Welcome Frank, to an excellent site. I only discovered it a short while back, but already I have gleened loads of useful info from members. I have had wings on and off for 30 years and wouldn't want anything else, at least, not til I'm too old to hold one up. That said, I think most of the guys here would agree, that it's a case of love 'em or hate'em. I worked my way through the Honda catalogue in the 70s, finally getting, what for me was the ultimate, a Wing. Plenty of friends of mine thought I was crazy, for them the thrill was a sports bike, but I was never a speed freek.
As others have said, try and get to ride one, the model is unimportant, it's probably dictated by how deep your pockets are! You may find it's not for you, but if you take to it, I will guarantee, you will never be short on comradery, there are clubs, if you like or just riding out with a few friends, which you are bound to make. I can honestly say, that I have never come accross a Wing rider ( or passenger) that I didn't get on with, they, like the bike, are in a different league, perhaps just owning one changes us, or maybee it's just a common factor thing, like being in the forces.
I expect you are yawning now, so I'll shut up and give others a chance to air their views.
By the way, the Vulcan sounds great, I haven't seen one of those in the air for years!!:waving:
