Re: Looking For The Right Ride

Hi there, & welcome to the madhouse.

I'm 170 lbs, 5'9", 31" inseam, & the Geezer's ideal for me. Our taller/heavier members have never reported any problems.

I live on a small island, with mostly 30mph limits, but 50-55 is certainly a point where the Geezer shines (coupled with a mpg of around the middle 60s). I've had my geezer nearly 4 years now, & the only way I'd trade up is if I could find something else as manouverable for town riding.
I certainly think that the Geezer could be just the bike for you. Just one caveat - Don't even think of freeway riding over any long distances. None of the 250cc cruisers like sustained high speeds (70mph or over) for any great lengths of time, & they're so light that they might feel slightly unstable at these speeds. Having said that, however, I couldn't wish for a better bike at 50-55, & I've been riding for over 45 years. :2tup:
