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!

Welcome,

I think you will find we are rather passionate about our Ninjettes, not only as beginner bikes, but also for seasoned riders.
