A few months ago , I was attracted to the youthful curves of a Valkarie.I am pleased to report that my GL 1100 won the battle for my heart . She has reliably carried me from my home base in Florida to California , Maine and Washington State . I know I made the right decision keeping my trusty steed. After that brief digression, I started to see more and more warnings of soaring gas prices this spring . We all had 
arty: arty: :Egyptian: been told that before , but somehow , this time seemed different . My Wing gets around 40 mpg on the highway,but in the 54 mile a day commute, much of it in heavy traffic , I knew she would'nt do much better than my Hyundai Elantra.
My solution : 2004 , 250 NightHawk . She is a little buzzy going through the gears , but quite smoothe in 5th gear. I work two jobs, so I go directly from one job to the other. This is the first time in 30 years , I've owned a bike smaller than a 650 !! I can honestly say , I enjoy my little 250 !! I've added a windshield and a knapsak . I'm good to go !! I read a story on the internet about a gentleman that rode a 250 Nighthawk from Seattle , Wa. to Memphis, Tenn. in 6 days.I'll save my wing for long legged trips . The Hawk is perfect my daily commute. I'm sure you know what the best part is . Even with traffic delays , I still get 75 MPG !!!!!
