hey everyone, new to the riding scene. just wanted to say hi to everyone and hope to get some good tips.

dont own a bike just yet, but have been looking at a 1977 suzuki gs750. how would that be as a first bike?

I'm rather new myself and can't make a recomendation on the bike you mentioned but; Here comes the standard lecture....

First of all.....


Second, Have you checked out the Beginner's Guide? There are also stickies and the Learn To Ride A Motorcycle page which is now downloadable in PDF format (Created and maintained by Dragonhawk).

Third, I also recommend an MSF course and reviewing your state’s (province’s/territory’s) DMV or DOT website for licensing information, guidelines and FAQ.

Fourth, Go to a variety of dealers and sit on all kinds of different motorcycles. Even if you don’t think you’d like the ride when you look at it. I was dead set on one riding style when I started and ended up buying a different type. You may surprise yourself as well.

Fifth, Good Luck and Have Fun! I hope you enjoy this site! Be sure to...

WElcome...if you reach the ground flat footed when stopped,and handle the power...it's a good choice....the pther concern would be replacement parts.

Welcome! +1 to what he said^^

replacement parts? are they expensive? hard to find? what is the concern?
