Thinking of buying a new bike.

Not getting rid of the busa.

Now I'm 6' 2" and weigh 273lb.

So anyone got any advice they could give me please.

I've narrowed it down to a few bikes.

Yamaha-Midnight Star 905A.

Suzuki-M800.
Suzuki-c800.

Kawasaki-VN900 Classic.
Kawasaki-VN900 Custom.

Honda-VT750C shadow.
Honda-Shadow Black Spirit.

Triumph-Speedmaster.
Triumph-America.
Triumph-Bonneville.

Thanks for any help you can give me.:thumbsup:

You should have see Lynne's eyes light up, they was nearly popping out of her head.

The first thing she said was I'm gonna get my full license.:laugh:

And she's narrowed it down to as well already it's between.

Kawasaki VN900 Classic and a Yamaha Midnight Star 950A.:laugh:

She's right bossy.

You're just a little bigger than me, I'm 6'-2" and 260 pounds. Anything in the cruiser category under 1500cc is going to be too small for you.

No offense but your a pretty big dude and the fact that you ride a Busa makes these selections seem a little inadequate...... If you want a cruiser you better go big like a M109 or something like that with some power. I just dont see someone of your stature putting around on a Honda 750 shadow and being satisfied :whistle:

Suzuki M109 or find a used Honda VTX with the 1800. Or if you want to pony up some cash you can get a Harley with a 103ci.

Thanks for the advice everyone.

Can't afford the bigger cc bikes, only got £7000 to spend, and don't like buying second hand bikes.

Also the idea as well was to get the bike so Lynne could ride it when she passes her full test.
