Restricted bikes advice

Hello,

I've just passed my standard bike test and would like some advice on options for what to purchase. I am after a cruiser type of bike but am not sure whether to go for a standard bike or a restricted bigger bike. I'd appreciate some suggestions on which bikes to look at and test ride.
Also, any ideas on how/if restricting a bike affects the insurance?
Ta.
Tom.

Re: Restricted bikes advice

Hello,
Ended up buying a 2005 Triumph Bonneville and got it restricted. Very nice bike to ride, not sure how much the restriction affects its performance but seems quick enough for me, especially when you are used to an SR 125.

Re: Restricted bikes advice

The latest Bonnevilles are a great buy, handle pretty good too - well within their performance anyhow. Nice choice Tom



I read that smoking weed destroys your brain cells - so I gave up reading
