Back in 1964 with much contemplation I bought a new Honda 305 Superhawk. Great first bike. After a year a new Suzuki X6 Hustler. Today an SV650.

Boy,I screwed that up....what i meant to say was "2 statements and they are both wrong....good on ya"

Gabe, Nice one, and an important, needed article for those just starting out. Biggest mistake I have seen for nubies is not taking the course, and getting too much bike.

Why didn't you publish this article a week ago?

A 305 Superhawk was considered to be a lot of motorcycle for a starter bike back then. I eventually got a 305 Scrambler, but prior to that I had several smaller bikes, starting with a Honda 55 step thru trail bike! VWW

Yeah Kellen, like you can read at more that a grammer school level, or would have taken heed of Gabe's sage advice anyway.

No they're not! They're in my garage!
