Default What's going on!

Hows it going guys and gals...

My name is Kyle and I'm new here to this forum obviously... I would love to get into motorcycle riding and just came up on an offer for a ninja that I just can't pass up. I'm a die hard honda nut (when it comes to cars) and I need another form of transportation.

The 900 is an awfull lot of bike to start on,I would start small and next spring move up.Take the MSF course and wear your gear.too many people jump to a huge bike to be cool and end up dumping it quick and get hurt.JMO

Any heavy ride causes some anxiety for anyone new or experienced. Combine power to weight ratio's, it kinda builds up even more. The 9's are a good machine, but not my first choice in a first street ride.

Do what I did, get a cheap bike and dump away. Then move up after you earned your bumps and bruises... (if any). And welcome to the forums.
