Default buell...

i have been wanting a motorcycle for sometime now, but taking it slow, i am going to take the class at tcc, but i have been looking at buells and the blast seems fine for a starter but i heard i will be bored with it quick.. then i look at the other buells and they are right around 1000cc+ ... so bad idea to pick up a 900cc buell as a starter?.... so what are some good 500/600 cc start bikes?. Nick

a 900cc buell is like a 600 inline jap bike, youll be fine but you will get bored! XB9R is a nice bike as is the 12.

its a Harley, sluggish V-twin. The bike is nothing like the V-twin of a Ducati, Aprillia or RC51.

The Ninja 500 and GS 500 are good starter bikes. I plan on picking up a Ninja 500 next spring/summer.

From RC51.org:

If you are a good rider it will prove & exploit your skill to the world, if you are mediocre it will kick you in the teeth & laugh at you. It is purpose built for strafing curves, serious commuters or tourers need not apply. It can light a fire in your soul that is not fueled by adrenaline, but by passion & when you ride it nothing else matters except it, you & making the next turn
