yeah i think i'm gonna take the suggestion of buying a cheap bike..i found a 1980 honda cx500 that seems like it would be fun. and the only reason i would get a sport bike is if they were as cheap to insure, but from the research i've done, they're not. so that's out. plus i think i'll have more fun on a cruiser. ultimately i love the look of the 1986 honda shadow vt700. so classic. i just sat on a friend's r6, and revved it, and it made me wonder if i would want that 15 1/2 thousand rpm range...cuz it does sound good...
and yeah. i'm definitely considering the saftey aspects of it. i'll have a car to drive anyways. so it's not like i'd be on a bike only. and i've been in an accident before and it sucked and made me a really cautious driver. and now that i have a two seater sports car with no airbags, abs, or anything safe, i still really carefully. and i know that doesn't really mean much in terms of a bike. but i'm not looking to show off on a bike. i really just want one to cruise.
