My first bike, bought it 5 years ago. Had only ridden little 50cc scooters before that.

I like bikes that can do street and dirt so my style is dual sport and ADV. I can't be trusted with sport bikes because my wrist has a mind of its own and I'll probably end up dead. Cruisers are comfortable and great on the highway but they don't excite me in the twisties and they typically don't do dirt very well.

Ive ridden a few cruisers (VTX 1300 and 1800, Street Glide, and a Sportster) and they were great bikes (Well not the Sportster) but they didn't excite me in the way that other bikes do.

Two wheels is two wheels so as long as you enjoy it I'm happy for you!

You ever look at the SCR950? Its essentially the bolt, but with a scrambler style.

SCR950 motorcycle

Uses the same frame and engine, but different shocks and seat.
