Thanks for the advice! I went to check it out Saturday, and 20 mins later, my buddy drove it home for me (dont have license yet) LOL...i gave him 4500. The thing was spotless! 1653 miles. Original tires on it looked brand new! Ran perfect. Sounded great. He threw in a Joe Rocket jacket and gloves and a tinted windshield. Im thinking it was a fair deal. I mean the thing looked like it just came off the showroom floor, not 1 tiny scratch and he had all the servicing dont at Honda even when he didnt ride it for months he still had them change the oil. Damn! haha Ive been riding it on the back roads near my house and I love it. Yea, its not as fast as my buddys GSXR 750 but i feel so much more comfortable taking this bike into the turns then i do with his. Probably cause his is lowered...but anyways LOL I love this thing. I cant wait to get my license so i can ride it around.

Motorcycle Safety Course, get enrolled stat. If you join Honda Riders of Tidewater, they will pick up the fee for the course. Enjoy your new bike, take it slow untill you get comfortable.

Mehh, good beginner bike bc they have no power. Although I wouldn't have paid nearly that much for it, I almost picked up a 03 600RR for 3K with some scratches last week. To each his own I guess.

Give it time...especially riding it with no license and no safety course.
