We have an 18 year old son who will be graduating from high school and also receiving his AA degree from college (early start program) at the same time in June. He has been drooling over Thruxtons for the last couple of years so that is our leaning for him. There's something to be said for what he has achieved at 18 and has proven beyond responsible so we will be purchasing a bike for him as a gift. Obviously a Triumph. He is an experienced dirt bike rider but no time on the street. Any suggestions or input?
