My eldest Son recently completed his MSF Training and we/I am looking for a first bike for him. He likes my FJR but I'm not ready to part with it yet :glare: that along with the fact that it is not really a suitable first bike.
At any rate, The challenge is that he is a big guy at about 6'4" and 200+ lbs. His training bike at MSF looked like a tricycle with him on it. This has led us to consider the VStrom 650 ABS due to its relatively large size. I have read extensively about the VStrom on this board, ADVRider.com and others. It seems as though everyone loves this bike.
My question to the members here: Is there any reason the VStrom would not be a good first bike? All opionions would be appreciated as I want to share my love of motorcycling with my son and want his first experiences to be as positive as possible.
Thanks,
CaryB
