Going to get my Motorcycle Licence. But which bike!!!
Hey Everyone,
I am 19 years old will be 20 this year and I am going to be getting my motorcycle licence sometime next week. Well I need a bike (DUH). I dont want no crotch rocket. I want a nice cruising motorcycle that will get me to point A to point B. I have a crappy back so I want some thing that will have me not leaning forwards like a crotch rocket. My price range is 3000-4000. Looking for year 2000 up. So I have been doing some searching on kijiji. This is what I have found so far.

^I love that bike but its 1100CC that might be a little dangerous for a new rider. That and it has 98000 Km on it. So im iffy but its gorgeous!

^I love this one. Comes with a lot of stuff. Looks nice. 750CC isnt bad. 27500Km is meh.

^Beautiful 2006. Low kms! Good condition. 650CC. Decent accessories.

^Another V-star. Older. More Kms. Lots of accessories. Love the colour.

^Best for last I think. High Kms though. Looks gorgeous.
I am still browsing around but what do you guys and gals think? Once I get some replies back from the sellers I ll go take a look at them.
Thanks,

How much experience do you have riding?
Even 650cc is a lot for an inexperienced rider. Your first bike should ideally be something basic - something light and maneuverable that you can safely learn the fundamentals on.

I think I would do fine with a 650 or 750 CC. Im a big guy so something with a little more CC to move my fat butt might be better haha.
I'm not sure how tall you are, I'm 5'11'', and found the v-stars frame to short. I preferred the Kawasaki's better, as the frame is longer. Better look too. You sat on any of the bikes yet to even get a feel for how they feel?
