Yes that is a good starter bike to learn on and feel comfortable on the road. After a few years you might start thinking of a bigger bike. Which is fine, bikes don't lose value all that much. I sold my wife's first bike for $100 less than I paid for it.
Very cool, thanks for sharing with us. I nominate Darlene as our resident crystal ball. Keep us posted if she predicts what happens to RW, Nix, Chan and the Stach.
I have a 07 Suzuki Boulevard 750cc, I'm thinking about getting a new Harley, not sure of which model yet. Also looking at Victory motorcycles. But probably going the HD route.
