lol Nice. I'm probably going to go do the MSF course and utilize the 90-day waiver to get my license. Seems easier.

I went this way because my other car is a 92 Mustang and I know how I drive it and I didn't want to start big and kill myself. So here I am.....
I applaud you for this approach. I had the same thought process when I was looking for my bike. I got a banged up 250 because I knew was going to drop it at least once, which I have.lol

If all your bike has is busted up fairings, you can replace those for about $500 +/- when you're ready. $3k for a '12 is a pretty solid deal, if that's all that is needed. Down here in GA, you could probably flip that for a decent profit based on what I've seen.

Congrats on the bike, and welcome to the forum!
