I'm looking at obtaining my learners license at the beginning of the year. I'm a big dude, 6'0 130kg (on a good day). I'd be commuting about 100kms a day and was wondering what a solid beginner bike would be for big guys.
I've read forums and it's usually unanimous that it all depends on the feel of the bike. How comfortable one is with a bike, what feels better when sitting on a bike, confidence and the rest.
I'm thinking with my size and distance I'd be travelling each day that a 250 is probably not gonna get the job done, am I right?
I've looked at bigger bikes but I really don't want to dump a lot of money into my beginner bike. I was looking at a couple of 650s, the Suzuki S40 mainly, the Hyosung gv650 as another. The problem is the s40 seems a bit small and the Hyosung is well, a Hyosung.
I apologize if these questions have been addressed elsewhere, but I really haven't had a chance to scour THESE forums and was hoping to find someone, a big someone, who might have some incite regarding my particular situation.
Oh, btw, I'm not opposed to 250s, I'd gladly rock a 250 if a 250 will have me, but I have a big ass and I'd need a bike that can appreciate a man bear.
Thanks in advance.
