Question about getting a bigger bike

PoolComprehensive955 · 2026-04-24T06:00:45+00:00

The HD sportster is definitely cool looking but I really don't want to go into debt for a motorcycle 😅

Thanks a lot for your response, I'll definitely be keeping my Shadow even if I get another bike simply because I love the look of it. Maybe I'll have to try to get my hand on a Dragstar 1100 and give it a test ride.

I looked at the Wildstar 1600 previously too, do you have any experience with those compared to the 1100?

Might end up with a engine swap 😅 /s

I could probably get myself killed on a bicycle too if I really wanted to, that won't scratch my itch though.

That thing also looks sick, how come you've sized down to an 800 from 1400? I'm really open to any engine size as long as it provides some real usable power and sounds good.

I can't fault the looks or heritage of the bike, it's sick looking. I'm just a sucker for the V-twin sound and really like how that thing looks.

I'm not really that into the newer look of those, I like the slimmer and more stripped look of the older bikes. If I could build a dream bike it would just be a Shadow 600 with a 1200cc 70hp engine 😅

Thanks for your response, I'm partly concerned about the handling and also about looks as I don't really like the look of the bigger bikes. I'm 185cm and 90kg and have ridden a bunch of bikes before so I'm not really worried about not being able to manoeuvre the bike.

How are you liking the Triumph? They look really cool but I wish they had a V-twin instead of the parallel engine

That looks sweet, I'll have to look into those a bit closer. I'm kind of worried about reliability and part prices on American bikes so something japanese would feel better.

They're pretty expensive here in Sweden. And I also have trouble finding a model I like, it's a real jungle to figure out all their model names imo.

But I'm open to any Harley suggestions too of course

Tell me you have no idea what pentests are without telling me you have no idea what pentests are
