Hii... I'm 5'7' and weigh around 200 lbs. I'll be taking the msf course this month and plan on buying my first motorcycle. Much of what I read on the net recommends bikes in the 250 cc range for a true beginner. However, I've had a couple of experienced riders tell me these are too under powered for serious consideration. One says 700cc or greater and the other says no less than 400cc. I live in a rural area so most of my riding will be country roads and two-lane highways. Would a Suzuki TU250X be too under powered for a new rider? Will I be unsafe on two-lanes with goobers in pickups trying to blast past me? I really would like to start out on a smallish bike, which would mainly be used for commuting. Thanks!

Battery life

Hii... It depends where the bike lives: Hot and cold climates are both harder on batteries than temperate climes, and bikes that get ridden regularly are easier on batteries than ones that sit for months – though a good battery tender with a float feature negates much of that. In fact, I was bragging about the Shorai lithium-iron battery in my bike not long ago, which must be seven years old now and has never seen a charger, when my friend Jim said big deal, the original equipment sealed AGM battery in his VFR lasted 9.5 years, and his 21-year old Ducati is only on its second battery. So, sealed batteries can last a long time especially if you’re OCD about maintenance. Thanks! I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.

Hii... I'm in the market for a bike after having crashed mine. I've found a few candidates so far, but one I recently found that I really like is a 2000 Road King with 8000 miles on it and brand new tires for $8000. Does this seem like a good deal? It looks pristine in the pics, but I haven't gone to look at it yet. The price and condition of the bike make it attractive to me. What are the cons of buying a bike in this condition? Thanks! I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.

Hii... Has anyone tried motorcycle vin checker | motorbike history | vin number lookup ? I looked at their site and it seems legit but I just want to make sure before I move forward with it. It's only $25 and it could definitely save me thousands but I don't want to throw money away either. I tried carfax and it does not recognize my VIN Thanks!

Hii... Been using it for a while and every time I put the thing on it seems to fit differently. To be honest I am not sure exactly how it is supposed to go on - I looked for some videos/instructions but came up empty. Sometimes I see the NR emblem on the front and sometimes its on the side. This thing is like a fitted sheet - I cant tell which way is back-front and which way is side-side, sometimes it seems to fit perfectly and other times I can't even get all the parts covered. Does anyone have experience with these things that can offer some pointers? Also I am not real clear on how often I need to cover it up. It's stored outside under a car port in Florida, so I dont need to worry about snow or ice or anything. I try to have it on whenever I park it but there are some days where I dont get around to it and I sort of feel guilty about it. So is it primarily for long term storage or is it best to always have it on? Thanks! I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
