Name is john, been riding since 1958. Because of a bad knee I went to a majesty scooter....got it fixed a few years ago and am looking to go back to a bike. The chinese dual purpose 200's and 250's look real good to me as I want some thing tall. Most street bikes are a bit short. I had been riding a suz bandit 1200 and loved it. Getting a bit on the old side for a crotch rocket! Am going slower and shorter distances too.
