Hello everyone!! My name is Aftershock, and I come from the Evergreen state about 15 miles North of the Beaver state which is in some ways redundant, but I digress...I will be soon going to the MSF Clark county course to FINALLY learn how to ride without accidentally committing suicide (yes I know suicide is an action that can only be done on purpose so .)
I am looking forward to hopefully meeting some other newbs such as myself and also take in some advise from the experienced to whom I salute !!!!
Take care folks
PS BE SAFE (I know I'm gonna get beaned by beer bottles for saying that but oh well
If you can see the tops of the mountain's it's going to rain.
If you can't - it's raining.

Originally I was considering getting a Yamaha R6S but after reading some of the advice peices Im not really sure. I have given thought to possibly sitting on a Ninja250 to see how that feels. Oh well I'll find something I like but am not going to be serious about buying a bike until after I take the MSF course.

I like my Ninja 250 - it has served me well. It is a very predictable ride. I think - at its heart, a predictable ride is what you want for a first bike.

You are right that a bike with better predictability would be advantageous especially for a newbie such as myself. I guess I started thinking too much about the freeway commutes that I do for school. The reality is probably that I won't be doing any freeway riding until I am VERY comfortable with shifting and just having the experiance under my belt.
