Well,
The Navy paid for my $200 course to learn to ride and I just updated my TX driver’s license today. Now, what bike to choose? First time rider, only ATV’s riding before, no real street riding. I plan to ride it in the neighborhood for a while as the highway is not ready for ol Leo. I am looking for a reliable bike that I can learn on, obviously not a $17k 1200 CC bike or Hyabusa like my buddies suggested a 5’5” beginner rider should buy. I have heard good stuff about the Honda Shadows, Yamaha V stars, and small Harleys. Something under $3k that I don’t mind dropping because like i Said, I am still very new and don’t want to drop a brand new bike obviously. The course was a blast And I never thought I would like riding but I do. Eventually I want a nice street bobber/iron 883/etc …something To chill and cruise on…nothing crayy. I know we have riders in here…any advice would be awesome.
Insurance, gear, maintenance, etc info would be awesome as well.
