I bought my1st bike in May of this year. It was still cold in the mornings, but warm in the afternoons. I was looking for a used bike becuase they were cheaper than new ones. Well I was looking at mid 2000 Ducati 996, of course the wife said hell no. The sales man thatwas working with me and my wife pointed out the Ninja 250R's, and being new was cheaper than most other used bikes on the sales floor. Long story short, I got the 250, and i'm glad I did!

I've been peicing together all my gear thoughout this summer. My father in law gave me his old helmet when I got the bike so I could ride. I have two helmets that I bought and a nice armer jacket. I never took the MSF course. I just did the drive test. Insurance wise, I carry full cov. and I pay $18 a month though State Farm. (23y/o and 0 points)

Look for a bike that is rite for you. Do your research, find out how much insurance will cost before hand. Take your time, and just think it out. You will be fine =)
