Talking First timer from Chicagoland!

I'm Miles and am just getting into riding. Only have ridden bicycles and electric scooters. I'm from The Region (if you are from Chicagoland, you know where it is at). Going to college for Computer Information Technology and plan on going into Law Enforcement afterwards.

If everything goes smooth tomorrow, I will own a 2012 Ninja 250, black in color. Managed to get it out the door for just under $4600, which was about the best price I could get after going to 4+ dealers. Was debating a lot with the Ninja 650, but two things made me not get it. Being a first time rider and finances.

I am good with technology, including vehicle electronics, so I am sure I will enjoy modifying my motorcycle to make it "my own".

Cannot wait to ride!

Stay safe!

The Region is pretty much Lake county in Indiana (and Porter, Newton, etc.). Being so close to Chicago, we pretty much have nothing in common with Indianapolis. We also do not operate on most of the time zone the rest of the state uses.

Hopefully gonna have it in several hours after my last day of finals (perfect day to get it).
