Stallion, I think I would disagree...of course I haven't ridden it, I do believe that a beginner could easily manage this motorcycle. It's not incredibly overpowered, it's well balanced and it's lower to the ground than some of the others which makes it an ideal starter bike. I think that its...

it's all about balancing your budget with the features and functions you want. I don't have the hands on experience with this bike to be able to compare it to others in its same category, but I believe that you should make sure that you are paying for the performance you want and ignore the...

I think it all depends on whether or not you like the bike enough that you would recommend it to the level of giving it to someone else. I don't have any hands on experience with this motorcycle since its not currently available in the US, but if I rode one and liked it enough to buy it...I can...

Yeah, Stallion has a point. The development of monkey butt has a lot of variables from your weight, to the style and padding of the seat to how long you ride and how regularly as well as how you ride. I think that the longer you ride on a stiffer seat the greater your chances of developing...

I usually ride at around 40-45mph, on back road where this is the speed limit...or a little over. I don't like riding very fast, unless it's in spurts here and there for the most part, choosing instead to cruise so that I can take in the sights. I do find it tougher to cruise at slower speeds...

I am a huge fan of black. I think that a bike like this should be primarily black with some sort of accent color like red, yellow, or blue, depending on your preference. But the primary color should be black.

While this bike isn't necessarily made for more experienced riders, there is definitely a market for them among the more experienced crowd. I am actually looking for a bike just like this as an around town bike. It's light, nimble and can easily be ridden in more congested areas. So while it...

I am a huge fan of buying bikes used. I don't like to pay full retail for new bikes and watch the value of the bike decrease the second I sign on the bottom line. Plus, getting a used bike means all the bugs have been worked out of it. Of course, I have my husband there to fix things when...

Beemer Princess, that is a nice bike. I prefer black or silver on my bikes. I did see a Harley that was painted in pearl white and I thought I had sen the best looking motorcycle I'd ever seen. If I'd had $10K that day, I'd had me a new Fat Boy in my garage. She was pretty. But, in general...

I ride my boke mostly on summer weekends. As much as I love my motorcycle, I ride it as a hobby rather than as a primary vehicle. I still drive my car to work and to the grocery store. It's just more practical. But on the weekends, it's on. We ride all over the place, through the mountains...

I think that it boils down to performance. Most older riders, and I did say most, are more experienced riders and have ridden larger, more powerful motorcycles for many years. When riding a bike such as this, while it is a solid motorcycle, it pales in comparison to some of the larger cruisers...

You know, I have often wondered this myself. Both my Suzuki and my Harley do it. I wonder if it's some sort of calibration or "reset" function if you will, or if, like you said, it has something to do with the sensor's resistance. Not amateurish...just inquisitive. Maybe someone can chime in...

It seems as though the consensus is pretty unanimous, it's a great bike cruising through the roads in the mountains, but not if you plan on taking it off road, then you should be fine. I don't think that anyone expects this bike to withstand being dropped without damage, but at the end of the...

LOL...Glad you liked my remark, Bala. I don't like it in white at all...but I'm sure that there is someone out there somewhere that thinks this color scheme is to die for. There's no accounting for taste, I guess. LOL. Anyway, glad I could bring some levity to your evening.

Ok, so I am probably not qualified to answer this question since I haven't made up my mind yet, but the things I am looking at for this particular model which might convince me to buy it are: Looks performance price I own a Suzuki Boulevard, which is a larger, heavier cruising bike. Don't get...

Right now, I am a fanatic. I have bikes, but not a CTX700. I have become very intrigued with this bike thanks to this forum and am taking a second look. I actually wasn't even in the market for a new bike, but this one is just the right size to zip around the neighborhood with...I was looking...

Ok, so you don't actually adjust the how much PSI you put into the tire, but you might have to add air in the winter to bring the PSI up to the recommended pressure or let some out in the summer since air expands in the heat and contracts in the cold. You keep your tire pressure at recommended...

Wow...this is cool info, but does this address the appropriate tire pressures in every situation? Meaning, is it possible that the tire pressures for certain tire manufacturers can vary, maybe significantly from what you have posted here, not only affecting the ride quality, but how the bike...

I usually end up with a wider tire on the rear than what comes stock. I like the look of a wider tire and have learned how to compensate my riding style to address the ride difference. I've never had an issue with ride quality, usually only experiencing a minor issue with leaning into curves...

I wear my helmet every time I get on the back of my motorcycle. I usually wear either my leather or my mesh riding jacket. But I don't normally wear boots, gloves, or protective pants when I ride, though I often wonder if I should. I have often pondered the need for this type of protective...
