Hey, I'm 16 years old from wisconsin and new to the forum which is a great place btw. I can't take the motorcycle safety course until summer because of school and my job, so I am going to be getting a bike next spring, and am just trying to price things up.
First off would I be fine starting off with a 1998-2001 Katana 600? Some people say its too powerful, but I think if i don't do anything dumb i would be fine, but I am asking because you guys know more than me.
I will have 2000-2800 saved up by spring, and would be able to take a loan of less than 1k for any extra of the bike.
A few other questions are... What price should I be looking to spend on a bike that is a good running bike from the years i mentioned? Also, about how much will insurance be for me at the age of 17 when i get my bike and living in wisconsin?
Thanks all in advanced, and even though it is a while a way, i hope i can get together with some of you for group rides next year.
