| *Vultures Knob>>>Cruiser Bike |
Looking for an easy riding motorcycle for a 24 yr old? |
Hi, I'm 24 yrs old and a motorcycle fanatic. I used to have a kawasaki zx-6 ninja which was super fast but unfortunately i got into an accident and had to get rid of my hobby. I've recently recovered from my fear of bikes and would like to purchase another one. But this time, i don't want to get a sports bike, as they're uncomfortable and no fun unless you ride them at 100mph. At the same time i don't feel old enough to be riding a cruiser, its just not my style. Therefore i'm interested in the naked sport bike category and would appreciate any advice or help regarding what bike to chose. I'm interested in the triumph STREET triple and the ducati monster. Are those good/fun bikes to ride? What?! Don't give up on the Ninja! I'm younger than you and what's the use of riding if you're not doing 120? What's to be afraid of? Just make sure you're helmet matches your bikes paint exactly, you'll be safe! those are both great choices....i would lean toward a buel or a sportster HD You just got over your fear of bikes and you want to wrap yourself around a telephone pole again on a triple or a Monster? Seriously...if you want to survive, try slowing down and riding a bike that isnt meant to break land speed records. Riding is a responsibility, its not a game. I'm 24 and I ride a 2001 Suzuki GS500. It's a naked bike, and it's not powerfull enough to get too crazy with. If you still want the power look into a Honda CB599 or CB919. They all sit more upright and still have some killer style. Maybe you could look into a BMW, they have a lot of more mature options. I'm not much help on the ducati or triumph. I'm looking at getting a Buell blast.. You can find nice ones with low miles on ebay for less than $3,000. I'm 22 and have a SV650S. Mine is the faired version but they do have naked ones out there. This bike is a lot of fun to ride even if you are not going over 100. It's very responsive and has a lot of spunk. It's not that expensive and it is a great beginners bike. I think you would really enjoy this. This thread shows the UK/US cultural difference. When I lived in the UK, people rode bikes as a primary form of transport, rather than a hobby (no offence intended). When I sold my last bike (pre-exup FZR1000), it was to slow down TO 100mph :-) Idid the same thing again recently, to slow down - I sold my Corvette & got a Toyota FJ Cruiser :-) 15 years, I'm thinking about a bike again & I AM thinking about a cruiser - but a power cruiser, like the Yamaha/Star Midnight Warrior, or the new V-Max, if they even bring it out. I MIGHT think about a Triumph Speed Triple, too. I would NEVER get a HD - too slow, heavy & down on HP. Sometimes limited quantities make it hard to get what you want. |
