I HAVE NEVER RIDDEN A MOTORCYCLE BEFORE AND NOW I AM PURCHASING A 1986 KAWASAKI TOURING BIKE?
Hello, I am wanting to purchase a 1986 kawasaki voyager with 1200cc’s. It is in great shape. The concern I have is me not having any riding experience. I am a bright person and learn really fast, realistically, how easy is it to learn and pick up on touring bikes? And, what is one thing that I should pay attention to when learning to ride a touring motorcycle?
Thank you!
I am not concerned with the size of the engine being too big for you, as I am concerned with the size of the bike. The kawasaki voyager is a great bike, don’t get me wrong. Even if it is older. Really comfortable, powerful and good for long distance touring. But the thing is huge–the term ‘land yacht’ isn’t too far off the mark here. I do not know how you will be able to handle so much weight if you don’t have any experience. Seriously, it may be in great shape, but without any experience YOU WILL DROP IT. You will cause damage to it, and you will figure out the joys of righting a turned over bike that weighs so much. Really, everyone has said it, and I say it too: start on a smaller bike.
