I am fairly new to motorcycles. I have always been drawn into motorcycles since i was a kid, and since my uncle had one i was always wanting him to teach me how to ride. Back then it was a 150cc that he taught me how to use. He had around 6 bikes of all power. Now that i am 19 I have been looking to purchase a bike of my own. I have taken a riding class at Harley Davidson, but I just need some help on what type of bike i should buy. Like I said I am 19, about 6’4 230lbs. Anyone got any ideas?

July 15, 2010 at 3:33 am #27506Clinton _The Bull_ CosterParticipantWell I am more into choppers, I am not really a speed bike type of guy. The area that I will mainly use it is big city and for traveling to and from California. I live in Scottsdale so its almost all highway driving I do. I have been looking into what type I want and I have settled for either a 250cc or 500cc, but I don’t really know what style or anything else for that matter, I do know that I will probably have a passenger most of the time so I want a bike that can easily hold up to 500lbs.
July 15, 2010 at 11:10 am #27509WeaponZeroParticipantTry looking into the Kawasaki Vulcan 500. You should still be able to find some even though they were discontinued last year. Yamaha V-Star 650 and Honda Shadow 750 aren’t bad choices either.
July 15, 2010 at 11:11 am #27510Jeff in KentuckyParticipantI would look at the 500cc Kawasaki Vulcan, the 750cc Honda Shadow, or the Suzuki M50 or C50.
