This is a continuation to my, “Thinkin bout getting my first bike”, thread posted back in March.
I’m scheduled to take the riding class to learn to ride and get my license in mid August. I’m now looking at 100’s if not 1,000’s of bike adds. Regardless of what I get, I will want to add a sissy bar and full windshield. I think it may be important to mention that I'm 6'3" - 175 lbs. with 36" legs and 36" arms. Here’s a few links to what I find appealing so far:
2005 Honda Shadow Aero VT750
I love the look, but am concerned about the low 25.9" seat height.
2005 Honda Shadow Sabre VT1100C2
2004 Suzuki Volusia 800 SE
2005 Yamaha V Star Classic
I'm very curious to see what the "Kawasaki 2005 Vulcan 800 Drifter" will look like. Especially since the specs claim a seat height of 29.9".
I expect that I'll probably be buying a used bike, but I'm not likely to consider anything more than a few years old.
Any words of wisdom appreciated.
