Hi!
Hi just thought I'd make my intro post here.
I'm 37 and I've never ridden a motorcycle before but I've always wanted to and I finally went ahead and bought a bike this past Thursday (coincidentally my birthday). It's a 2012 250R SE with 1370 miles on it. A guy bought it for his wife in May of 2012 and she was afraid of it. He even installed frame sliders on it! She laid it down on the right side and there is about an 8" scratch on the muffler, some knicks to the frame slider and a scratch on the end of the handlebar, that's it. It honestly looks new. I only paid $2,500 =x I'm pretty excited. I'm taking the safety class on January 31st and I'll probably start commuting on it in February or March. Right now I've just been riding it around my apartment community. Tons of fun so far though and not as hard as I thought it'd be! |
