Hey Everyone,Let me preface this by saying that I do not have my license yet but i'm taking the msf class next weekend,and have been looking for a bike for the last 3 months. I think I might have found one. Question: Is it
common to get a bike before license and msf class?


thanks, Scootini

i got mine about a week after i had my permit. took a few lessons on a smaller bike(250) while practicing on mine in between. took the test with my bike and it was cake.

I rode for about a year and a half before obtaining a permit so...sure...have at it! :laughing:

If you buy it from a dealer you won't be able to test ride it, even with a permit. After the MSF you might change your mind about the kind of bike you want...why buy a bike that's just going to sit in the garage? There are plenty of bikes out there to buy, a better deal will come along.
