After 20 years, I'm returning to the bike. I will complete my MSF class this week and then go shopping for m'lady. I've recently sat a several bikes and narrowed it down to two that I like the best: Kawasaki Vulcan 900 and Suzuki M50.
Both bikes have great features, but aside from what the salesman says, I don't have much information as to the strengths and weaknesses of each.
That being said, I'm leaning towards the M50. I like the muscle-bike look, cast wheels (vs. spoked), and the seemingly straighter handlebars (amongst over things).
Does anyone wanna gimme their 0.02 worth?
p.s. I am 6'2", 270 lbs (and going down
