Folks-
After 37 years of drooling over various street bikes and keeping myself restricted to the fields and trails, I've decided to take the plunge and get my license and a street bike.
I've been riding dirt bikes, ATVs, snowmobiles, etc for as long as I can remember. 2 wheeled types ranged from '68 Honda Mini Trail to a late 80s CR500.
I've sat on quite a few bikes like the KLR 650 to large vtwin cruisers. I don't intend to do any cross country trips, just some light commuting and weekend cruising.
I'm a Big&Tall rider 6'3" and 290lbs. Bikes with a 'heel and toe' shifter don't work, as my feet are too big to fit between them.
The plan is for something used to see if I really enjoy being out on the open road. Any suggestions?
