I'm about to raise the dead...
So, I'm looking into getting a motorcycle but I'm curious as to what size to get. I've never ridden so I don't want to blow a lot of cash on something I might screw up learning on. First, at 6'1" and 280lbs what would the minimum size be that I should consider as far as CCs go. Also, I've thought of going street/trail due to the area I live in. Would a DR 200 be enough? Or should I look at something more of a cruiser in the 600+ range? The interstate isn't much of an issue because I can get just about anywhere I'd want to go on one w/o jumping on the freeway until I'm confortable.
I have and will continue to have at least for now a 1.5 mile drive to work so I'm looking at something to commute on and just to have fun with. I'm not a crotchrocket guy so they are out of the question.
