Greetings all -- Happy 2015. Just passed my MSF course over the holidays, and now it's time to get the 1st bike. Looking for good advice ---- here's where I'm at:
Male: 55
Ht 6'1" Wt 195
Riding experience: None
What I want out of motorcycling: Ride around the neighborhood and big parking lots to learn and get comfortable/confident. NOT a speed guy, see myself more of a cruiser type. In the fullness of time, be able to take trips on back highways, ride w/ new friends, groups, etc.
What I'm thinking: Need a bike to learn on, feel comfortable with , see if I'm for real. Advice from MSF instructor was to look in the 750 - 800 range.
With all this in mind, I have been researching, and came upon Vulcan 800's as one of the cadidates, so I thought I would see what you thought. I'm looking for unbiased advice, and if Vulcan's make sense to you, great. If you have other ideas, please share -- I am open.
