Crumpets belong on the pillion pad... but *Real* men find a woman who already rides her own Cruiser!!

 

I agree, however surely to be both Crumpet on the pillion pad & ride your own cruiser would be the dream woman!

One thing to check on the 535 is the exhaust system if  it is the original system there is a large collector box right underneath the bike these tend to rot .expensive to replace!

Oh ok, I will ensure I check this out. Thanks dav a

From one woman to another - welcome!   They're a good bunch on here, so stick around!

Good luck with your bike purchase (whatever capacity it ends up being) and do let us know.   Plenty of guys on here who know their crumpets when it comes to cruisers so don't be afraid to ask away!

Ah ha Thanks bippo for the message, love the "know their crumpets when it comes to cruisers" line 

Not afraid to ask the guys and they have provided great advice already. I'm going to buy a Yamaha 535 virago to start with and see how I go.

Now this did make me chuckle and brought back memories!

Still better off with the 535. Lot of em so finding a good one is not too bad. The 125 and the 250 really are lacking any worthwhile perfomance. 

If your planning on direct access its perfect too. Stable bike. Broadly similar size and weight wise to the smaller bikes. The v twin wont bite either.

535 no question for me unless your trapped in the learner laws.

Great thanks Cynic sound advice, I will look into this

Hi Jane ,I also live in Bedford, 125 Virago is a rare bike so is the 250 ,maybe look for a 535 a lot more common. Dave

Thanks Dave for the advice, but wanted to start small to gain bike road sense and confidence before I went to something more powerful 

Are you a member if any bike clubs in Bedford? E.g Oakley ?
