I've rode/raced bikes (the human powered ones) for many years and recently took a class and got my motorcycle license (I'm 50+). I'm learning on vstar 650 cruiser type bike. My original idea was to work my way up to a large cruiser (big loud and safe), but I'm finding that I want some of the same control I had on a bike ( I ride a carbon race bicycle). Also, I find the cruiser weight distribution / foot position to be completely weird for me. Cycles are more about 70/30 (seat/legs vs hands). Cranks sit below behind shoulders. A friend of mine told me to "look at a BMW . They make the best and safest bikes on the world" ..went to a dealer and liked the r1200r classic.
Considering that I'm going to buy one bike and likely keep it forever are there any thoughts on what to look at next..?
