Default Cincinnati Kawasaki Lover

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to say hello. My uncle had a 90 Ninja (not sure how big, he is dumb and doesn't remember) that he used to take me rides on as a kid. Motorcycles have always been a fascination of mine, but since I lost a friend in HS to an accident I was intimidated by them. However, some new friends of mine are really into bikes and have finally gotten me into them. I'm going to get my temporaries in a couple weeks and then taking a class in August, and hopefully I can pick up my own bike in late July with money from a summer job. I'm a bigger guy (6'1 240) so I'm looking at either a EX500 or 500R or maybe an EX600. I've ridden a few smaller bikes (Honda Trail 90, a 400 cc yamaha), so at least I'm not a total noob right?

Welcome to KF. Get the biggest bike that you feel comfortable with so you wont be compelled to trade up as soon!
Have fun riding when you get your new bike!
