What To Start With?

[alexd 12]

Hi all,

Got the motorcycle bug, taking the class on 7/6/12, now trying to figure out what bike I should look into, spoke with a few friends who ride and some say get 250cc, some say 500cc and others say go for 750cc. I know it is a loaded question, but would like some more opinions on this.

Thank you,

Alex

I highly disagree with anything below 750cc!! I've had my license for just over a year. My class was all on 250cc - SUCKED!! Especially as a big girl... I looked ridiculous on that tiny thing!

I ride a Honda Shadow 1100. LOVE the 1100 =) My husband as a HD Street Glide 103, about 1800cc if calculated to metric.

I did ask the doctor if riding would cause any problems. He said just during the recovery phase. The only lifting involved is bringing the bike off the kickstand - definitely more than 20lbs! I'll be sad to not ride for a month or so, but it'll be worth it!

Good luck in your purchase. It's the BEST THING IN THE WORLD!!!

Always go bigger. If not you'll be shopping for a bigger bike in no time.
