I have always wanted a motorcycle but I don't want it as a daily driver, more of a fun day cruiser.
My price range is anything less than 3k and the main thing I want is a bike that's fun to work on with lots of aftermarket and affordable oem parts
The front runner is the Grom for all the reasons above, my only concern is the size will be just a little too small for my liking, I'm a moderately tall guy @6'2" and I feel like the grom might feel like riding a mini bike and that would definitely remove some enjoyment for me.
Maybe I just need to go test ride one and find out
My second choice is a used motorcycle that will be definitely bigger and probably faster and I don't mind putting some work into a bike to get it running but my motorcycle engine experience is pretty sad, if I choose this route I would like something that will be easy to work on even if the bike is older.
I really want a bike that will help me learn how to work on motorcycles and is still fun to ride.
I don't even necessarily need something reliable, just something that I will have to work on but has cheap and easily available parts.
For reference I'm a novice rider, I have some experience on the road but in a 150cc scooter
My question is just this
What motorcycles have you ridden, and what motorcycle was the most fun to work on.
