Re: Cycle Newbie
Hopefully a local dealer has one monday or tuesday, I just want to see the thing in person. I want to get all the MSF class stuff out of the way before even thinking about buying it. I'td be fun to just go in and charge it all to my card though.
so uh, at the MSF class they teach HOW to drive it right? I don't even know how to drive a manual car -_-. Going to feel like such a 'tard when I go, but ill pay for my friend to go at least so I have some company.

Re: Cycle Newbie
I couldn't drive manual when i took one back in 2000, but learned ok. I was so bad and sold the bike for school. Now I can drive stick well, and want to see how my bike skills are. Its cool they count the waiver for the written test too now. And I second the wait on classes. Killer indeed. I lucked out once and got in on someone who was late/noshows spot. Good luck, ride safe.

Re: Cycle Newbie
went today to look at them, didnt find a 250R, supposedly "sold out everywhere." I was told I could get one 1,000 over mrsp (and I guess before other fees)
they were more than happy to tell me the bike was "too small, and no power" for me and i'd want a 600cc one because if I did get the 250, i'd sell it in 30 days.
yea i dont want a 6k+ bike for my first one, and I want to become REAL comfortable before i'd get something faster. Also, avoid any newb mistakes as dropping the bike etc etc.
/sigh

Re: Cycle Newbie
Most people selling the bike you are looking for are not selling it because the bike has problems. They are selling it because they are up grading to a bigger bike. Look into the Suzuki GS500F too. I had the non faring E version and it was a great little bike.
