Vic, my V-Star 1100 is the first cruiser I have ever owned. When I bought it I thought I could use it for a long distance cruiser, but I was wrong. It is fine for short rides, 50 to 150 miles. The wind tires a person quickly. No good easy fix for it. My Concourse is great fun to ride and I have it set up for long trips with a 52L Givi box on the back. No problem with bike loaded and my wife and I on it. It corners like it's on rails. The problem is at my age, almost 68, the bike is just to much bike for me. I want a lighter motorcycle that is easy to handle. I'm quite sure the Ninja 250 is the right bike for me. Thanks for your reply. Ride safe.
