My FZ is my first bike. I read alot of info on what an appropriate bike would be for a newbie. After reading the thread on this site I almost bought a Ninja 250. I'm glad I didn't. Took the MSF a year before buying the bike so I was a little rusty. Spent the first month in a parking lot and on...

Not only do we have to watch for caggers but also cyclist. Over the weekend I witness a cyclist cross the street when he did not have the right of way and a guy on his HD had to brake quickly. He locked his back tire, got thrown off and his bike went into the woods. He seemed OK, he was limping...
I'm 5-7. New rider. First bike. I can get the balls of my feet on the ground. Usually not a problem on stops, but difficult to back up the bike in a parking spot. Thinking about shaving the seat. Wondering if it's worth the hassle.
2009, 4300 miles with upgraded seat, handlebars and Leo Vince exhaust $5,500 out the door price (tax, tags etc). Great deal from the dealer, had to jump on it!
