AikiDale Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 I take it you are new to riding. It is a blast. Enjoy. And always watch out for that sleeping driver turning left in front of you.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscbigdawg Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Alvin, If you wanna get hooked affordably, I have a friend with a 2004 Honda Shadow Saber for $6,000 w/ like 2k miles on it and another $1k-1,500 in goodies added on. It's a sweet bike. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The little Kawasaki 250R is going to have to do it for me for awhile. All my money is being sucked up by my shooting addiction right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolan Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Alvin, Just like in shooting, take every rider training course that you can. 92% of all motorcycle fatalities have NO professional rider training. The 8% that took training probably slept through the class! Nolan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ducman Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 I second the training recommendation. I took a street/racing course before I got my bike. That training has saved me several times. Kieth Code's books are excellent. He's like the BE of motorcycle racing! His writing is very thoughtful and deep. Do yourself a favor and read them.

ErikW Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Kaw 250R? As in Ninja two-fitty? 14,000 revs of fun. Some of the most fun I had was on my thumper (all torque, no revs) dicing with Ninjettes. Curiously, a 600 single dual sport and a 250 twin sport bike both top out a little over 100 mph and get there at much the same rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
