New from Iowa
Pretty new to riding. Dirt bikes as a kid, but never licensed for the road. Taking my rider safety class in a few weeks and licensed soon after.
Looking for a small displacement bike to practice skills on for a semi-epic tour I have planned next summer. I have my choices narrowed to about 3, the ninja being one. I'm here for research in that regard. |

Looking forward to reading about your plans. The General Motorcycling Discussion forum is probably the best. Guaranteed you'll get some great suggestions on any aspect from a wide variety of readers. It's rare in forums but here at ninjette; the vast majority are of a very high quality!
