After reading lots posts on here, I decided that probably ant the best plan. I should probably start on a smaller bike and stick to the dirt around here until I get my experience. I haven't had a bike in 30 years. As a kid I rode all the time, I had trail bikes starting at about 9, and got an XR75 that I rode everywhere as a teen. My dad rode too. I've got some funny stories about that XR, like I used to do my paper route on it. When I was about 14 I started taking it on trips out of town. I would load up and head out on a mix of back roads and highway and visit paces. Went about 60 miles 1 time, and ended up with a breakdown. My parents were not happy. So yeah, that's where I'm at now. Thanks guys for all the help and knowledge on here! |

just my opinion but from reading on here..... if what you are wanting is a reliable bike to put some local miles on and relearn your riding style& skills then the Hawk is probably going to be damned hard to beat on $$$ alone. If you're willing to turn wrenches and open to asking questions for help on here then it just might foot the bill for you.
