Are you serious? So learning the friction zone, shifting, braking, accellerating yada yada yada, has nothing in common with riding a street bike? hhhmmm, my mistake, I thought it was the same.

Granted, street and dirt riding require entirely different skills, but the fundamentals are for the most part, the same. No?


Sorry, off topic.

OUT.

It's got quite a bit of wheel gap.

Buy a CBR1000RR

sv650s is a perfect starter bike, and not a bad looking bike ethier. Mine gets maybe on average 50-60mpg if you take it easy. Dont let the 650cc fool you, its a v-twin, meaning its way better on gas then most bikes. IM selling mine for 4,500 in the for sale section, check it out.

I just realized who made this thread, and the above is COMPLETELY true! You need to mature a WHOLE LOT before you hop on a fucking scooter dude.
