    First bike

    Went out yesterday and picked up my first bike. I have been wanting one for years and finally pulled the trigger yesterday. It was a long drive but I the guy seemed honest and the people I talked to locally did not. I got there and it was in better shape than I thought plus I got a tube full of parts. A brand new front Pilot tire and I had one or two mods he did not list on-line. I think I came out pretty good.

    Nice bike! Only mods I would do right now would be to shorten the can. Congrats and get some good gear.

        650.
        Before I spent the money on the bike I forced Myself to go buy gear. I knew if I bought a bike without it I would ride it as long as I had some kind of helmet.

        The can has already been gutted and does not sound to bad for what it is.I'm sure I will start modding soon. My fox body mustang was going to stay stock with just exhaust now it is no longer a street car and looking to get into the 6.4-6.5 second range this year.

                That is the exact bike that I recommend to people looking for their first sportbike. You can ride it all summer and likely get all your money back if you decide to upgrade later.

                Great choice man, you're going to have a lot of fun on that bike!

                      You're gonna enjoy that windscreen, trust me. This was my '03.

                        Nice bike period, but a perfect first bike at a good price. It is pretty forgiving as long as you don't wack it WTFO in first or second gear. Wear your gear, take a MSF course, keep the shiney side up and ENJOY!
