I'm a new rider at 41
Hello all I am 41 and new to motorcycling. I Live just north of Toronto, Canada and have just taken my motorcycle safety course. I am looking forward to buying my first bike. Can anyone recommend a good used first street bike. I am leaning towards a cruiser style of bike. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Take your time finding the right ride. Do a lot of on-line searches, both on manufacturers and for-sale sites. Hit a few dealerships and sit on every bike that tickles your pickle. My guess would be that you have a couple of months to ride this year at best so don't rush yourself. I too started relatively late in life with this new passion and I hope you end up as happy about it as I am. I am 38 and bought my first bike, a 2004 Yamaha Warrior, last spring. I cannot fathom owning anything else for many years to come.

Welcome to the board, Allan. I am just south east of you, in Bowmanville. Where bouts are you north of T.O.?
There is a 2001 Yamaha V-Star 1100 Classic for sale here in town. I had one. I enjoyed it. I don't know what the seller is asking. I could stop in for you. As I ride or drive by it every day. It has been sitting there for a while now. Chance of being able to pick it up for a decent price.
Cheers!
