(See the end of the movie "Magnum Force.") There's a theory that too many first time riders are jumping right on the biggest V-twin motorcycles they can find - Harley has a lot of imitators these days - and that is why there's a spike in motorcycle accidents. That Honda CB500 four cylinder, now a vintage machine that's appreciating, albeit slowly, is as fine a machine as you'd find and makes an excellent first time piece of transportation. Those who are willing to join a club and search a bit for spare parts, might also consider a Triumph 650 or 750 cc motorcycle (look for one that has been well maintained - same deal as a vintage car). A man whose bio I have been working on for five years, off and on, Leslie Eaton "Red" Parkhurst, the first factory racer for Harley-Davidson (circa 1914-'21) would likely have agreed. (Red is no direct relation, but I am happy to share his surname.)

While on the subject, two more types of bike are dual purpose bike and dirt bike. Dual purpose bikes are street legal and can adapt to the backroad. Dirt bikes are usual street illegal but infamous for stun devil. Both of these bike or rather tall also. Cool article, gj!
