Well, I finally did it... 37 years old and I finally went and got a motorcycle endorsement on my license. I NEVER road a motorcycle before (except for a short stint on a Rokon, but that doesn't count)... Took a MSF rider's edge class and had a blast.
Don't want a Harley, don't want a rocket. Just a good stable tour/dirt road bike. Commute around town (Grand Junction, Colorado) and make highway blasts to my true home in Leadville, Colorado. 150 miles of I-70 Highway.
I like the price, I like the seat height ( I have a 29" inseam) Not to small/Not to Big.
Would a more street orientated bike be better? Am I getting in over my head or am I going to want to trade in a year...
The Kawasaki & Hondas seem a bit more dirt orientated. Yamaha doesn't seem to have a 500+cc Dual sport....
I guess its better than the folks going out a buying a full dress Electraglide as their first bike
