Very New Newbie Learning about Bikes

[ghostofdavid]

I'm going to have my GF take a picture of me tonight, wearing my armored mesh jacket, kevlar-lined jeans, leather boots, leather gloves, helmet, and impact-resistant sunglasses.

On my little Virago 535.

I do not look dorky or mismatched.

Can't wait

Me either. HURRY!!!!!!!!!

Then you might as well look as close to a power ranger as you can http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/it ... Division=1

Haha! I want the blue one .

The guy I bought my bike from his ex-girlfriend had this ridiculous helmet. She looked like a pink power ranger!

hey man,

i'll tell you what a friend of mine told me. there are always going to be deals. don't jump on the first one you see.

and keep in mind that inf you finance a bike you will usually have to get full coverage on the bike. before getting a bike you need to call your insurance company to get the cost of insuring it. if you can pay cash, then all you have to get is liability - which for me (29, good record, in nc) a cruiser is about 100 a year.

if you can wait until your class that might be best. that way you can findout if you like the smaller bikes.

personally, if i were going to go smaller i would look for one of the older honda cb's (or equivalent). such as this one.

you also need to find someone near you whom you trust and who knows motorcycles. that way they can help shop with you.

I am shy of this Yamaha because of the Carb work it says it needs in the listing.

Have you called a shop to get an idea of what it would cost if the carbs needed work? Its a good looking bike, and cheap!

100/year? What insurance do you use!?

why, is that a lot? it's through gieco and it's just liability.

No! I pay 70$/month for liability...
