|  First Bike Questions
First time poster to this forum and potentially a first time motorcycle (Suzuki) owner. Last weekend I completed my MSF course and yesterday I did the motorcycle shop circuit. I actually enjoyed meeting the different owners, sitting on the different bikes etc. I learned quite a bit about cycle fit and comfort. I was sort of surprised that I couldn't test drive or even rent the bikes due to my lack of experience. But I understand the shop owners reluctance. The most comfortable bike I sat on was the Intruder Volusia 800. The shop owners were very positive about the bike and it seemed to fit me well. I'm 6' 1", 210lbs. Reviews that I've read have been extremely positive. My questions to the forum are; mechanically how does it hold up? Are there any usual problems that people are seeing with the bike? I haven't heard anything yet but maybe someone who owns the bike might be more informed. Finally, any comments from the forum as to that choice as a first bike? Thanks for any assistance. I hope to read and contribute as I can in the future. |
