[QUOTE="Dr. Rich, post: 840474, member: 4598"] My first question is what type of riding does he want to do... If it is street, then he needs to determine if he wants something that carves the road or cruises on the road? Does he want something that will keep up with your FJR or something that he can ride with a group? Does he want to use it off road sometime? You can find dual sport bikes that are a compromise that are adequate for the street and dirt. I don't think he will have trouble finding something in his price range but he needs to clearly define the type of riding that he wants to do... Many on this forum have multiple bikes so they don't have to compromise, but until your friend gets way more experience, he will probably have to find a bike that is good for just one thing. My wife rides a Honda Shadow 750 and it does all the things she wants it to. Riding that bike for me would drive me crazy... Rich [/QUOTE]
