The LED headlight in person is larger than it appears on print.

What's really cool though is that it has external rear shock dampening. That dial looking thing by the back exhaust pipe is the adjuster

 

I was looking into the Bolt in the past and all the reviews said it was pretty decent but it left a lot to be desired. Some other items too but power seemed to be geared much more to a beginner level. There's more reviews online that go in depth.

friend of mine had one for a year. but he's also a sportbike guy so maybe that's why he went back

 

Not a Harley guy, at all. The Fat Bob looks badass.

 

I just ordered some parts for the new bike. Doesnt even have 50 miles on it yet!!

 

Hello all, trying to get another opinion on something. Looking to get a bike and would really like a ducati scrambler. Thoughts? Its been awhile since I've ridden and i'd say I am for sure a beginner.

 

Ive never ridden one. I would guess they are good for a beginners bike. But expensive for maintenance.

Are you looking for a ~600 cc bike? or something like a Honda Grom?

self plug. I know Im on the other side of the country.

I'm from the Shenandoah valley so this isn't that far off of my path. As for where I live now, probably wouldn't work. But I rode some in my teens with friends who had bikes and I'd say other than that my knowledge is limited. However, I don't want to buy something and then be limited when the learning curve kicks in.

 

FZ07, SV650, or Ninja 650 would be a good option, Kawi is also coming out with a Ninja 400 depending on your power needs

Seconding canis. I'm actually regretting buying a literbike so soon, smaller isn't worse. Also tossing the Ninja 500r in the mix

 

I never suggest a liter bike as a first bike. Generally they are too much for street use anyways.

What about a Triumph Street Triple 675?

 

This bike is growing in me.

 

Having a baby?

The XSR900 looks nice. Has the same engine as the FZ09

 

Supposedly not as roudy though

 

Yea. Isn't it part of their throwback line of bikes?

 

Growing in me sounded kewler.

Not sure if I need all that power here. Max speed limit is 35mph, and I usually don't go over 55.

 

The bike you have now seems like it fits for where you are

 

I reckon
