I registered to take a motorcycle training and safety course, down in Jacksonville in late August. I would have taken one sooner, but that weekend fell on my anniversary so, couldn't do that, I pushed it back to the next weekend. Anyhow, I'm pretty stoked to do this and have been looking at a variety of bikes, trying to find one to settle on after I get my license.
I've never been impressed with or had the want to ride a crotch rocket, like fast cars, they've never been my thing. I don't plan on making trips more than an hour or two, so I don't need a big, pimped out cruiser either. I've always liked the style of older cruisers and street bikes. Yamaha, Honda, and Harley all have some great lower end, beginner and moderate bikes. However, even after looking at all of the ones in line for those manufacturers, I found one that actually hits everything I want in MY personal style for a motorcycle.
This is the Royal Enfield Classic 350. It is a modern, redesigned motorcycle, based on the classic British bike used during WWII. I absolutely love it. I've read several reviews which have been consistently favorable, and watched a few videos on YT. Below is a good review of the bike, and they come in a wide range of colors and looks. The one I want won't have the windshield or the rear seat, it'll be like the one in the image above.
. Regardless, if we're ever near each other with access to a couple of motorcycles I'd love to do a ride. That gun metal grey bike looks fantastic in the photos. Have fun and ride safe!
