I wish I could remember where I read that sportbike back position was better for you than cruiser position. I'm guessing cruiser guys slouch.

I agree, get what YOU want... if she wants to ride on the back THEN find a compromise... Tuono, Speed Triple, Fz1 or something more sport touring... I say buy a brand new FJR or Concourse, bring it home & say "HEY HONEY, I did what ya told me to do... here's our cruiser!"

Always had a problem with the age thing when it came to motorcycles. My parents told me i was to young and now my siblings tell me I am too old... Some body is full of ..it.
In 05 I was 54 and bought a 04 Z1000. The dealer never said anything about my age. I was too big for a 636 though. |

Ive seen dudes older than you on a sportbike. If youre still comfortable on one, buy it. Thats the key, I have a buddy who is 23 with pretty bad knees that still cant get comfortable on a sportbike.

Fuck that... the only reason OLD people should "graduate" to a non sportbike... is if they can't take the riding position anymore...
there was a guy that lived across the street from me in AK... dude had to be mid 60's... he had a MV Agusta F4, Ducatti 748, and several others that I only saw with out their fairings (two were Ducatti's... the others I couldn't tell) Reall nice guy but he was really fuck'n shy... though he did come out and talk to me for about 40 mins when I first got my bike out... but buy what bike your comfortable on... chances are... in 10 years it'll be considered comfortable and relaxed compared to the new line |
