Welcome! Don't mind GG he didn't get the memo that this forum is about all bikes and not the same boring thing regurgitated over and over. After all it's YOUR money so spend it on what makes YOU happy. SV650's are great starter bikes if that happens to be what you like, but if you want something else you will regret not getting what you really wanted in the first place.

Cruisers are great bikes to start out on, I did I even bought my first one in Austin at Woods Honda 15 years ago while I was stationed in Ft. Hood. It was a 1996 VT600 Shadow VLX Deluxe and I think it had more letters in it's name than it did horsepower! What an awesome little bike it was, I put almost 40k miles on it in the first two years I owned it and even rode it to PA twice and even did 1100 miles in one day on it. I had so much fun on that little thing and I still miss it every day. A year after I started riding I did add a FZR600 to my collection which was another awesome starter bike but I still liked the Shadow better. My advice for you is ride everything you can get you hands on, you never know what might tickle your fancy.

My 600 Shadow a week after I bought it riding near Waco, note the smile-

My FZR-

My current cruiser-

I'm still not a cruiser fan but this makes me tingly in my happy bits. Or happy in my tingly bits. Either way, I want to ride it.

G'day newbie! If only you'd joined a wee bit earlier - was in Austin in April on my cross-country ride. Maybe next time ...

As others have said, don't mind guitargeek - he means well (and is quite a nice bloke in person!)

Welcome and enjoy your sojourn amidst the inmates ...

I'm kinda wanting this. Really, and it's not just to piss off the Gentleman from Oklahoma. I can't afford it, and would not own it as my only bike, but it sure does look like a whole helluva lotta fun.

If I haaaaad to choose a cruiser, it'd be that one. It's like an MT-01 that's been squashed.

Vitiare · Post by **Vitiare** » Wed Aug 24, 2011 2:57 pm

Not a bad looking bike. Low slung and powerful. Nice lines!

I used to feel that way until I sat on one. Hated the feel from the seat.

Well, it's a cruiser. Hard to get away from that Barcalounger posture.

Yeah, the ZL would also be a good choice, if one had to choose.

You all suck. Especially the new guy. All your bikes are slow turd buckets. And they suck too. You will all lick my balls when the new DOOM machine bitch slaps all your bikes sandy lil cunny holes. You will all kneel before its terrorist glow. Be humbled by its sheer omnipotence. Cowering in its glorious baxkroad burning glory. You will all burn.

Bitches.
