Greetings. It's been a few years since I've ridden but am looking to get back into it. Last was a Suzuki 500 quite a few years back but have jumped on my son's dirt bike every now and then.
I've been reading up and looking over bike ads to see what might work for me. I've see a few C10's available nearby that have caught my eye. Looking for something on the low end of the price scale since I'll need gear, taxes, insurance, repairs... Don't mind doing the work on my own so that should help.
A couple questions if anyone has any thoughts:
1) I'm 5'9" with a 30 to 31" inseam. As I haven't had a chance to sit on a C10 as yet does anyone think that might be an issue? I'm 57 but still surprise the young guys when I go to bootcamp/cardio kickboxing!
2) How common is the hydrolock issue? Anything to listen for or feel when checking out a bike?
Thanks for any input anyone may have.
John
