you can find honda rvt1000r between 3-5k. a cheaper option is his younger brother, the vtr1000 for about 2-4k. more sensible shocks for street riding, and a little more tame of an engine.

benefits of a vtwin over an inline engine is more usable torque in the rpm range you will be riding in the city. goldwings are for old men. scooters are for the gays.

Get a very powerfull bike, dont take any leasons, helmets are for pussies, A ride always is much nicer after a 6 pack.

been on dirt for most of my life but i started riding on the street when i was 17. currently riding a vtr1000.

Didn't read this thread.

Would suggest Yamaha - go with 600cc. Don't be a geek and get a Ninja if you're a big white guy. Harleys are too expensive to be in that price range. Also don't be a jackass or get 1100cc or something ridiculous like that. You will kill yourself before you even figure out how to pedal shift.


Have you taken the training yet?

I skipped getting a bike in LA after I got into a wreck out here (which would have easily killed me had I been on the bike). If I still lived in Texas, I'd own one.

those are stupid. i tried to test ride one at a fair once back when they first came out. too heavy for me to test, but from what i saw of other people they had shit handling at slow speeds.
