I want to thank all of you for your help. The replies have been very informative and have dispelled a couple of ideas I had.
After reviewing the replies and reading one of Grant's posts elsewhere on the site I've decided that all these bikes are capable but none really move me. Since I plan to make this trip more than just a jaunt since it is something that holds a special meaning for me, I've decided I would like to try my hand at a bike that strikes a chord with me: A Triump Bonneville. I know this may not be the most practical of choices but I'm willing to ride it out, no pun intended. Besides, I plan to test it out with full gear sometime in '07 doing to TransAmerican trail. No heavy off-road stuff but plenty of dirt & gravel. Plus, Metal Mule has a pannier kit for it.
Anyone know something of grave importance regarding this bike before I go to my local dealership? I would like to get some input, if available, since you folks know what your talking about (from personal experience) and I find this site to be invaluable.
Thank you all.
