250 cruisers are good. If you want a sportbike like the ninja 250r, make sure you sit on it and can plant a foot down as they are taller. You’re not limited to just 250cc, but a 250 will be adequate to carry you with ease, they are not as weak as some people complain they are.

You talk of a mid size cruiser yet you look at V Rod and V max these bikes are beasts, my pick is a BMW R65 short stroke this mid range bike can out perform even its big brother the R100 in a strait line drag the R65 is only 1mph slower but out handles most other machines in its class lik Guzzis and Harleys in fact i have beaten a 1340 harley in a sreat drag over 20 miles of winding and straight roads and a Honda Valkerie 1600 so size doesnt nessesary take the prize

Try using contact cleaner on the connectors, fuses, and switches, that might do it. If not, check your wiring for a short to earth.

Hopefully you aren’t judging the generator’s status purely by the battery’s charging condition. First you should charge the battery using a charger made for motorcycle batteries. If it really won’t take a charge, replace the battery and go to testing the generator. The best way to determine the condition of the generator is to start the bike, disconnect the battery, and monitor the voltage output as you turn lights on and off. This will vary the load so you can see if the regulator is reacting by maintaining a constant voltage. Swapping parts blindly because of an outward symptom is a costly venture. Dig deeper and see what’s really wrong.

This site is in German, but is easy to translate with Google.Is this the game you were meaning?For a better picture type “extreme motorbike racing” into google, and do an image search, it comes 3rd in my results.

The starter solenoid is stuck on.The (+) battery cable goes to the starter solenoid.The battery is sending power to the solenoid – the solenoid is stuck on – power is sent to the starter motor.Either the starter solenoid is defective, or the start button (on the handle bars) is some how completing the start circuit.To narrow down the problem, unplug the starter solenoid from the wire harness (leave the 2 large cables attached).If the engine cranks when you connect the battery – the solenoid has a problem.Try to tap it a few times with a hammer – sometimes that will jar loose the magnetic terminals inside.

A friend of mine is about your height, and she rides a Yamaha Virago 250, she was also looking at a V star 250. She’s ridden it since she got her M1 [we're in Ontario too]. So I don’t believe there is a cc restriction on your M1.

Lots of riders equate desirability only with horsepower per dollar: A faulty premise which some will outgrow, others will not. It all depends on what you want a bike for. I owned a 2005 1200 Sportster Roadster for the 2005 riding season, and it didn’t have the performance that I had hoped for. (I also owned a Buell XB9S) On the other hand, the fellow who bought it from me couldn’t be happier.
