Is the Harley V-Rod an ok choice for a first motorcycle?
I’m considering getting a motorcycle and really like the style of the Harley V-Rod or possibly one of the Victory models I recently saw that is similar in overall shape / size.
I’m 41, 5′ 11″ 210lbs in “reasonably” good health and I’ve NEVER ridden a motorcycle before.
I have a lot of current road & mountain bicycle experience but other than basic balance I do not think the skill set will be all that similar fo an experience.
I have also ridden a small 125 dirt bike just as recreation for a few years off road years ago but other than that nothing.
I fully intend to take a local motorcycle training class but that will probably only give me a few hours of riding experience on a smaller bike.
So, given my lack of experience, I’m wanting opinions on if this choice of bike would be ok as a first bike or if I would possibly be endangering myself with this choice.
Any thought or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!
i don’t advise it as a first bike..too fast ..too heavy..too expensive
