I've never ridden before. I am thinking of taking classes and getting a bike. I am 6 foot, 185 lbs. Would a Vulcan 900 or 1500 (or Vulcan Mean Streak) too much for me to start on?
I really appreciate all the answers. I had seen this question posted but not for a new rider. I have a friend that took a class and got a v900 and said he was ready for a 1500 a couple weeks later. Maybe that's a bit overzealous. I am planning on doing a class and I think the idea of doing that and asking the instructor makes a lot of sense. I don't want to have to buy something and then upgrade, but I definitely will avoid the 1500 for sure!
