I think that pretty much covers it...
Besides the 500s. Bandit 600/400s are good bikes too.

Everything I put on that list is still being imported... if we want to get deep in the weeds, there are thousands of old bikes out there that are good beginner bikes.

Most 400 and 500s have been discontinued (in the US)

EDIT: I'm not saying that old bikes are not great first bikes... I just prefer newer shit.

So last night 2 lights skipped me. The first one I told the car behind me to pull up, he pulled all the way beside me. Didn't quite mean that. The second light I just ran, didn't feel like waiting.

I do this all the time, but it's usually at night or early morning. I HATE when people pull up like 3 car lengths behind you, it's like wtf?!

They passed a law like two years ago. We can treat a traffic light like a 4-way intersection after 2 cycles.
