Opinions are like assholes I suppose. I like the way it looks. Though I do agree about the miles, they are kind of high. But I wouldn't ride it much and I wouldn't be paying that much either. I did find while looking up bikes that mileage isn't really factored into the value.

I'm 6'0" 185lbs
I used to ride small 100cc's (cluchless) back in the day when I was 14-16.. that's as far as my experience goes.
but I really liek the bike, and anything around 750cc looks like shit.
if I was to get a used 750cc to fuck around with first, what type of mileage do you think is acceptable for a bike?
I like the way that one looks. 1300cc does seem a bit big for a starter. But then again, some people pick things up quick.

A buddy of mine has a Honda shadow that looks something like this.

I like the looks of this one as well.

Gramps have you figured into the purchase cost of a bike the fact that you'll have to have a custom helmet constructed to fit around your massive, square head?

Won't people think it's weird when they see what looks like someone riding a bike down the road with a cardboard box on their head?

Well the guy was suppose to call me today about the title transfer and never did. I'm kind of hoping that's a sign. The guy is a dealer and I really want a sporty coup for a weekend car. I'm suppose to give him a hand getting his hot tub hooked up. So maybe that favor will work into a better car deal.

Depends if you can control yourself from riding like a moron or not. And chances are you will drop it at slow speed doing a U-turn or something. I would never buy a bike with more than 15,000km on it.

woah, a proper post, eey. :up:

That picture came up in a Honda Shadow search. I've only seen his bike a couple of times and was told it was a shadow. Either way his bike looks similar and that bike looks sick.

Nope, I don't. Though I'd bet we'd be hard pressed to find someone here who could identify every variation of every model year of every motorcycle manufacturer. Not sure though.

These are nice. A friend has one and I gave it a run a few weeks ago.

Have you been on a bike before? If not (since you admitted you don't know bikes) then you'd be crazy starting off with a big Harley (lol redneck bike, etc) and should get a smaller bike instead.

I've ridden before. Though it has been several years. However, an 1130cc bike for someone who's 6'2" 190+lbs isn't "big". But I appreciate your concerns.

If you think so. I suppose I'd have to own a bike and ride it hazardously first. But hey, why should that stop anyone from jumping to conclusions?

He's saying the bike is too big in relation to your riding experience, not your height and weight you twit.
