Cheap Motorcycles for Seniors

Since my recover of the legs I either need to go to a gym or start looking at some of these bikes.
The Pacific Coast as always perked my entrance. Yeah, it's an appliance but when's the last time you gave a second thought to your toaster.

You meet some of the best folks behind bars.

Imho the Pacific is too much at this point.
 It’s an 800.  
Even tho I must admit, it is interesting.

I’dunno.

A 250, a 400, for this season is the ticket.
Something with a button.
Low seat height.
Low weight.
Maybe a disc up front.

Forget about riding in the wet.
Or speed racer.
Get limbered up.
Get stronger.

Don’t get hurt.

I’ve still got that 1982 Zook 450 gs.
Compared to my cb750, and to an extent my 750 Guzzi,
heck, the Suzuki, I ride it.

The other 2, sometimes feel like they ride me.

the pacific coast is one of the most horrible looking motorcycles of all time. senator Bluto had one on CW. it peaked his interest in motorcycling which both him and his wife still enjoy. but he was quick to get rid of it. if one likes to ride with what looks like a porto potty on the back of your ride, go for it!

the 250 suzuki isnt bad. TU250? it can be cut down a little to look hep and i think there is an aftermarket company that made a really cool kit for these.

250 VStar looks ok but maybe a bit too much wannabe


 i like V7's problem with them they have been upgraded so often researching to find the best year is a hassle

 just say NO! to vulcans and verseyes


Buell sucks. but can 1/2 a buell suck half as much? idk.
i cant go thru all 16 bikes.
triumph singles? well they are made to look too much like the bonnevilles. they are ok but i think overdone.

anything that mimics a sport bike or faux chopper is fake news.
