Default 2015 Street Bob First Bike

Hey everyone,
I'm brand new to this forum and riding so bear with me...So I'm going for my Motorcycle Course next week and I was wondering what everyone's thoughts were of a 15' Street Bob as a first bike? I was at the dealership yesterday and sat on one and fell in love. I'm 23 y/o 6'3 and 240 pounds. No riding experience minus a 50cc scooter a couple of times...any advice would be greatly appreciated.


John

Welcome to the H-D Forums from Idaho ! ENJOY !There is a lot of help on here. Be sure to do a lot of reading, then if you have some questions ask away. But be sure to head over to the forum for your scoot, or in the chat areas. There are a few that try to give a bad time sometimes, but just let them be & go on.
Your rider course will answer a lot of questions also, but be sure & rag the instructor with everything you have a doubt or question about.
Ride Safe !

If you are comfortable on the Street Bob then go for it.take the safety course and PRACTICE in a parking lot and deserted roads until you can completely control the bike.

Welcome from Maryland. The Street Bob is a good starter bike. Your a big guy so I suspect as you get comfortable riding you will look for a bigger bike.
