My New Bike :)
« on: March 16, 2012, 11:51:02 PM »
Just got it delivered 2 days ago. Live in lakeville but bought it from Bristows up in St. Cloud, gave me the best deal by a long shot, $7300 OTD. I'm a new rider and am having a blast learning so far.

Nice!  I like how they cleaned up the front end of the bike this year.  Looks like a little Ninja 1000.

That's going to a very fun bike to ride as you develop your skills.  That's a very nice first bike. 

This was my first motorcycle after I had a 250 scooter as well... it was no faster but I got to shift.

Thanks! Most people have said it's a good starter bike, but ofcourse theres always some who say that its way too powerful for a beginner. Only 22miles on it so far but in that time I went from riding around the neighborhood to riding out on some main roads at ~45mph and practice upshifting and downshifting. MSF course mid April, can't wait to develop my skills and enjoy riding :).

Nothing beats that new bike smell.  :D

Welcome to the wonderful obsession of motorcycling.

These people have taught me more about riding than any day spent on a track: Larry B, Tony K, Vince J, Mr. Wonderful, V2Neal, Marty F, Kevin B, Devon W, Ehrich, Mike A, John L, Arnell, Kirk, Ray C

Track days are like climbing the rock wall at REI.
Perhaps I need to stop taking the high road.
