Congratulations.

I know a good dealer on this coast, in Titusville. Let me know if you're interested.

Maybe try to PM Pinhy (Doug). He rides an M50 and lives in Tampa. He occasionally checks into this site still.

Good luck.

Congrats, Billa!

And yes, the M is a great bike to learn on...er...well I have nothing to compare it to...but I'm basing my opinion on the fact that I have not dropped it yet (dropping bikes seems to be a curse that follows women), it doesn't scare me, and I'm quickly trying different types of road surfaces because I know this bike will handle well.

I could live 5 lifetimes and Central Florida would still be under road construction! So the other day on the way to the dealer, I went over several patched areas of road, swerving traffic lanes, uneven pavement between lanes, and had to make a left turn in front of traffic right onto gravel and sand...MC handled like a champ...my a$$ on the other hand, was begging for mercy

Thanks again for all the kind words. My goal is defintly to get an m50 not only is the bike impossible to beat for the price, it looks awesome and the best part you guys here at the forum are awesome as well!

Petcop, maybe once I get the m50 and get some expeirence riding it we can meet up sometime and go for a ride. I think theres a few people in tampa as well . Trust me between tampa and orlando if there is ever a time when there isnt construction going on, I know the world is not right! 275, 4 & 75 all have construction right now I cant get around it!
