6'6", 340 pounds...new rider with NO CLUE, but to start
im 6'3" 340 and i bought an 08 honda rebel 250. i have never ridden a bike before and was told it would be a great starter bike. well it was, it lasted 3 weeks and i was ready to trade up. it is really to small for my frame. it runs great and will carry me 68 mph wot. i am now selling it and getting a 600. would like to get a 1100 + but cant afford it right now ..... maybe next year. good luck with the knee and your bike selection
Update on the lucky, yet not so lucky, yet so lucky bastrd
Aight, I'm basically 80% on the knee. Seems like I didn't need surgery after all....just a whole lot of painful physical therapy. An I've been pushin it a lil.....something I shouldn't have been doing. But I'm back to standing on my own and jogging a block at a time.
so come to find out my girlfriends dad just TOTALLY FORGOT about the 3 Harleys he had in storage, when he moved to his apartment. He has 5....GO FIGURE! So he said I can take the class and borrow ride ONE OF HIS SPORTSTERS to practice on for a while! Then when all is good, I can ride around on the GLIDE....OH UM LOVIN IT!!!
Only thing is I'm trying to buy a house right now and the summer is ending. I don't think I want to be riding in the rainy season. An I'd rather start off riding on a continuous basis, rather than for a lil bit then skip a whole season.
But I'm still lucky.....lol. But thanks guys for all the advice....I'll be back.
I'm thinking ultimately I want 2 bikes. A Glide and a Yamaha Raider.
