For some strange reason my oldest son (18 yrs old, junior in high-school) has decided he wants a motorcycle :ummm: (I have no idea where this idea came from). I told him he needs to wait until he's in college but think I'll cave before then. We are planning to have him take the MSF new rider course since the will provide a motorcycle and he'll have a chance to see if he even likes to ride but if he's like me it will just make him want one even more.
So my question is, what is a good bike for a beginner. He's about 6'3" and about 170. He's been driving me nuts looking on craigslist for cheap non-running bikes and seems to think he can get a bike running that's been sitting outside for a year or two. Most are missing part and would double or triple the asking price in repairs.
Thanks in advance for your advise.
