I am trying to buy a jacket and they keep saying soft armor or hard armor and I was like “what do I buy?”. Being new to riding, I wasn’t sure what I should buy. I am still not sure what I am going to buy, but I need something better than what I have now. It’s cold here and I don’t like freezing that much.

My paintball pants and elbow pads work great for riding. They have all the padding I need and lots of ventilation. I just have to be sure that they are washed and cleaned before riding or they will start to smell.

Thanks for the answers.

I plan on it. I don’t have time this week but I will go out this weekend. I’m glad that I found this web site. I never knew about Buell until this place. Thanks.

Wow, I really like the Blast. I found the web site and was reading everything I could and I really like it. It has the very low seat that I am looking for and it looks great to me. I even found a dealer about 1hour 1/2 away. I will have to visit them over the weekend.

Yeah, you are right. 100 is to fast. What I meant to say was on the speedometer it should top at least 100 because you don’t want to do that speed but you want a bike that can cruse at a 65 or 70 without beating you to death while riding it.

Don’t get me wrong here, I am not discounting a 250 but I also don’t want to be run over by a big mack truck. I have sat on an S40 and I am thinking about it, but I haven’t seen many in the for sale adds. I think I did my training on an 500 LTD but I can’t find any around where I am at. I really didn’t look at the bike much. I was more interested in keeping the bike upright and through the turns.

What is a Buell? Who makes it?

What other options are there? I am hopping sometime later this week, I can go by a dealer and sit on a 250 ninja.

Are you talking about the Honda Rebel? I did not like it because it did not go fast enough. It sounds bad but, if you have to do some interstate driving, you want something that says at least 100mph. Now, that is what I was told. Am I getting bad or wrong advice? I have a 5 mile drive on a busy interstate every day. Sometimes it is stop and go traffic.

I have heard about the Nighthawk’s but I have not seen one in person. I haven’t found a dealer that can show me one.

What is a Virago?

What is a GS500f?

I was told that if you lowered the sport bike all the way down, it changes the center of gravity and and can cause the bike to be unsafe. Also, you can cause grounding?
