Buy the Hugger then. And take an MSF rider’s course, often taught at your local Community College (if not there, then they’re on the web @ http://nm.msf-usa.org/msf/ridercourses.aspx?state=VA for your state). Have fun, but remember: Every time you get on your bike cars are your enemy. Avoid them, even it means the ditch. The biggest bike can’t win a fight with the smallest car.
They haven’t made a Hugger in 6 or so years.
