A Goldwing is a large, heavy, powerful, motorcycle for your son to learn on. Just my opinion.

I agree completely, but he's turning 18 in a month and a half, so there's not much I can do about it. He clearly knows more than me

. At least I got him to agree to the safety course.

LOL yes as my mother used to say to me when I was that age; "honey 18 year olds are the smartest people their are, the bad thing is it's all down hill from there."

Hi Powers and thanks. I have had a few bikes over the years. Always enjoyed. At this stage probably going to be the TW200 when I can find the right one at the right price. something I can poke around a bit on and maybe take the 5 mile trip to town for something.
Outside of that the pups want to go so it is a truck

Those TW's are cool little bikes. They are a common teaching bike in the various programs so I've been on several of them. When I have a choice for a demo I'll pick them often.
If I wanted a bike for around a farm or ranch I'd pick one up.
