Default New noo newbie

heyo..don't know if I will fit in here since I am such a beginner. Just about to o look at and probably buy a 2006Kawasaki 125 Eliminator from someone who has outgrown it.He is asking $1,500 and has under 1000 miles. He says it is perfect. I hadbeen looking for this bike used and now thatone has popped up, I feel like it is mine!! My motorcycle safety class doesnt start til end of March. I tried the class two years ago and had never rode a bike before that class and after two classes I decided to drop out because I felt I had not mastered what we did so there was no point in continuing.So the urge is still deep within and this time I am def getting it!!I am hoping to try and get on someones bike and get a little practice in before the class. So if anyone has any thing to offer, I am all ears...Hi to all...

Welcome, and watch out for evil, he's just...well....evil Anyway, that is a nice bike from what I saw, kind of like the Honda Rebel. Sounds like a great price. But have you considered the XT 225? My wife loves hers and she actually took the MSF on the same bike. Whatever you decide, don't feel like you are not going to fit in here, if you are a little off and crazy runs in your family, then you will fit in here just fine.

Disclaimer: If you actually do have anyone in your family with mental problems, I apologize in advance.

Is this the bike you are looking at?

Welcome, geat starter bike. Atleast your starting off small to get your skills down and that respectable. Too many people want to go big right away and end up getting hurt. Cheers!
