Advice on first bike ???

Hello,

Having juts passed the CBT, looking on taking the DAS after Xmas. Have always fancied a cruiser, but after going around loooking at various makes and models, not having much luck. Porblem is that i'm 6'5", so getting problems with the knees etc, just wondering if anyone out there has similar and what do you ride etc etc ???

Any info would be very much appreciated.

Cheers

get on google and read as many test rides as you can,and test ride before you buy,it might look nice in the showroom,but chrome dont get you home.

Thats true Marsey, the problem you will have is that most cruisers do have a low seat height as opposed to something like a bandit or big trailie.

Theres loads of reports on my other site Sloop.....

http://www.bikercafe.co.uk

Have a mooch round there and Google like Marsey says.

The Bandit's a cracking bike and very underrated by the kneedown peeps in my opinion - fantastic gearbox too.
