|  Wanting to be a new rider.
Ok, I'll save the sighs in saying that I don't want a 600cc bike for my first ride. I just want a nice looking, smooth sailing, good bike. I've heard good things about the Ninja 250R, but I'd like to know if it's a good "hot-off-the-press" bike for me. Because the closest thing I've ridden to that is a mountain bike. I want to ride for 2 reasons. 1. It's a good way to get around, and is a stylish... inexpensive way to do it. 2. My mom passed away recently, and a permit in california allows me to ride without a parent unlike a car permit. (Which I have but I have 3 months until my license) I just want to know what items I'll need (besides the motorcycle), and why I'll need them. So my questions that I'd love to have answered in a list: 1. What would be a good bike (sportsbike design, like the 600cc Yamaha R6)? 2. What accessories would I need? 3. What are good practices? |
