Hey All...

I have been heavily researching bikes for the past 4 to 6 weeks. I just passed my MSF course this past weekend and plan on getting the M on my license this week.

Now I need to get a bike....

The MSF course had 125's for the riding. I have spoken to a couple of salesmen, and they steer me toward the M50/C50 as a first bike. I spoke with other people (including a couple of course coaches) and they agree that the 800cc of the M and C50's is not a bad first bike. What do you all think? I am leaning more toward the M50 if I go that route.

I am looking for a night/weekend casual ride bike. Maybe commuting to work on it every once in a while. A group ride every now and then if I can get in one. Physically, the bike fits me well.

Then new or used...I have no idea...I go back and forth on that point...

Thanks for any input at all...
Rob.
