|  Is a 250 too small for a 180 pounder?
Hi I'm new to motorcycles {although I had a 3 wheeler for years growing up} and I was thinking a smaller bike would be easier to learn on and before going to the dealers, I was wondering if say a Virago 250 from Yamaha would be too small? http://www.yamaha-motor.ca/products/...oup=M|&LANG=en Maybe this one would be about the "highest" I should go for first bike? http://www.yamaha-motor.ca/products/...547#contentTop I've read a lot of topics on this site and many others, I can't believe the information/ questions/ answers that are out there. I feel like I've been given 20 years riding experience. I'm 25, a former football player who's still fit, I weigh nearly 180 pounds and I'm 6 feet tall. If it's any use, my legs are somewhat short {30 inch pant leg} and I have somewhat long arms and a large/ tall torso. Thanks for any input you can provide. Push P.S. It surprising how much saftey is involved with this site, waaayyy too many smart riders here, you folks should spread out to other internet forums and teach the unwise. |
