Tried some bikes for size today...

[LilSel]

So im looking around for a new bike... havent sold mine yet nor my spare car... so have to get onto that...

Tried on for size quite a few bikes... couldnt even get tip toes down on the majority of them

Was looking at sports tourer type (more upright) than supersport.

Till I sat on a cruiser.... n it fit really good... so now im unsure what I want as a cruiser seems to be more 'fitting' & comfortable...
Going to take an 08 vstar 650 custom for a test ride during the week... see how I go with that... I really like faired bikes & my lil ZZR is perfect... but it is possible that a 'change' may be on the cards!!

Oh... & I split my dress trousers swinging my leg over a 6R... haha...

Going shopping for work pants this afternoon so dont have to fix these ones ah the joys of being a short ass!!! !

[fireball]

ahhh converted to the dark side.....(almost)

[skidMark]

Buy fireballs fast as cruiser au!.

We'll assume you split your trousers swinging your leg over an R6 rather than a restricted license.

[Nagash]

Woot! Cruisers ftw,

Or you can do what i'm looking at doing and get a Sports Cruiser..

Just the low seat height for some people is a god-send. S'pecially if you anywhere near as short as fireball..

Turbo it auuu!

Turbo it auuu!

I really think im starting to seriously consider the cruiser aye...
its the only one thats taken my fancy apart from the kawasaki mean steak ... but at 20k... outta my budget lol

[jrandom]

Methinks madame should check out the new CB600F.



You also need to ride a Harley Davidson XL883 Sportster:



Both procurable within your budget.

Come to think of it, the Sporty could be the perfect bike for you.

(Sorry, I just have to include another picture of one...)

What cruiser is it your looking at?

If it's the Vstar 650 I think you'll thoroughly enjoy it..

Quite a bit of bike to lug around but those Japanese can do amazing things with their tiny fingers. If anyone can make a big bike fly it's the Japanese.

And also, i'm looking a Harley Sportster 883 myself but the general review is it's more of a show bike, with very little power and about 100 mile tank range.. Though I shall have to test ride one for myself.

If you're talking about the Special Edition, I'm with you. This bike made me dream, but was a bit heavy (coming from a 250) and my wallet wasn't. One day...

[R6_kid:Me]

Check out the ducati monster's... S2R 800 was a very nice bike, comes standard with adjustable ride height. The particular one i rode was lowered 1in front and back, no ground clearance issues, plenty of power too. My g/f fit on it fine and shes about you're height from memory.

Servicing is usual oil + filter ever 10k and replace the belts every 20k... so by no means expensive, though slightly more involved than a Jappa.
