Hello all,
I'm new here so if there is a more appropriate board for this question I apologize, and feel free to have it moved.
I'm a 33 year old male with zero experience riding motorcycles, but I've always wanted to learn how to ride. I've always loved the aesthetic of the triumph bonneville, and therefore it is me dream bike.
I'm starting this thread so that all of you experienced riders can chime in and hopefully give some recommendations.
Ok, so I'm looking for that perfect beginner bike to learn on before purchasing a bonneville. I've had a few friends tell me to just go ahead and by the bonnie as my first bike, I think that's crazy. So I'm looking for a 250cc bike that would be a good one to learn on, and in the same riding style as a bonneville. So more of a standard riding position I suppose.
Additional info:
- 6'2 with 32" inseam
- 230 lbs.
Somebody recommended the Suzuki tu250x, and I quite like that, though I haven't had a chance to sit on it yet. So if you have any advice on what classes I should take first, bikes you would recommend etc. please chime in.
Thanks in advance.
