It won’t be very long now until the snow and ice melts off and some green growth returns to the environment that surrounds my eastern Iowa home. When this happens it will alert me to the fact that motorcycle season has returned to Iowa, and this year I get to purchase my first motorcycle. I can’t wait to ride this bike and be able to have some reasonable speed and acceleration power, and leave my beloved Chevy truck parked in the garage (which has a zero to sixty of like 20 seconds). I’ll also be the only student at my school that will have a motorcycle and there is a spot near the building to park them, which will seem a blessing from marking at a minimum half a mile away from the school.
Beyond the obvious other reasons I’ve stated I will become a part of the two- wheel revolution that is starting to spring up in Cedar Rapids, Iowa it seems ever since the oil prices sky rocketed in the last summer or two. However, I’ll be the minority of this group with a cruiser bike and not the speed bikes that so many Cedar Rapidians have.
In the next month or two when I finally get this bike I think I’ll have no chance of ever getting off of it. I’ve tasted the freedom and power of a cruiser underneath me and it’s such a great feeling. Right now I’m making my decisions on which brand that I want to purchase from. Harleys Davidson’s although the most classical American bike is also the most expensive and I’m not really looking for the Harley hog. Honda’s are on the opposite spectrum and they aren’t not renown for quality motorcycles. Largely, that leaves me with either a Suzuki or a Yamaha motorcycle to choose from. Both of these brands have several motorcycle options to choose from in the price range that I’ll be in. I’m looking specicifically for a six- fifty or a seven- fifty motor, any color really, saddle bags, and a sissy bar, most of the motorcycle options of these two brands have these requirements. I’m just going to need to continue doing some research and asking around to see what would be the best bike for me (if you have any advice please leave me a comment, and I’ll really appreciate the help).
