    Help

    It's a while off yet being on my learners, but I have no idea what sort of bike I wish to own one day.
    I have narrowed it down to a 600 sports (Daytona 650 is looknig very good for a sports) or a Bonneville..........Any suggestions, like pro's and con's for each?

    Thanks

    I think it comes down to what you want to do on a bike. Sports bikes like going fast on the straights and lots of windy's. But if you prefer just crusing a long, a more cruiser style bike is probably better.
    Life is difficult because it is non-linear.
