I have ben wanting to get a bike for a while now and I am a new rider. What is a good bike to get without going custom to learn and just cruise around town if you are a little taller than average? I like the look of a Harley but dont fit on them and I know better than to look at a sport bike (I look like a bear on a unicycle). I would just like to be comfortable and have some fun, doesn't need to be fast or fancy..
 
Honda shadow get avsize engine that is why u need is good to start out

1100 Yamaha V-Star Classic. Plenty of power where needed, but not a road hog. Good Cruising bike, not constricted. Can haul a second passenger without any problem and is a great platform for customizing if wanted. Tried to post a pic of mine, but the file is to big.
 
that right there if i was buying

I had a Honda shadow 750 very good bike especially for a first bike... It's no Harley though for sure

The V-Star Classic would. The Shadow is a little shorter, and the Harley's..well you can set them up.

Thanks, I will have to look into this..
 
It all depends on what style riding you want. you dont want anything less the 750 , because once you get use to it you will wish you got bigger. I started out with a 1200 harley cause it was heavy and i didnt bounce around a lot on the road. but of course i have my 1100 ninja for the zip riding.
If you are into chill cruising then get something low to the ground and with a windshield.
 
Any of the HD Dyna series,Im tall to but with forward controls you cant go wrong..There great for long rides but are also a great in town bike....I own a Dyna super glide which i wouldnt trade for the world
 
This is old but I thought I would open it back up for shits and giggles, lol...
I have a 2003 Honda VTX 1800C only has 7000 miles on it, just me and the wife riding the back roads etc.... The damn thing is actually heavy but wouldn't feel to bad if it was balanced as good as a Harley. I road my wives uncles Super Glide and that damn thing is beautifully balanced and easier to maneuver, on mine some one came over on me , guess I was doing about 70mph so I had to throw it like you do a Cafe Racer style bike and I still don't know how I got the damn thing back up after leaning it and switching lanes, it actually felt like I was going to end up in the ditch.

SO WHO ELSE HAS ONE AND RIDES??
 
I have a quad cane does that count? 😛

Ditto on this. I have been riding an 1100 Silverado for years and never had any issues as long as you keep up with regular maintenance. Perfect bike for to everything aI need to.... run to the gym, grocery, work...two years ago I rode it everywhere.....I didn't put gas in my truck for five months. Depending on your size a used one could be the perfect ride...... been riding for 20+ years.
 
Been riding since I was 10, I’ve always been in the sport bikes, I own a Ducati v4 as of right now and it’s a sick machine!
 
Road Glide Special, love that thing. Had a Wide Glide but wasn't comfortable for the wife. Road to Sturgis and back a few years ago and never got uncomfortable, other than the 110 degree weather riding there.
