Choosing my First Bike
Posted: Fri Sep 15, 2006 1:21 am
Hi all. Thanks in advance for your assistance and opinions. I have not ridden in 20+ years but am looking to purchase a cruiser in the near future and get back into riding. (Kids are older, wife not as much against it as she used to be).
Alittle about me, I am 47, 5/8, 185lbs. Bikes I am considering (in order):
-Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic LT
-Suzuki Blvd. C50T
-Yamaha Vstar Silverado
-Honda Aero
I prefer a bike with the accessories already included, rather than wait. Like the disc brakes on the Vulcan. Prefer fuel injection. No preference to shaft or belt drive unless you folks tell me that I should. Honda included because of reliability, I drove Honda's in the past, although the Aero does not really fit my criteria.
Your thoughts and opinions are appreciated. Once I purchase a bike, I will post pics and become active in this forum.
