Hey everyone...just wanted to say hello to everyone. Looking forward to my very first bike in the Spring of 2006, so I'll be relying on all you vets to help me sort it all out.

Thanks n Cheerz

Welcome aboard. Ride safe and have fun

Thank you...thank you...

Say, from what I've been reading on here and my other research, I'm leaning toward a used, and hopefully well kept Kawasaki 500 as a first bike...either that or the Suzuki...

Sound choices? Ideas? I don't see what all the fuss is about when some newbs want more powerful bikes to learn on...these both seem to be capable machines AND they look good too... :D

I (and I think most others) think 500ccs is a reasonable learner's bike in most cases - what style of bike are you thinking about?

So many threads....so little time...

I've just about settled on a Kawa Ninja 500 for starters...
