Default Newb saying Hi

Hi all,
My name's Josh, i'm at student at Colorado State University but am spending the summer in Chesapeake Virginia. Currently I have a 1994 Yamaha YZ 250, I've been riding it since last summer and am hooked. I'll be looking for my first street bike this August, so far I'm looking at a mid 90's Suzuki Bandit 600. I don't really want a full on sports bike considering if I have the power I'm going to want to use it no matter how much I tell myself I won't. I love the styling of the Bandit but am still a little unsure about the power of a 600. I do want something a little bigger than the 250cc though. I put my Mazda up in the sig until I get a decent looking bike. My 250 is pretty beat up.

nice to see someone come right out and admit that they won't be able to resist the power of a 600+.

regarding your sig - it's a wee bit big. read this thread.

Thanks, that was the first day I got any real significant air. It's funny how the first time you get airborne 3 inches feels like you're flying, that day I think I was getting about 3 feet.
