- Hi folks!
-
- I've just joined the motorcycle world (and news group).
- Two weeks ago I've bought a Yamaha XV535 Virago and, so far, I'm very
- happy with her.
- So, has a starter, I think I can make some inocent questions:
-
- 1 - Do you thing it was a good idea to start with a 535cc with 46cv bike ?
-
- Excellent idea. Larger or smaller would also have been good.
-
-
- 2 - Can you reveal any experience you may have with a similar bike ?
-
- Sorry, My Guzzi 850 is the smallest I've ever had (only, acutally).
-
-
- 3 - I'm not very familiarized with biker language. In what classe of
- motorcycle can you insert my new bike ?, Shopper ?, Costum ?, Can anyone
- make a short description of styles and respective characteristics ?
-
- Post requesting a DoD number. I think I can safely promise that
- you will receive in return a minimum of one copy of the FAQ. Post
- in praise of your bike, and you will probably learn exactly what
- others think of it.
-
-
- Thanks in advance
-
- Luis
-
- No problem. And welcome to biking. Just remember that you are
- putting on a cloak of invisibility every time you ride.
