I started on an ’05 Rebel, simply because I knew I needed experience and practice, and I knew where I could get one pretty cheaply.
I always thought that I’d eventually move up to something bigger, because I hope I will be doing some 2-up riding one day. Apparently times are tough for the new bike salesmen, though, and a heck of a deal on a new Vulcan 500 has moved me up faster than I expected. But I put in 2,000 miles on the Rebel in about 3 months, and I feel like I was ready.
So far, the Vulcan has been all that I was expecting. I can see me keeping this ride for a long time.
