I have a 26 mile commute to work on mostly lightly traveled country roads; 6 miles of it is gravel. It's not at all a bad commute, but I've been thinking of ways to make it more interesting, one of which (much to the dismay of my mother) would be getting a motorcycle
I am completely new to motorcycles, though I have friends who ride. I have been toying with the idea of getting a smaller bike as I won't need to take it on the freeway (though freeway legal would be nice as a "just in case" measure). The only real requirements (other than things I'm overlooking!) are that it can handle both dirt and pavement, and can comfortably keep up with 60 MPH traffic (on paved roads of course).
I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction as far as what type of bike would be appropriate for this sort of riding?
Thanks!
