Motorcycle and Scooter appreciation

You don't know yet if you'll prefer twins, v twins, inline 4, v4 etc. They all have different qualities and most riders settle on a favourite or have a few bikes.

Bit late to the what-bike chat, but this is roughly what I was going to say. Plus the standard reminder that most decent size branded dealers will let you take a bike out for a decent test ride, so do that a lot to work out what you want.
