Definitely. If you like riding, but just don't like riding your bike, then it's time for a new one. Who cares if you don't like how a new one looks, as long as it's comfortable to ride and you actually enjoy riding again. As far as looks go, I'd much rather have a sport bike or a chopper. But I want to enjoy riding, which means riding long distances, and I just can't enjoy riding either of those types of bikes for long distances. Eventually, I'll have a track only bike, a cruise around town bike, a dirt bike, and a good long distance hauler. But for now, I'll settle for the Strom, which allows a slight combination of all types of riding.
