Ill let you know in a few weeks . Getting my wife one as her first bike.

The blast would be a good bike to start on if your not sure what type of bike you want to move up to. I have heard about some reliability issues on the older ones but apparantly the newer ones are just fine.

If you have some idea of what type of bike you want (i.e. cruiser, sportbike, dual sport, etc) we could recommend some more bikes

The newer ones are supposed to be pretty solid. I just don't like 1 cylinder bikes
2000 Kawasaki Ninja EX500R (Sold)
2006 Suzuki SV650S (Stolen 4/08, recovered 12/08, sold 3/09)
2004 Suzuki SV650S (Sold)

Being bikeless SUCKS!!!

First, Welcome!

Second, Check out the sticky's in the New Bikers Forum and the Motorcycle Reviews&Opinions. A lot of good information there. And, the forums are easy to search by keyword.
