Hi All,
59 year old rider here-Currently have a Shadow 750 in Michigan and a Thunderbird Triumph 1600 SE in Florida. I took a test spin on a 2007 Nomad with 14K miles and was impressed with the ride. Joined here to try to get some idea of long term ownership and anything to look for with a used bike. The seller is asking $7900 and wondering how that stacked up. I have been riding for 9 years. My wife of 30 years started riding 2 years ago and has a Zuki Boulevard S50 and we usually do 100-300 mile days. When she does not want to take her ride we go 2 up. I'm wondering how the stock Nomad seat is for long hauls or if everyone has to do a Mustang or Corbin swap? This particular bike has a "raised up" windscreen as well as big lowers-I did not seem to have any buffetting and figured it must have been an issue. I will dig through the archives and see if I can get some answers but I had to do an introductory post so here it is. I work as a diesel engineer/captain aboard a 100' boat in the Great Lakes and Florida so do most of my own repairs etc but would rather not have to wrench but prefer to ride.
Happy Fourth-
