New guy with no bike (need advice)

  • Tommy Dahl

    Yo! So I just finished SOA and concluded to myself a biker now...jk  
            my wife sent me a photo of a bike for sale… that is out of the blue and not expected since she said I could never have a motorcycle. Either she’s trying to kill me or she actually wants me to have fun. So confused.
         Regardless I almost had enough for the damn bike and I was getting extremely excited (BTW I’ve never ridden a motorcycle and always thought it was sick AF) sorry I’m trying to keep this short. The bike was sold, and not to me. 
          What is the best starter bike for a completely novice/beginner rider? 
    Or atleast some tips on what to look for? 
          I enjoy your videos I’ve been watching as much as I can, nerding out on a potentially new hobby 

    greetings from WA state

    So I think Honda shadow was a pretty convincing argument. 
    I did happen to find a 2002,  750 for about $3k with 26,000 ml tires in good condition. I can't really post a photo of the bike due to me using a phone for internet. 
    any thoughts ?

    @Tommy Dahl  it didnt say anything about about battery or fluids or chain needing replacement. They are closed today or I could get more info.

    @Tommy Dahl from the owner "2nd owner, never laid down
    I upgraded to a newer bike recently and don't have room for the 2 long term.
    There was some spark plug fouling last year, so I replaced them and haven't had any issues
    Tires are a year old."
