If I could find a NEW 700 my road anywhere close to Vegas ie Nevada, Cal, or Arizona at that price or better, I'd buy it and sell my Burgman 650 in a New York minute.
Doc, OK 2300 miles is a bit much (33 hrs Iron Tush riding), but only 7 hrs 5 mins by plane. Fly out, ride home - across America in the spring time. Sounds nice, yes?
BTW, did Las Vegas have a mud slide last fall? Didn't realize it was clear out by California....has it always been there?
Come back through Ohio on I-70 I'll buy you a coffee.
