ok so here's whats going on. my great uncle who is in his 70's has decided to start riding bikes again, he has ridden alot over the years and hes got the bug to start again. And even though he's in his 70's hes very active and in great shape and still has quick reflexis, I'm not worried about his abillity to ride I just would like to help him find the bike that is right for him, he says he would like the bike to ride around town (Modesto, Ca) and occasionaly ride down to visit family in Visalia and Porterville. probably around 145 to 185 miles each way? and I'm sure he will be riding over to the coast with me and my father, OK so here's what im looking for , we have suggessted bikes such as the SuzukiSV650 or the Yamaha FZ6 , since their cheaper and lighter , but he's in love with the Honda st1300 , and so am I , just wondering if is good to go out and spend 13.299OTD to see if you like riding still. he is addimant he wants shaft drive, and he doesnt want a cruiser . are there any other bikes out there that might fit our description of what he's looking for? I even suggested a used st100? he likes the FJR1300 but we can actually get a ST1300 for 200 dollars less out of LAcycle sports, and they have them bith on the floor. He loves the look of sport bikes????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
thanks. oh and yes he's taking the msf course before he gets on the road again,
