Hey
Hello, my name is Eric I live in PA and I recently passed my permit test, I am registered to take my MSF in a few weeks. I am very excited, I am planning on getting a Ninja 250r once I get my liscence. For the past few weeks I have been reading over some forums and websites trying to soak up as much knowledge about riding and the bike I am planning on getting so I can be as prepared as possible once I get it. Unfortunately my getting a bike is completely dependent upon me being able to sell my car, but once I get my new bike I will be sure to post pics. Just thought I would introduce myself.

RE: Hey
Welcome Eric, you will find a wealth of information in here, no question unanswered. Have fun. Can I make a suggestion? Take the driving test on a scooter or a dual sport bike. I know a lot of guys here have taken it on what ever they have, but trust me I saw a guy that was experienced on his ninja, and he was the only one that day out of all of us who flunked the cone weave.The rest of us were on DS bikes, and scooters for the old dudes.

Welcome to the forums.
As mentioned above a DS does make taking the course easier.
Good luck.

RE: Hey
You will probably get either a small Suzuki, Yami, Kawi, or Honda 250cc or less. I know some MSF courses actually use Ninja 250's.
Good luck with the MSF, It's an easy course to complete.
And, welcome to KF!

Yeah I was planning on just using whatever they provide for me during the MSF. Once I actually get my liscence and hopefully by then my car will be sold, then I will pick up my ninja.
