Buddy of mine has been talking about getting a vintage bike and I’ve been helping him look. But he’s not really a restoration type of guy. So he needs one in excellent shape to start with.
I suggested he at least look at new bikes since he really seems to like BMWs. He’s also short and I wanted him to at least sit on a bike of different sizes. Personally, I think he’d be happier on a smaller bike.
There is a European-centric place in the city. BMW, Triumph, Royal Enfield, Ducati.
A couple of the BMW NineT’s weren’t bad. But they are all so huge. Mostly 1000cc+.
I have to admit though… I am rather fond of the Ducati Scrambler. It was a miniature bike however. Just 800cc. Practically a kids bike. ;-)
Is still rather sink that $12k in a vintage restoration. But if I was in the market for a new bike? Maybe.
