Hi All,
I've been hanging out at this site for a few days now and thought it was time to post. I'm new to motorcycles period. I have signed up for my msf and the earliest class is in July. I actually took the learners permit test here in MD this past Saturday and failed it by 1 question . I will try again Monday. I have been researching which bikes a beginner should get. I'm 5'7" and 200lbs. First of:
I want to get a bike that I can learn from and then be able to grow into. I'm not a speed so I won't be doing anything crazy.
This bike is for commuting and to save money on gas.
I want to stick with sport bikes because at 25 years old, I find them appealling and when I'm older like 40 I can switch to cruisers.
My price range is under 7k. My local bike shop has a ninja 500r for $4995 and the katana 600 for $6300. I like how the katana's look and I'm leaning more towards them than the ninjas because I'm less likely to outgrow the katana. I have already called my insurance agent and the cost is the same for either one.
So folks let me know what you experienced riders think. If everything goes well I will be back to the bike shop and be ready to buy at the end of april or early may.
thanks
