I'm starting to look forward to 2010, it should be a great event. I might even see if I can get in on the volunteer team. If it's like the PGA system, I might not be able to afford it... :roll:

Well, you're in the right place. Read some of the stickies at the top of the new biker's forum. The fact that you WANT a good, cheap beginner's bike and some training puts you light years ahead of 80% of the people who come here. Most want to know whether to buy a GSX-R750 or if they should splurge and buy the 1000 instead...

As for good starter bikes there's usually 3 we recommend.

The Suzkuki GS500
The Kawasake EX 250 & EX 500 (Ninja)

All are lower powered and very forgiving.
