@petrachi94 I am 19 years old and just bought my very first bike about half a year ago, it's a Triumph Bonneville 2011. All I can say is: If you want one, just do it. At first I was considering a Suzuki Bandit but hell, the Bonneville is such an easy bike for starters. And unless you're a good mechanic, I would recommend a newer one, with EFI, won't cause you any trouble ;)
@petrachi94 Get a newer one. I always loved the Bonnies, but back in the 70s their dependability wasn’t up to what the Japanese bikes had. Unlike the 70’s versions which leaked oil the new ones are bulletproof.
