Gotta make some mods to it if possible, but being 5’10” this particular bike fit best. You’re right…not much up here in Harley land….
mbmmcaParticipantLots here to consider…thank you. Bikes from 20+ years ago included Yamaha 360 enduro, and a Kaw dirt bike (don’t remember much more about it). The enduro was mine and I rode it daily. Long story short, I was test riding following some repairs. The person I was riding with suddenly took off, and without looking behind me, I followed. I hit gravel, went sideways, and the bike and I bounced off a parking curb. The bike died, I didn’t. The look of my dad’s face when he saw me in the ambulance was enough to do me in. Hadn’t been on a bike since.
Looks like 750-900cc is plenty big enough for me….thanks for the input. Keep it coming. Am I a competent mechanic? Um…muscle cars? Sure! Building one….A bike? Not a chance any more!
