    Looking for a Motorcycle

    Looking for a new toy... this would be my first bike so I don't need anything too crazy or fancy / something I'm gonna kill myself on. (not looking for a dirt bike)

    Idealy I'd like to trades guns for her, but cash may be an option

    I'm in North Bay but work in Dublin


    Thanks

        Take MSF, that's my only advice. That and don't be suckered into buying too small a displacement. A 600 while allot of bike for a newbie won't kill you unless you can't control your right hand.

                  Definately a GSXR-1000 !!!


                  JK! Take the MSF course and start with something smaller and managable.

                  The Kawasaki 250 Ninja is a good start, get a use one so if you dropped it you won't feel like kaka!! Another good choice is a older Suzuki GS500 without the fairings, anvil reliable motor fun to ride, just get engine case guards for it!

                  good luck in your search and have fun!!
