Hi,
I found a dealer with a new '14 GL1800CE for $11K. I have not had a chance to speak with the dealership, but will inquire if this model has ABS, something I'd like on my next bike. I've test rode a Triumph Rocket III Touring and a Moto Guzzi 1400 California Touring. I've had Guzzis before and I'm partial to the brand, but not the cost of maintenance and questionable reliability. The R3T was okay, I didn't care for the poor slow speed handling and riding position was not ideal for me. I need a solid commuter bike that could also be used for occasional touring, sometimes 2-up.
A few questions:
- Can the Valkyrie accept a trailer hitch? I plan on buying a Uni-go trailer.
- Is there an aftermarket windscreen? Any comments on buffeting?
- Welcome any insight on the '14 Valkyrie. I recently sold my BMW K1200LT so I'm accustomed to a large bike. Appreciate the assistance!
