Re: Howdy and a few questions

I haven't really decided yet, it will prolly be a month or so before I get anything. I am leaning toward the ninja 250 or 500 still for at least a year or two. Get one nice but used, then go from there. I will see though. Thanks for all the help.

Re: Howdy and a few questions

I have looked at both the gs500 and sv650 but have been told by several different people that they would be too big (engine wise) for a newbie, is that true or not?
