duke 690 for a young rdiers first bike
so i am 16 am am going to invest in my first bike," i been paying like 6 grand for a mountain bike every year not including parts", so i am enetering the world of the motorcycle. so pretty much my dad is a heart and sole H-D guy, he told me if i get a night rod he will pay half, but if i get a Duke 690 i have to pay by myself. now i like the cost of the bike and with fuel mapping i can start out with a lower power setting, but my dad wants to do a 500 mile trip some day and i wonder how it would be on a ride like that. the seat seams like crap but i can get the KTM gel seat, but the up right ridding position seems nice as well. i do alot of downhill mountain biking " i have done 56 mile and hour 90 degree turn on a bicycle", so i probly want a bike that can carve turn and the night rod looks like its not cut out for the canyons, so i am a little lost. any sujjetions would help
ps
dont worry i will be taking a basic ridding class and a motorcycle defensive driving class, and the money will be earned by me, and i have ridden dirt bikes alot.
peace and hub grease
