Hello everyone,

Just bought my first bike last Sunday. It's a 2007 with 12k miles on it. Only riding experience I have is on a KX60 back when I was like 11. I was really leaning towards a Ninja 300, but didn't want to shell out about 6 grand for a new bike. Also it really didn't feel that comfortable, so I decided to look for something a little bit bigger. My uncle has tons of riding experience and thinks this will be a good beginner bike as long as I respect it. Looking forward to taking my MSF course as it is required in Florida. The gear is already adding up!

Picture of us loading it up.

Nice bike!

Welcome to the forum, don't spend to much time here or you are going to end up spending even more than you already have on mods you didn't even know you needed!

Boca Raton. Everyone just kept telling me I was crazy for wanting a bike in Florida. I will admit you don't see a lot of them, but I really wanted to experience riding.

:welcome:to our big family!

Why would someone say you're crazy for having a bike in Florida?

Well for one I live in a highly congested area. Second the average age around here is 97.

:welcome: You passed the first test (posting pic of your ride) :thumbup:

Keep the RPM below 6k and you have yourself a 250cc until you're ready to unleash the beast.

Ride like your invisable!!! :thumbup:

365 days of riding, no storage issues! The bike is tame at the lower RPM's, handles great, will get up and go when the right wrist will allow it!

That's a great shot of a well kept bike. Why not enter BOTM, Scott?

That's one of the reasons why my son (who lives in Ft. Myers) sold his FZ1

Ride like your invisable!!! :thumbup:
