I currently ride a 08 Kawasaki 1500 Vulcan Classic fi.
I like the comfort and smoothness.
Wife likes the room on it and comfort since added a trunk.
I like the storage since trunk and saddle bags.
I have various other sizes.
Something to consider.
How long of trips you plan to take?
Are you ever going to ride 2 up?0 -
Today is the 40th anniversary of getting my first motorcycle.
I was given a Honda 50 for my 8th birthday, years of racing (dirt and road course) and numerous crashes (dirt/track/street) and I still ride.

Bike is a 2007 Triumph Speed Triple that now has about 37,000 miles on it - I got it new in August 2007.....
Due to my experience I wear gear on every ride - on short trips I will wear kevlar jeans, on longer trips I am a full-leathers kind of rider....
Feel free to mention power rangers and generally tell me I am a jerk for advocating full gear or explaining that it is too hot for leathers where you live. Many people do. But I've come off 'at speed' on a couple of occasions and actually worn through 1.6mm of fine italian leather as I have slid along the road, I have also worn soft spots in a helmet and escaped with little more than concussion......
oh and first bike ?
Ninja 250, then after 5000 miles an SV650, then after 10K and half a dozen track days, maybe a sports 600 if you want to actually learn to ride.
Otherwise it is up to you, but the more intimidating the bike, the less you learn.

I've been riding solo alongside hubby for 28 years. My first bike was a '65 Harley Panhead. Hubby fixed up a '80 Harley Wide Glide to get me off the Panhead - he said I was putting too many miles on it! I now have a '01 Harley Road King. I still ride all three bikes. Love my Harleys0

NOOOO NO MOTARD. I saw a handsome, tall, sexy man with a helmet at a coffee shop one day, and he immediately caught my attention... UNTIL I saw him go get on his scooter. Go shop to shop, test out bikes. See what you like. Then decide. My first bike was a Honda Nighthawk 550, which was an excellent first bike. Now I ride a Vulcan Meanstreak. VROOM VROOM!!!! ah FREEDOM... it's wonderful...0

HA ME TOO!! Mine is a 2008 Custom red and black though0 -
Honda VTX 1800r....see pics....should be in the back of my truck. I'm 6' and handle it great.
Why do I ride? The freedom honestly. Being open and on a winding road, just me, no one to bother me...it's peaceful, relaxing.0 -
Looking through old posts here and found this one.
My new ride when I brought it home. `06 Victory Vegas Jackpot
And here it is now0 -
Nope....but would love too.....0

No but if I did I would ride a Harley0

Heritage Softail, everyone in our family rides. Awesome family together time0

I started with an 82 Honda CB 450T, my learning bike, which I rode for 2 years. Upgraded to an 84 Honda Hawk which wasnt too bad (650cc). I now ride an 03 Dyna Wide Glide. This is the most comfortable of the 3 bikes for sure. Doesn't feel like a gust of wind is going to push me off the road either. My husband loves his 02 Sportster, he must love it as he's put 175,000 miles on that bike.0

I ride, my first street bike was a 250 Honda Rebel, i have had Suzuki's and other Honda's. I didnt get my first Harley 1200 Sportster till 2005, then a Softail Standard and then a Softail Deluxe. I love the sound of a Harley but respect anyone who rides regardless of make or model. My ride now is HD 2009 Street Glide, my favourite bike this far. I would like to someday own something Vintage in Harley or a New Triumph. Best of luck on your new purchase:drinker:
Ride Easy0 -
No but I totally want to take some pictures on someone's bike so I can look hotter than I am. :-)0

Did, but I was in college and my Daddy never knew. (Yikes, STILL afraid to think about that.). -Had a Ninja. (College was a LONG time ago...).0

I ride a 01 Vstar 650, It pushes me around just fine. Smaller bikes are great to start on, I hope to move up some day but for now I'm fine.0

And drive a lambo gallardo for when I wanna hang with the boys! LOL :drinker:

Get a 1200. You'll grow out of a 650 in a year.0
