I have been saving for a while and this time I want to buy a cruiser. I have priced out 08 Vulcan 900 Classic and 08 Boulevard C50LE but I have always wanted a M109R.
I am a very careful person and react well to numerous situation. However, I am only 5'6" 175 lbs. I have sat on M109R, and thought it was extremely heavy as it is ~1800cc bike, but thought I could handle it as I was waddling back and forth on it.
I know myself well and I know I will get bored right away if I settle on a bike that I can handle at this time. Also, I am married, but don't have a baby planned for 2 years, so this will be the last big spending I can afford without worrying about other finances.
Please talk me out of it or into it.....I will be buying this new as I don't see too many options where I live (Fargo, ND) without adding on shipping issues.
Thank you in advance. |
Ive been riding for 22 years.Ive had them all Gsxr 750 then 1100 then CBR 900 RR.I right now own a suzuki intruder 1500.
I have been looking at the 109r and it is sick.The problem is your in experience and the thrill when you twist the throttle of a bike with 127 horse power stock.
The fact you said you would get bored if you had a bike you could handle says it all.Get the 109r and you may not be able to handle it and then it gets ugly.
I would try a little older bike.They are very dependable and when your ready to upgrade you can sell it for what you owe on it.
Trust me my lip is bleeding I want the 127 horse power and the 240 rear tire.Good luck with whatever you do ride safe.
