Thanks for the info. I'm thinking maybe i WILL go a notch higher and maybe even look at used as a2psyklnut said. I said i don't need to go high, but everyone including the friend i'll be riding with keep pusing me up the $$$ ladder bit by bit !
This happens every time i want something i know little about.........i research and end up spending a lot more than i initially thought i had too.
Oh, and any suggestions as to what else i might look at in a bit higher price range that the 3 MuddyRabbit listed?
Thanks...
