Subject: Re: @ as a first bike?
Well Andrew,
Quick feedback,
Almost seems like a silly question. I certainly don't want to insult you,
but any bike could be right for a first bike.
I might catch some flack for this one.
It's all a matter of taste, riding style, (with that an individuals
personality), terrain and perhaps the individuals physical size. If all of
these initial thoughts put you on an @ I would say go for it. As for myself
, my first real bike was an old Honda 550 four cylinder, and then jumped to
a Harley Sporty, the sporty was small so I moved to a softail model. All the
time I had these street bikes I also owned some sort of duel purpose bike.
First was a Kawasaki KLE 400 cc, Great bike in Japan, but again little
following here. Then to the TransAlp, and now a 98 @, while still owning a
HD, and alweays looking at other models. I feel I have many riding
personalities, each bike has its' own riding style and any one of these
bikes could be an everyday bike. You need to make the final judgement for
yourself.
I hope I haven't bored everyone.
Bob
