Hi all,
Am just starting out riding and have a question about bike choice. I am
going out tomorrow to look, but have a query about cruisers and tall people.
I have heard that the Yamaha V-Star is the most comfortable for tall people,
but the new price is too high. How do the Virago or the Honda Shadow rate
for taller riders (6'4")? Also, I have heard the Shadow is not being brought
into Aus anymore - would that be a problem.
Thanks,
Jason |

if your a biggy maybe a 250 dirt bike is the way to go
or maybe a hybrid 650 like the suzuki dl650? (if your in a lams state)
(dunno if the dl is a lams bike tho- im in vic)

Jason, go and ask <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.netrider.org.au/forums/" target="_blank">http://www.netrider.org.au/forums/</a> . They are very helpful
down there.
Most people here are either too old and tired to answer nooby questions or
just plain selfish.
