From the "new" guy --and others like me--without a bike! I don't know what type of bike I want? A crusier or a sportsbike?

If you are starting off, I'd say, used and cheap over cruiser/sportsbike. Take the motorycle safety foundation beginner class, and do lots of reading and research. Don't drop 20+K on a bike and then find out you are only going to ride 500 miles a year. Start small and forgiving. Just my opinion though...

X3, except I don't think anyone just starting out belongs on a crotch rocket.

I disagree. Starting out on a 1L+ bike is stupid and even some of the 600s are suicidal for beginners. But if you start on one of the smaller ones, you get high braking and handling capabilities. Those are good things.

Yeah, but how silly does a +6 footer look on a 600cc bike??

:lmao:

Ok, I meant one of the bigger ones.

While on my Buell: "Nice Ducati!"

While on my Harley: "Nice Bike! My Dad has one of those too. It's a Goldwing or something?" :roflmao:

My Buell also gets spit on while parked at Tiki, every time. :rolleyes:

Teach the Buell to spit back! :smack:

My favorite is the kid who just got a bike license and wants a Busa!
