I started on the street with a Honda V65 Magna, 1100 V-4
yeah, I shoulda started smaller but I thought I knew how to ride.
In my defense, I started on a Honda Trail 50 when I was 5th or 6th grade, YZ 85, and 125 into my early teens, and was smart enough to not get a street bike while in my 20's. I knew better.
I was 32 when I bought the V65 and yeah, I was mature, but I still had a few close calls on it the first couple months. It was my favorite bike in the 80's when they came out and I found a sweet used one in 98 so I jumped at it. It was a handful at times and after 10 yrs on the street i would never recommend that anyone make a leap like that after not riding anything for so many years. i was smart enough to realize early on i needed to be real careful on that bike and luck played a small part too.
I ride a VTX 1800 now and it's for sale so I can get an FZ1 next
