Ducati brought back the Super Sport. Yamaha's FZ-09 is an excellent value.
I have the Dyna Wide Glide from Harley. It's a 2014 and I bought it brand new back in February of 2014.
I've still got about $5k left on it before it's paid off and I'm paying like $350 bucks a month for it. It will be paid off by February of 2018, although I almost feel like paying it off now but I need that money for another car right now. I don't really wanna take out a loan on a car until this bike is paid off though, but I'll probably end up taking out a loan for a car early in the new year, unless I find something really good with the cash I got.
I feel like I don't ride this bike enough, but the odometer says it's got 24k something miles! I was in a car accident about 2.5 years before I bought this bike and while I wasn't injured, I always think back to how I would have been dead if I was on a bike and that happened. So I get a little bit of anxiety about riding it too much. Of course, once I get on the bike, I don't even think about that at all. My uncle has put hundreds of thousands of miles on street bikes and hasn't had an accident yet. I know there's people that have bikes for 50 years and never get into accidents or get hurt on them. I remember when my cousin flipped his truck, I was young when it happened. He rode street bikes at the time and it really scared him off of riding his bike as much. Then he bought a dirt bike, since it was something he didn't have to ride on the road with. Then his friend died on a bike and he sold his Harley and rode only dirt bikes. He's rode a friend's bike a few times since, but never got a new street bike again and that was almost 20 years ago.
I do have a Honda 250 dirt bike that I have though. I have had it since 2003 brand new. I haven't rode it much lately, just a few times this year. Not a lot of places to ride around here. I broke an ankle on a dirtbike when I was 15 and I think I broke a wrist or something in my forearm on one when I was 19. Never had it checked out, and even went to work like that for a few months! I'm a little more reckless on a dirt bike though, with the jumps and tricks, etc.
I grew up riding a bike, that was my transportation til I was about 20 or so til I was able to scrape up enough money to by a cheap VW bug. I had a lot of close calls riding a bike. I probably wouldn't get one living in so cal, some much smaller place I'd feel a bit better but I don't know still. You get hit, you're going down no way to sugar coat that one. That being said I still covet for a bike...

I was following a reincarnated beetle yesterday... it was burning oil something fierce.
