I'd really recommend the smaller bike to start. I felt much more comfortable on the smaller bike until I got used to it. One day, when I was first learning, I started off in the drive way, and popped the clutch, gave it way too much throttle and shot across the street into a vacant lot and hit a dirt pile. My front wheel was on the pile and my feet were dangling, unable to reach the ground so I fell right over. It scared me half to death. I almost hit a brick mail box, but after it was over, my husband almost died laughting. He said I looked so hilarious with my feet dangling and the bike slowly falling over. Thankfully I was not hurt, only my pride. I would hate to think what would have happened on a larger bike. Be careful, but enjoy!!!

Marilyn ~ Your bike is gorgeous. I even had to show my hubby, LOL. He says "Niiicccee Bike, Nice bike!" Of course he commented saying "They even have a shop to store their bikes in". LMAO - My hubby is working on a shop/barn future plans. Oh, hubby also read your "crash/hurt pride" story and says "Damn! Someone got carried away". LOL!! He's sooo goofy.

Much prettier with the paint job! Good job!

Thank you, Sheryl. The cool garage is not ours. It's in a home my hubby built for a Parade of Homes Tour. The owner of the home is a Harley dude & his bike is in the background. They put mine in there with it for the show. Our bikes are in our garage with hubby's restored 1970 Mustang Mach I. All our cars are parked outside. We are thinking of selling our home so we can build where we have more room and can put a nice shop out back for the bikes and hubby's projects and actually park our daily use vehicles in the garage. We've been in this home almost 4 years now, so it's time to move on. It's the curse of being married to a home builder. He keeps coming up with new ideas, and wants to build them for us. I keep planting trees and leaving them for someone else to enjoy.
