haakon59You know, the Suzuki salesperson pitched me that bike, the M50, and I loved the styling. The weight was fine too, but I didn’t have a sense of how much 800 cc’s really was, especially for a beginner, so there is no way I will do that–for now anyway, until I had some experience. I think 250cc’s is going to be fine for me. Although I have been reading that many have outgrown their bike after 6 months, which I might too, but I am guessing I won’t. The only way I care about speed is to have enough on the freeway for tight situations. In general, I don’t think I will rider my 250 on the freeway anyway but mostly for around town. I have been floating the idea of whether it would be wise to look into the Kawasaki 500 (also a cruiser style) as a way to buy a bike I can keep a little longer before I outgrow it. 500cc will even be enough for me when I am experienced, is my feeling. Partly, I want good gas mileage as well. So should I consider this? I will have to consider it, but I personally think a 250 might be fine for me for a long time–more than 6 months anyway. I was just trying to avoid buying another bike so soon. So I am going to consider the 500, which is the biggest I will consider, but I will probably get the 250–I would rather work on my skills on a forgiving bike, I think. Thank you. This forum has quite a few people with good advice, so I appreciate your input.
