Ok, for one I'm a light weight, 5 foot 8 inches tall 140 pounds.
I have $7,000 and although id love an old panhead for $10,000++ I dont
know enough to not get scammed.
Im really looking at the 2003 Harley-Davidson VRSC ($7,000 starting)
Am I to small for this?
My plan is driving and perhaps visiting national parks, grand canyon 4
times a year and week end swap..
I do not like the sporter, although its a great machine it just does
not look "ME"
Or please recommend something in the $7,000 range for a light
weight!!!!
Thanks!
Jay,

> Jay,
I'm 5'7" , and I weigh about 135 . I ride an 800 pound bagger . Now then ,
what were you sayin' about lightweights ?
Run like a scared little girl from the Vrod , IMO they're overhyped . For
7k , you should easily be able to get into a TC Dyna , or maybe you'd prefer
an Evo . Either way , you've got enough cash to get a nice bike .
Depending on your attitude , you *might* find someone knowlegdeable to go
with you to look at a prospective purchase .
If you know someone that rides , they might help you , or know someone
that you can trust . Just remember , the guy tryin' to sell you a bike ain't
got *your* best interests in mind ...
