Also you seem to have forgotten the old age problem with the guys whom have been riding for 20 plus years. There comes a time when swing your leg over a bike is painful. You might not be able to support you plus pound bike. At that point it s ether give up or go get a to cc scooter and still have fun. If you keep that heavy motorcycle you ll have to drop another 5 grand plus on a trike kit.
I pay plenty to play, thanks very much. Long time reader, first time commenter lol … Brief background.. Since we used to live in the rockies my first bike was the XT, which was great for those forest service roads and trails and getting to them. Halfway through last season I felt that having a cruiser around for that different riding experience was necessary so also got an M Moral of this story is that all bikes are fun and monogamy does not work when it comes to riding motorcycles. Nope, although your first motorcycle was obviously your best, because it was a dual sport ….
One day, Mark or I shall write a story on why you need at least five motorcycles. I totally agree with your comment! You mean Moto Guzzi! Just awesome bikes! Next one will be the V9 bobber sport! But i must say the ride my Vespa Gts gives me its totally unique and probably the best one! Cheers, safe riding!

Sport bike accidents involve crashes without another vehicle more often than they involve collisions with other vehicles, and these crashes are often associated with high velocity. Your forward-leaning position on a sport bike also makes you prone to fly forward in a crash, and the lower handlebars fail to brace you against your forward velocity.

Home Fitness Biking. Sport Bike Vs. Most ended up on farms or in the garage as play bikes for the kids, which was a much better mission for them anyway. However, the Grom and its chief rival, the Kawasaki Z Pro, are slightly scaled-up versions of those early bikes thanks to disc brakes, fuel injection, and other modern updates. And, surprise, Honda has just re-upped the Monkey as well, but with ccs of power this time around.
Just wear a really, really brightly colored motorcycle helmet. What do you do with that glossy, plastic-covered sportbike after a minor crash that mucks up all that spendy bodywork? Strip off the mangled panels, add some dirt bike handlebars, and, voila , a streetfighter is born.
What began as a low-cost way to get a wrecked sportbike back on the road turned into a cottage industry, with streetfighters taking shape in garages and small shops around the world. With some attention to detail and imagination, a streetfighter can be a major personal style statement. Examples: Ducati Streetfighter, Triumph Street Triple series, Aprilia Tuono, whatever is being built after hours at the little motorcycle shop in your town.
Used to be, the chopper was the sole province of garage builders and outlaw bikers. But after the turn of the 21st century, builders like Indian Larry, Jesse James, and the crew at Orange County Choppers took things to another level of refinement and artistry.
Suddenly, choppers were popping up everywhere as a fashion statement and status symbol. After the custom craze died off, many very expensive hand-built choppers hit the used market at deep, deep discounts and you can still find good deals today.
Just be aware of the cons listed below. Basically, a bobber is a regular motorcycle with all the unnecessary in the opinion of the owner parts removed and maybe a few styling cues added in. Stuff that tends to get ditched includes fenders, side panels, instruments, windscreens, and anything mandated by the government. Just be sure to get a stylish jacket, boots, gloves, and helmet to match your ultra-hip ride.
A bagger is a lighter-duty touring bike, similar to a dresser but with less gear. Comfortable but more minimalist, baggers are great for that weekend getaway or rally road trip.
Lately, baggers have been picking up some perks — like decent audio systems and navigation — while maintaining their sleeker profile. A bagger is a great way to go if you want to do some distance and keep closer to the minimalist tradition of travel by bike. Many cruisers can easily become baggers by adding some saddlebags or cases and a removable windscreen.
For many motorcycle riders, the old bikes are still the best bikes. If you like the classic profile of a vintage bike, consider getting one. Some bikes, mainly Japanese bikes, are considered vintage if they are 20 years old or older. If you want a vintage bike you can ride every day with little worry, you might want to look into a vintage Japanese model. Neither one is safer for a beginner. Take the MSF course and test ride a couple different bikes and choose the one that feels right to you.
