Hi - I'm new here and just wanted to start a thread so I picked a rather frivolous topic. I'm an experienced rider having owned several bikes with five in my garage now the largest of which is a Suzuki Bandit 1250S. Aside from the CBR the rest are vintage bikes.
I've owned other 250s and love small bikes, I've had far more fun on 250 -400 bikes than on any larger bike I've owned. I'm 6'2" and 200 pounds and fit on the Honda fine......however, everyone I know tells me I look silly on the bike and it's happened so often on the Honda and on other small bikes I've owned I have a complex, I think I have small person envy. Can anyone here bolster my ego and tell me I don't look silly riding my Honda or any other small mike. I was riding my 75 Yamaha XS 650 the other day and a car pulled up beside me and told me to get a bike my own size and that's a lot larger bike than our Hondas. Just sayin............
Edit: I should add that I'm 71 and my friends all ride HDs so what does that tell you??
Happy New Year.
