I am all that is man.
How is this for a starter bike? I take the riding portion of the MSF this weekend and will be looking for a bike as soon as possible. Tomorrow will be the first time I've ever been on a motorcycle.



edit: I thought it was a bit pricey for a 25 year old bike. I'll keep looking, I'm willing to wait until after the holidays.

What about this? I have no tools or know-how to repair bikes, but I figure there's no time like now to learn. I can probably swing a battery pretty easy, but how hard are carbs to work on? Is this doable for a complete non-mechanic, or should I look for something that would require less work?

Anyone know anything about Yamaha Radians?

Again, I'm looking for a good starter/beginner bike, just rode for the first time this weekend at the MSF course. I really like the way this bike looks, and everything I can find about it makes it look like a good learner bike. Is this price too high, or anything bad I need to know about them?


edit: This looks so amazingly awesome. http://sandiego.craigslist.org/esd/mcy/951888619.html

I'm going to buy a Scrambler soon, and almost immediately take it from San Diego to the Grand Canyon. :cool:

some guy from advrider's Scrambler:

Is a Buell xb9sx a good starter bike?


My brother is kind of impulsive and traded for one without having ever really ridden before. Is he going to die?
