I'm thinking that by this time next year, I'ma own me a motorcycle.

Where's a good place to start? I've never ridden one.

/said in a scooby doo villain voice

Nah but I saw one of my friends friends had some little like toy one that was the subject of ridicule, but defended as a beginner bike albeit an expensive one. They were talking some engine size business.

Geeno....you need to start on at least a 750!

Anything smaller will only have you wanting a bigger one. Talk to me~

By something you don't have to work on constantly..... like a Harley... That is NOT what you want... everyone I've ever known who has one of these has to do constant work and haven't ever been on a ride where a HD rider didn't have to stop and fix something half serious.

Any company whose riders joke 'Its not leaking, It's just a Harley' can't be good.

My Dad, who has been an avid die hard american muscle car man for as long as I can remember bought a Honda.

Where are you going to be doing most of your riding Geeno? In a town, open road, dirt tracking?
Do you want to go long distances or just local?

There are a lot of different bikes suitable for different purposes.

Don't buy an american bike unless you just want to use it as a toy.
