to load down with a month's worth of camping gear and other needs but still doesn't feel like a truck to drive. It's reliable enough to take long journeys without too much concern to plan the trip around dealerships. I am approaching 30,000 miles on mine with only regular maintenance and tires being required. And, if you get a red one, you will get many opportunities to meet new people and talk motorcycles to your hearts content.
