Well I passes my MSF class this weekend, wriiten yesterday and my skills today. I did good overall for a first timer ever on a bike, no craziness of going out of control and no dropping of the bike. In my section there were 12 of us and 11 passed and the lady dropped her bike on the first exercise. She just seemed flustered I guess so hopefully she will go back and take the re exam. Anyhow time to shop now and im looking at the GS500..like all newbies as well as the Yahmaha FZ6.
Gratz on passing the BRC A lot of great information to be taken from that class.
I can only be prejudice towards the GS500 since that is my bike..hehe, but if you can get your hands on one, they are a great machine to learn and ride one.
