Just finished a 3170 miles trip over 11 days, including the entire Blue Ridge Parkway, on my extremely comfortable 2012 Harley Heritage Softail Classic. Still need windshield, highway pegs, and seat upgrades to attempt that on my Spyder F3-T.
Still riding the 2003 Triumph Bonneville, a bike I like because it's just a motorcycle. It's not a cruiser, not a sports bike, not an ADV bike, it's just a plain standard.
And I've recently bought a 1970 BSA Starfire, 250cc. Starfire.jpg
Here are our two for what it's worth. A 2015 Suzuki TU250X, light nimble and great fun over short distances, and a 1993 BMW K75S, a little heavy but a dream to ride, is as smooth as silk (relatively speaking) and it only has 53,000 miles on the clock. Our "prime movers" are my better half's 2012 RT Limited and my 2015 RT-S.
Wife got Gl1800 from me when I got a new one. After several years, I went to the Spyder and gave her my newer wing. Sold hers (234,000 miles) and now she rides my newer-old wing. Sometimes she lets me ride it but mostly it's just to move it around a parking lot. Gezzz, that thing feels heavy and cumbersome moving it around. Riding big bikes was never a problem for over 30 years but now I think I am spoiled. I like my 3 wheels.

Triumph Bonneville. In the picture it's the one on the right. I just sold the one on the left. I had intended to sell both to make room in the garage for the Spyder, but I'm not sure the Spyder is right for me, so I'm holding onto the Bonnie for a while *just in case*.

I have my barn find it is a 1990 Honda Pacific Coast PC800, sold new in 1993, ridden
547.2 Miles and parked in the barn until last year when I got it.
After much cleaning and replacing everything made of rubber, all fluids, carb
cleaning fuel filters new tires and anything else needed to make it 100% here it is
I ride it often it's a fun little bike.

SWeeet! That one was always on my radar but every example I came across was already beat to crap. I did own what many considered to be it's successor- the NT700V but that was soul-less. Quite reliable (it is after all a Honda) but boring.
