I have been riding for 30years. Currently ride an 1985 Honda Magna which I restored. I put 20k miles on it in the last 2 years. Comptemplating buying another bike like a Yamaha FJR or Kawa Councours but personal issues may make me wait a little bit for that. Bikes that I owned include a 1978 Honda CB 125 twin (my first real bike, red line at 14k RPM! sounded like a vacuum cleaner at that rev), 1975 350 Motobecane (3 cylinders 2 strokes, piece of crap, kept it only 1 year) , 1982 Honda 500 CX (V twin, great bike but a little under powered), 1993 Honda 750VFR (V4, the best bike I ever owned to date) and my current 1985 Magna (V4, looks like a cruiser but rev and ride more like a sport bike).
My advise to you would be to be very prudent and stay alert all the time when riding. In my 30 years of riding I have seen too many accidents which could have been avoid with a little bit of common sense and awareness. Remember that what would only be a fender bender with a car would almost always results in serious injuries with a bike.
Have fun

I have had more injuries and recovery time on my bikes than on my motorcycles (all of which have been gone for 23 years now). Last motorcycle was a restored BMW R50/5 from 1970.

I'm confused... What's a bike? Co-worker of mine tells me that he rides his bike, I came outside and it's a bicycle and no motor to be seen!
