« on: August 23, 2007, 01:32:52 AM »
hi guys, i new to motorbikes and still learning. i was wondering if you can help me out. heres what i would like.

1] Japanese
2] a standard bike
3] reliable and in good shape
4] available in the USA
5] between 1978 to 1988
6] between 30 to 70 bhp
7] between $1000 to $2500 (500 to 1200 pounds)
8] a good first bike

if i wanted a new bike it would be a triumph bonneville or a truxton 900. i also thought about the enfield bullet but have heard that it is not good for a beginner.

Thanks for the help.

Japanese Bikes / hi, new member

hi everyone, i just gained interest in motorcycles. i am more of a car guy but even then i loved the classic and older cars. a few days ago i was at the library and came across the book Idiot's guide to motorcycles. it had some pics of classic triumphs and they looked beautiful. i hope to buy a used bike from the 80s some day and do a restoration and maybe ride in the mountains or on a track. im not too fond of daily riding as i have seen some bad accidents. i am interested because of the styling.
