Nice look bike be sure to post some pics when you get it :thumbup:

 

I have been riding since 1994. I currently own a 1999 Honda VFR 800 FI. I still don't understand why first time riders go out and buy superbikes. So many end up trashing the bikes. I hate having to pay high motorcycle insurance rates for inexperienced riders! At least make sure you wear a helmet and I highly suggest the Motorcycle Safety Foundation courses no matter what level you are at. They are VERY informative an you WILL be a better rider afterward.

 

niiiiiiiice

 

Poeple buy superbikes because they draw attention - a lot of it. The same people end up dropping their bike. However, I've been riding for 4 years (I know thats nothing but for my age its more experienced then most everyone I know in my age bracket) and I know that sometime my bike will go over.

Its just a matter of how long you ride before it happens. You don't have to be doing anything wrong, it can be someone else doing something totally out of your realm of control (and no you cant put yourself in a safer situation).

So have fun, be safe, watch out of the stupid people in the world, and wear good safety stuff - you will need it sometime probably when you least expect it.

Great bikes you guys .. Last one I had was a 82 650 Maxum that was over 10 years old when I bought it with 8000 miles on it.

Anyway be cool and *wear* your helmet. When they made the helmets law up here the fatalities dropped dramatically ... and they had a neat ad campain ,, as spinoff of of "here is your brain .. here is your brain on drugs ( the fried egg thing ) but they showed a pumpkin

Here is your head = pix of pumpkin.
Here is your head at 5 MPH = pix of pumpkin splattering on a telephone pole.

I still miss the bike .. envious .. be safe guys.

 

I miss my bikes more and more all the time. But I had no repsect for the bike and road way to crazy so they're gone.

Just keep in mind that other drivers need to go back to driver's ed. to learn how to watch for/respect your bike on the road. I had so many close calls with people who never even looked it's rediculous.

Wear a helomet and be safe..

 

Definitely take the MSF course. It's worth it, both for your own knowledge and safety, as well as helping to keep your insurance rates down. :wink:

I've been riding bikes of all shapes and sizes for the better part of 16 years and have had many spills. Luckily, they have all been on dirtbikes (grass and dirt is softer than asphalt!) and they were all learning experiences that I took with me when I started riding road bikes. Take it slow and respect the machine, that type of bike can get you into trouble real fast!

Also, before I forget, do invest in quality protective gear. Don't skimp here, otherwise you'll possibly regret it later. Ride often, and ride safe! Enjoy the new toy... :wink:

 

Nice bike! *Chough*
Really its nice.. I like sport bikes but i cant see myself on one of them for a 100 mile run to say something like Hollister rally.. My back would die.

I just started riding this Feb with a 2003 HD Sportster 883C, and she is a blast (Already have 200 miles on her.. Thank you west coast weather!).
Like others i would tell you MSF is a damn good class, even if your getting back to riding there is alot the class teaches and trys to reproduce problems you might have one day on the road so you know what to do. I plan on taking the experince course in Nov once they open up again.
For insurance also, MSF gives you a big discount, and so does being part of a Owners group (For me its HOG and AMA).
Just remember to watch out around you for them cagers, they can do some pretty dumb stuff and not see you (i know...). Wear some good gear but dont try to be someone else and wear all the protection gear you can find.. You need to find whats in your confort zone, now on a sportbike that might be good deal since you can get some pretty crazy speed on them and turning, but try not to look like a power ranger. Just take it easy, and dont split lanes till your confident! But also pratice in doing so, it is handy and sometimes being in traffic too long on a bike does take its toll on them...
On, and dont forget: WAVE TO YOUR FOLLOW RIDERS And yes, harley owners will save to sportbikers if they are not busy on the clutch.
Oh, and my pic of my ride =P

 

Whaddya talkin' about...? Last summer I did 1000 miles in less than 24 hours in the Iron Butt Saddle Sore 1000 on my VFR.

 

Just take it easy, and dont split lanes till your confident!

I recommend NEVER doing this if you want to cut down on your risk of getting injured or creating road rage in other drivers. All it takes is one guy in a beater to open his door. I've seen it happen....

But also pratice in doing so, it is handy and sometimes being in traffic too long on a bike does take its toll on them...

Unless your bike is with the current technological "wave" and is water cooled, not air cooled... :wink: :lol: j/k

On, and dont forget: WAVE TO YOUR FOLLOW RIDERS

Definitely! :thumbup:

About the Air cool thing.. LoL, Sentra, but yeah.. A few weeks back in a good hot day here i got stuck in Traffic in downtown and i pretty much HAD to cut to the front and split if i did not want to kill my poor engine...

Well i was ususally told not to split on the right where cars are parked for that reason... Someone might just open a door without seeing you. Now in Traffic, 90% of drivers in CA know bikers are going to split lanes, its legal... Now i have a few dumb asses pull there nosie of there car at me, which in turn they get a boot in there fender. My size 10 leave a good mark. But dont make it a habit if you dont have too, but you should KNOW HOW. Pratice at the local parking lot when it empty if you have too on things you dont think your ready with.. You want want to try them out for the first time when your option is to lay your bike down.
