Hi,
I'm getting back into riding after a 10 year absence. I am leaning toward a middle sized bike for a year or two, then graduating up to something larger. Tomorrow I'm going to look at a 94 Vulcan 750. It's my 2nd to last stop in the middle weight cruisers (I've looked at Hondas and Yamis already), next and last stop will be an 800 Intruder.
I'm 6'3" and 210 pounds. Do you think I'll be comfortable riding the VN750 as a commuter? Long cruises on weekends or after work? How are the 750s two up? (my wife is 5'2" & 120 pounds, if that matters) Is there a particular model quirk that the 750s have that deserves a special look?
If the 750 doesn't seem right for me after I am up close and personal, I guess I have a couple choices. Start looking at larger cruisers or look at a different style machine. Some of the larger standards/sport tourers have appeal. Opinions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for helpin out the new guy.
