New bike since the old place.

Two years ago, my 2021 CB650R was traded in against this 2025 Ninja 1100SX. It's been a brilliant choice for me - particularly since multi-day motorcycle tours have become a thing. It's smooth, comfortable, carries all the crap I need for 5 or 6 days on the road, and makes 2-lane passing an absolute breeze.

That is awesome.  Must be a lot of bike to handle, but you're an experienced rider now, so no sweat, right?

What's the car situation these days?  Still rocking a Genesis?

Welcome back! I know nothing about bikes, but this looks cool and it sounds like it fits your needs well, so congrats. Background of the second pic looks beautiful, from the sign is that Wawa Ontario? My one and only stop in Wawa was significantly less pretty

Experienced but far from expert. But this bike is REALLY easy to ride. Pretty sure I'll keep it a good while.

The 2015 Hyundai Genesis is now my daughter's car. 10 years on the road and still solid as a rock. A wiring glitch caused some problems with the car not starting, but once diagnosed, it was fixed with no recurrence. That's kind of it for 10 years, 140k km, other than stuff that wear out.

I'm driving a 2019 Genesis G80 Sport 3.3t. So double Genesis at my place.

Cheers! Yes, I've done two long motorcycle road trips through northern Ontario, hitting Wawa both times and staying there once. Hwy 17 along the eastern shore of Superior is a pretty ride. But it can get scary when dense fog rolls in off the lake.

Great choice! Enjoying the rest of this late riding season?

Yeah, my only Wawa experience was using a chair to barricade my motel room door at 1am because all the locks had been broken. Slept well

Nice bike! You didn't consider buying more of a cruiser type bike? Like maybe the BMW S1000 XR? Or perhaps the Versys 1100?

Slightly leaned forward is arguably more comfortable at highway speeds.

Tell that to all the Harley owners

The same riders who put their handlebars at head level?

Cheers! Unfortunately, work and other obligations have consumed the rideable days thus far this month. If we are blessed with another warm spell I'll sure try to take advantage.
