    50 they say is the new 40? You should see me when I get out of bed in the morning. Anyway, I always wanted a motorcycle. Street bike, Cruiser? 250cc or 600cc? Remember, be kind! I’m 50!

    The short answer is that it depends. What kind of riding are you interested in? Carving quickly through lots of S turns, leisurely cruises down the road, commuting through highways or city traffic? When you imagine enjoying a motorcycle, what kind of ride do you picture yourself on?

    You’ll find that the majority opinion here is to start on a less powerful bike to build up your skills. That usually means starting in the 250 to 500cc range.
