I have never rode a motorcycle before. I plan on taking the MSF course. I go to the university of florida. I also plan on using my bike to travel to class on campus, 1-2 miles roundtrip each day, go to the gym on campus, go to the grocery store off campus once every two weeks, and will not be doing any night riding. I dont even plan on riding my bike on the highways for fun. It will be strictly campus riding, occasional highway riding for errands only. My parents have talked about the idea of getting me a car, but id rather have the money spent on a nice bike. Heres the zinger, i want a gixxer 600. i really like this bike. another alternative would be a scooter. i dont really want one of those. so my question. would the gixxer 600 be too much of a bike for a new rider who will be riding in my circumstances? would the time spent riding around the univ. be enough to accomodate myself with the bike? i def. plan on wearing helmet/jacket, and jeans. i need some advice..
