Good beginner bike. Good city bike for a long time rider. As easy as any, the MSF uses them for teaching people who have never ridden before. For any given person, you are less likely to be involved in a collision on a bike than in a car. If you do get into a collision, in the car you have a...

OR? Everyone on the road should be concerned with safety. Two vehicle collision? Legally it would be the "fault" of whichever failed to obey the law. Most could have been avoided by expecting and watching for the law breaker. Bell System Policy is that there are no unavoidable accidents...

Depends on what speed you want to be able to go. For a maximum speed of 35 mph a 50cc scooter will suffice. The Yamaha C3 has the lockable storage of a small car. This might work back East somewhere, but here on the Left Coast only being able to do 35 will kill you. Next up, speeds to 50...

Bart is against it so it must be a good bike. I had a Suzuki GS450E back in '82 or so. Took it from Los Angeles to Just north of San Fransico up the Interstate, mostly around 85mph. Very buzzy, need to stop hourly for a 5 minute cigarette break. After a night's rest continued on to Seatle via...

Possibly, but why? Odds are that you have a broadband connection. Since you have two computers you should have a router so both can connect to the Internet. Thus you have a home network and all you need to do is share your drives to your network.

My wedding gift to my wife was a Ruger .45 Blackhawk, 22 1/2 years ago, both still here. Pictures lie. Twenty years from now you will look the same as you do now, contrary to what some 'boudoir photo' may claim.

I don't understand. Why would people think you are homosexual if you ride a smaller motorcycle? Why would you even care what other people think. Are you worried that other homosexuals will come on to you and you will give in to temptation? I'm sorry, but I have never cared what others' think...

Find a dealer and sit on one. Everyone has a different opinion on what fits. One person, 6'4", may feel comfortable on a bike that another person, 5'8" thinks is too small and cramped.

Talk about apples and oranges. Again it is more of a question of WHERE will you be riding. The Honda is a cruiser, as in "let's get on a highway and cruise!" It is a far better bike than the Ninja if you will be taking off on weekend trips. The Kawasaki is 200 pounds lighter, far easier to...

it is an acceptable bike, the 250R is often touted as a started bike and is more than acceptable on both city streets and highways. He is no more likely to be killed on the bike than in a car. If he is a reckless lead-foot hothead he will be toast. Otherwise it's cool

Because Harley Davidsons don't fall apart there are a lot more old Harleys than old Hondas.

Almost anything is possible. I've mounted a 12v power outlet (the cigar lighter thing) on my little Suzuki. Just hit the auto parts store, get the outlet, mount it where you want it and wire it up to a suitable hot, using a fuse of course.

What scooter? Why do you think a scooter is not a real street bike? Why not just upgrade your scooter? If you want the look of a small scooter the Vespa 300 looks safe. If simply a 'scooter' a Suzuki 650 Bergman will work.

Honda has dropped the CB250 for 2009, get a 2008 before they are gone. Or an earlier used one as they have been around since the 1980's and still retain the drum brakes front and rear. The TU250 is new for 2009, has a disk up front where all the braking force is. As a long time dirt rider you...

It will easily outrun the cages, will exceed any legal speed limit. It will not keep up with the idiots on the 600cc sport bikes. What do you want the bike to do?

Depending on where you are, the MSF Basic RIder Course will cost somewhere between Nothing and $250. Take it. They will have you up on two wheels in a weekend or two. A pedal bicycle is too controllable by shifting your weight, so it wouldn't really be that useful toward riding a motorcycle...

"Better" depends on what you want. Since you want the DR then the DR is the better of the two bikes -- for you. You need to learn that you do not need the approval of others to do what you want, as long as what you want to do is legal.

Yeah, but the people buying the 650's, liter and larger motorcycles are not looking for a highway commuter. Actually the 250 Ninja is enough for a comfortable highway commute.

I replaced the stock horn on my Savage with a pair (high tone / low tone) 138db "highway blaster" car horns. Had to run the power to them through a horn relay. My bike now sounds like a full size American Pickup Truck.
