This thread does not seem to have much action lately - I am looking for my first motorcycle I have taken the safety course and believe I like the "standard" or "Crusier" position when riding.. I dont want to spend over 10k on my first bike (would prefer much less!).. some I seem to keep getting drawn to are these and M50's.. I can get a M50 for a lot less and find them used, but I keep looking back at this one... For you guys with one how do you like it? I would like something with a low center of gravity, I have driven a harley touring bike and it was SO top heavy it was hard for me to control.Any information would be great - I have found lots of favorable reviews, but have not spoken with someone that actually owns one
