I ended up getting a bike today.

A 2007 Suzuki Boulevard C90. Under $5,000, with a free disc lock, inspection, and oil change as well.

1500cc's of cruiser goodness, shaft drive too. The VTX was passed on because it had straight pipes. Way too loud for me. Sounded great, but way too loud. I like the EFI too. Need to tweak the windscreen a bit, but all in all it is in solid shape. Rides great. Corners nicely for a heavy bike too. An excellent bike on blah roads as well. Does a part of me still wish I got a sporty bike, sure. But I cannot pass up the deal I got on this. Needs a touch louder exhaust and I'll be really happy.

Next upgrade: tail light stuff. Want a bit more visibility from the rear.
Also: charging port for my phone. And a bar bag as well to hold my phone, a little toolkit, and garage opener.
