I've finally bought a bike, and I will be getting it next Sunday. It is a '95 Ninja 250, which I think is appropriate for me. I'm going to be taking it slow, and I mean slow
. I don't have a license to drive it yet. I plan to take the msf course, and here are 2 pics of the bike, one from each side.

That's a nice ninja!
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

it's a CBR125... very small beginner bike in both overall size and engine size.
too bad it's not available here in the US.

Some day I'll be able to make a thread like this...
But until then all I can do is congratulate those who are more fortunate than I.
I'd say go ride it til it screamed for mercy but since you haven't taken the MSF just go out and sit on it and make motorcycle noises til your neighbors scream for mercy.
Or call the cops, whichever.
Have fun on the open /¦\

Only with about 200 or so less horsepower.

LoL Shiv, I plan to be sitting on that bike a lot before I can ride it. Once I get a helmet, jacket, and gloves, I might walk it to a near by parking lot to get use to it a little.
