Hi Everyone,

This is my first post so hello and thanks for the great site.

I’m looking into getting my first bike and wanted to know if the Triumph American would be a good choice. I have been doing some research and resources on the Internet seem to say that you should start out on a 250cc bike. Seasoned riders that I know tell me that I should be looking at something over 650cc’s in a cruiser style bike so that I can get away if needed. I’m 35 so I don’t think that I’ll be tempted to push my boundaries too much. What are your thoughts?

Thanks for the help.
