Vintage Japanese

Vintage bike as first bike? Small Japanese bikes for a first bike?
I’m new to riding and wanted to get a restored old vintage motorcycle for bike to ride around the neighborhood on. XL100 or an RM125. I just love these little bikes.
However… What would be the drawbacks (besides the obvious of not having a bigger bike etc.)? Like how different would they ride? Is there any concerns about safety? If it’s running great should I have any problems?
I’m riding a ’78 SR500 and love it. It has been very reliable, excepting the one time I abused it , and parts haven’t been a problem to date. The older bikes tend to be very reasonably priced. I have a few freinds who have gotten some nice bikes for free. Ride what you like.

The Capitol Albums Vol. 1 $47.99 When the Beatles catalog was first issued on CD in the ’80s, an attempt was made to standardize the releases (which often varied wildly in content internationally) by using their original British format.

The film is tru… |
