I have been wanting to get a motorcycle for awhile now.. and I'm seriously thinking about getting started.

I would like to get a few motorcycle lessons under my belt before I get my license and my bike.

Would anyone know anywhere that offers classes??

1. take the MSF course at the chesapeake tcc
2. buy gear (helmet, gloves, jacket, boots)
3. get your license
4. buy a bike -- 250, 500, no more than 600 (w a few excepetions) unless you want to kill yourself
5. practice, practice, practice
6. search then ask questions

 

dont buy a new 250 or 500, actually, dont buy a new one period for your first bike.. youll drop it and the value will go down alot. i started on a sv650, im now on a 06 gsxr 600, and i could see how it could get a new rider in trouble, that 600 is no joke... but i think if you can keep off the speed, then you should be ok on a 600.

 

definitely, also if the bike u get doesnt already have em, get frame sliders, if u happen to drop ur bike or tip it over, itll save u a lot of problems.
seroiusly tho, i would suggest an older 600.
250 gets boring really fast, and a 500 can't keep up with that many other bikes very well. so unless u plan on selling the bike after a month or 2, get a 600.

 

Hopefully I'll be getting a Ninja 500 in a month or 2. Already signed up for the MSF in mid May. Back up bike will be a bandit or seca.

 

i d suggest an older 600 for your first as well. say a lightly downed honda 600 f4i. once you get get used to it (and drop it) then you can swap your sprockets/chain out for more acceleration. the best bang for your buck.

 

plug: buy my GSF600

MSF is the way to go.
