Hi, I am new to the boards, and to bikes. I came here to learn more about the Venture Royale. I have never ridden, but someone is offering me a part cash part trade for my truck. The trade he is offering is a 1986 Venture Royale. I have always wanted a bike, and now might be a good time for me to start riding, but because I do not have any practical experience I am hoping to get some help from the experts (all you). My biggest concern is the size, weight and seat height. Im not a tall guy (5'4") and I tip the scales at 135lbs. We have a very extensive safety certification process where I live, but im a little worried that a large touring bike might be too much for a beginner. On top of that there is the seat height to consider. If anyone has some advice or experience they could share I would be grateful.
