New member here and looking to step into my first motorcycle since completing my safety class. Taking my time and been doing my research for size, fit and handling. I am 5'8" and looking for a low centered, flat footed stance. trying to keep within 750-1200cc or under 100bhp. Must be liquid cooled. Probably will never do long interstate treks on it over 4hrs. I foresee mostly urban hopping.
I am down to 4 choices:
Honda Phantom - very affordable used, like the shaft drive concept, but worry I might out grow out of it quickly
Indian Scout - Great horsepower, rides 2, not sure I am totally sold on the looks
Bobber - Love everything about this bike, bit expensive, but cant have wife as passenger (hidden design bonus?)
Street Cup - Love the cafe throw back look, manageable price, rides 2 - I really like this one also
Now I understand this is a Triumph Bobber forum, but would like to hear thoughts from those with experience on the other models.
Thanks all!
