Needs to handle mountain twistys well. More comfortable on a cruiser style, but fine with dual-sport style as well. Top of the budget is $13K. Fairly novice rider, 3 years experience. It's more about enjoying the ride than bells and whistles. No real preference on brand.</p></li></ul><h3>the garage</h3><ul> <li>Rich is rebuilding forks on the R6, parts ordered and MFM will do the work For $80 each.
