I had and rode a Helix for 10 years before trading it on my Burgman 650 Executive. Still wish I had room for the Helix in my garage, but alas one bike had to go and the Helix drew the short straw. I do miss the Helix, it was just so handy to pop over and grab groceries or to go pay bills. Probably should have traded the V-Strom in instead of the Helix...
As to the Burgman, I just don't get it out as often as I did the Helix. Too heavy getting it off of the side stand and backing it out. I like it just fine when not backing it up but there is always that backing. Out of the garage, out of parking spaces, etc. Did I mention it is a heavy bike? There is also transmission drag to add to the weight when backing although I hear the new Burgmans are better on the transmission drag.
During the time I owned my Helix, I rode it all over the southeast USA. Even though the seat was a little low for me, I still took it almost everywhere. Loved that little bike.
Now I will catch crap from everyone here as I am telling you to think real hard about selling your Helix. But did I tell you I loved my Helix as ugly as it was?
