Hi guys,
Obviously considering my post count you can tell that Im new here so go easy on me..
So for a little while now I've been itching to get a bike and since the weather is starting to warm up, my itch has gotten worse. I've always been fond of Triumph's based on looks so thats where I started my search. I eventually came across a 1978 Triumph Bonneville 750 and I have a few questions about the bike. Keep in mind that I have never owned a bike before except for dirtbikes.
- As an inexperienced rider, is this bike too much "go" for me? Should I be looking at a bike with less cc?
- Because this bike is over 30 years old, is it going to continually break down on me? If so, is it going to be impossible to find parts?
- Is this bike more of a "collector" and not meant to be ridden every day?
- Is this bike too heavy for me (440lbs)? Im only 19 years old and 6'3 170lbs.
- Is this a good price range for the bike? Here is the add: http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/nvn/mcy/3825756893.html
Thank you so much for any information provided!
