Is the term "Budget bike" over used? What size should your first bike be? And the return of Dr. Merritt Waters? Plus we talk about some amazing products by Agostini,
Caught back up on the podcasts and wanted to mention that I have mixed feelings on the whole first bike thing. My first bike was a 1975 CB200T that I restored. I started riding 5 months ago, and now split my time between the CB200T and an '03 Triumph T100. One friend of mine started on an XB12R in highschool and has been just fine. Another friend, started when he was older, bought a CBR1000R and has also been just fine. In all cases, the thing in common was that the bikes were light in weight, and a considerable amount of throttle control was exercised.
I really enjoy the podcast and hope to take a ride up to Cleveland some time to see the shop(s).
