- A BMW boxer is a good choice. Reasonably fun on dirt roads and twisties
- while still capable on long boring straight stretches. However, were I
- looking to buy a used (or new) bike, I'd take a hard look at Moto Guzzi.
- The used ones seem to be tremendously undervalued, with what appear to be
- (in the ads) nice examples going for under $3,000. I wouldn't for a minute
- consider a yacht like a Wing or Electraglide because it limits the places
- you can camp and ride. 10 or 20 miles of dirt and gravel can really get you
- to some fine areas that the Winnebarges can't reach.
