Start with one 1/10th that displacement.
Comparable to my 99 800 Vulcan, I found Honda's (when I was shopping around) to be a bit on the top heavy side. The seat height is very low and the bike is fairly short on the wheelbase. If you're a tall person, you'll be cramped.
The price is good. GO for it
Rather big bike as a starter.
If you've never ridden before you may not understand but by 'big' I mean heavy and hand pushing a heavy bike can cause some mishaps and THEY AREN'T EASY to lift back UP.
hint- beginners NEVER do a slo/no drop more than three times.
Yes
An 1100cc bike is idiotic as a starter bike. You'd be dead inside a week.
Too large and heavy. Hard to learn good control at low speed, where large and heavy are a detriment.
Even heavier than the sportster you already asked about. Also a pain in but to work on if needed. I would look for a 450 Honda Rebel or a 600 CC honda VLX. Its a cool little V twin cruiser and its a softail so looks like a rigid frame.
- Motorcycle starter over heated starter and only the solenoid clicked so i rebuilt the starter n tested it with a battery n it worked fine? Put it back in bike and again only the solenoid clicks… Is there a fuse for the starter or a relay i may have blown? 1988 honda hurricaine 1000F i'm ready to hang it up but the bike runs so good when it runs. i ran out of gas n kept trying to start it till battery was dead and that is how it got this way. Please and thank-you starter works fine when hooked up to a battery off the bike. what gives?
- Is a honda shadow 745 cc a good starter bike? I've rode dirt bikes and a Harley 850 briefly (never crashed) and I'm wanting to get a daily ride. Think that's too much power?
- If i make a wire harness will it work with out pulse generator and icu on 85 1100 honda shadow? If i just make direct line from stator to rectifier to starter selonoid and coils will it be fine with out the pulse generator and the 2 icm/icu? I want to eliminate a bunchof stuff on it and i was wondering if that could go as well. It was a mess when i bought it i will figure it out if it must stay but i just need to know if it can go because it will be less of a headache if i can keep it going with out it.
- Honda V65 Sabre As First Bike? I'm 16, 5'6 and 140lbs. And want to get a Honda V65 Sabre 1100 as my first bike. Is this a smart idea? A lot of people say that's a nasty bike (meaning: FAST)
